i would say this is my favorite suit! totally bad a$$!!!!
Hope you're right! The Mark IV went for $160 on Alter Ego and Cornerstore Comics.It's MK. IV's price... not MK. VI's
The battle damage on this figure reflects the first two hits Tony took from Whiplash and is in fact movie accurate. While he did take significantly more damage after that, the figure doesn't have to reflect ALL of the damage to be accurate.In order to be "movie accurate", this figure should have more battled damage "scars" on the armor... c'mon!!!!!
Just watch movie...
so why the high price?
Well the answer probably is that its a one and done figure, whereas the Mark IV and the Mark VI both share a basic body that could be utilized twice with components swapped out to create each one. The Mark V doesn't have that possibility. I have a feeling had they not made the Mark IV that the Mark VI would be higher than it was. War Machine keeps costs low because everyone is assuming the reusage of the base body for a BD version.
I hate to see the price of the Marks for Iron Man 3 or even The Avengers.
Maybe we all should make petition so HT will be more considerate in setting price and giving up accessories?
They should have not bothered with the hall of armors stand seeing as it's a briefcase when he's not wearing it.
Can't wait to see someone put a Tony together with the briefcase though!
Noooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!

I understand that people are trying to save money. God knows Im not wealthy but people really need to get serious. There is a ton of work that goes into making these "toys". This figure has really nothing in common from any other figure. Its a total ground up figure. That is a very expensive to do and the price is going to reflect that. Its not like some of the others that are basically a head and some clothes. This total R&D from start to finish. If we want these complex, one off figures, we are going to have to pay the price. This hobby is just going to get more and more expensive. Get ready for it.
