Hot Toys - MMS 191 - Iron Man 3 - Tony Stark Specs & Pics

its a shame that this won't include the backdrop from the photos, I guess its HT way of saying go buy the Hall of Armor displays, it would really complete the figure

 

[EFFalcon]

sounds like the sort of thing someone could commission

 

[ebor]

Really like the up-dated HS, this now becomes yet another must-buy in 2013

Am I the only one that thinks the new version looks weird??..

Nope, they carried over the Bug-Eyes looks from Barney to this.

While the HS looks great, I have to agree on the bug eyes.
I can't believe some people actually posted manips that 2x'd the size of poor Tony's eyeballs - and thought it looked okay - and HT listened to them.

 

[SixthScaleEdward]

I think what disturbs me most is how it doesn't look like a real human being anymore.

 

[batfan08]

Well, in a lot of ways, it's just them trying to please the consumer. I've seen just about a million stupid Facebook posts about how "figure x looks too Asian, he needs wider eyes." I call HT out when they're wrong, but I really can't blame them for this one. That's on whoever wanted his eyes to be, well, whatever that is, now. Personally, I don't think that they're quite as bad as Barney's; if his eyes are size 2X, these are 1.25X.

It's not perfect but it's way better than the old one at least. The old one didnt look like him at all. I feel like this will be the closet we will get. I don't think they will resculpt it again.

LOL Someone just posted this on my FB page. My friends know me all too well, apparently.

As a Photographer, it still kills me that these guys don't know anything about White Balance. The skin color is totally different, LOL. Someone teach these guys how to use a camera!

...this is all i see

 

[Doomsday]

I think a lot of time as goes with these promo pics, its all dependent on the angle and lighting the photos where taken in, I'm not going to be scared off because of one close up pic, the way I display him and the lighting I use may make it look like a completely different figure, as it will with anyone who buys it

people freaked when the DX12 promo pics came out and that figure sold out in no time and IMO looks amazing the way I have him displayed

I'm starting to feel this might be the ugliest headsculpt I've seen, all the other Tony Stark HS are much better. Even if the rest of the face was scaned if the eyes are wrong the HS is a failure imho

I don't see a problem with the shape of the irises on the new sculpt. RDJ's are about that size in real life. He's very "dough-eyed." I do, however, think the overall shape of the eyelid is still off. They appear just slightly too circular. They should be ever so slightly wider. I will say that the beard and hairline have been improved.

 

[Mogli]

A bit bug-eyed, but I like it a lot more than the last sculpt. RDJ tends to make bug-eyed expressions a lot anyway.

Can't wait to see all the in-hand pictures from everyone.

Managed to grab it for $220 shipped on eBay. Thanks to Doomsday for letting me know the name of the seller. He had one more up.
Saved a good $70.

HT does not listen to anybody

I think it looks fine, watch the trailer when he is talking to pepper, this is very close to how he looks.

It's not perfect but for a 1/6 piece of plastic, it's really good.

that's great man, I'm glad you could get one

 

[CriterionCollector]

New sculpt is way better than the Jersey Shore version for sure.

 

[Mr Walker]

Glad to see the extra arm.
