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

I'll remember that the next time I read it (30 days after close of auction) and after paying the guy hundreds and waiting weeks, I finally get a pink Handkerchief in the mail. And, when I tell him I going to file a claim (BECAUSE I WASN'T STUPID ENOUGHT TO LET THE TIME RUN OUT ON ME BEING ABLE TO FILE A CLAIM), he claims that he will resend it, and then the second item turns out to be a pair of men's socks.

Jesus, man, stop shouting.
I have a sore head.

WOW....that is bad...

I looked and Silver centurion / Tony Stark Madarian Attack / Heartbreaker are all listed as "shipping in 30 days"...

So, if this is still set to ship out in August according to sideshow, shouldn't we be seeing pics soon from the other side of the globe?

 

[TechLife]

Exactly. With no pics being out, the chances of seeing this in August are slim to none. I haven't seen anything yet, but I am expecting an email from SS any day now saying my final flex payment is delayed.

 

[subzro]

I'm guessing October or November, if we are lucky

What they seem to be doing lately is waiting until one week into the month to push it back. So likely the first week in August they will change it to October on their website.

If we see this before January I'll be very surprised, lol.

here's the skinny. if you sell a preorder item and take full payment, it MUST ship within 30 days. that's not only ebay rules but US Federal law. if the seller takes a deposit, it no longer is a federal offense if the item doesn't ship within 30 days however it's still against ebay rules.

and here's something a lot of people don't know... if you do put a deposit down and pay the balance later on, you have NO recourse if the seller decides to screw you after you pay the balance, the item is lost or damaged, or if it is not as described because the payment was divided. that disqualifies the buyer from protection or filing a claim.

in my experience, it's best NOT to preorder on ebay.

i can't stop looking at the pics of the IM3 mech test RDJ head sculpt. it really makes me sad that the same type of effort wasn't put in to MKVII RDJ HS.

I seriously think this figure might be released next year.

 

[Silent December]

It was totally expected but I just an email from SSC pushing my final flex till September.

 

[Warpsmith]

Yep. Just got the same email. Looks like it's going to be September.

 

[Art]

Me too, got the email pushing my final flex to 9/20

Found these pics here: https://the-sun.on.cc/cnt/lifestyle/20130207/00487_001.html

Could this mean that its out in Hong Kong now and that the Sideshow release date could be true?

Let me guess......a Hispanic Scott Baio?

Those are really old pictures from this spring before they added the second arm and updated the HS.

Whoops sorry... Never saw those pics before, but I can see the lack of the second arm

I have the armour test Tony on order already.
I am not sure i'll bother with this one, as my main intent was a garage/Hall Of Armour dio.
But i just found a seller on Ebay who stays in downtown HK, and says he will do me a deal on new HT releases(I bought a couple of MKVI's off him, so he's on the level).
So if the deal is good, i will get one of these.

Personally I like this "workshop" Tony better than the "Mechanic", but mainly due to the HoA setup. My main problem with this figure is the fact that it won't look nearly as nice if you don't have it set up with some sort of fake flooring (maybe some thin black rubber?) and at least a picture of the Hall of Armor behind him.

To set this up on a desk or in a Detolf with nothing else, it won't look nearly as nice IMO.

Of course, there is also the issue of "battle damaged" Tony versus "not damaged" Tony....
