1/6 Hot Toys MMS - Avengers: Infinity War - War Machine Mark 4

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

I doubt it. Though every new figure is potentially the last version.

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

Nah, the chest is a totally different design. Even leaving the new lights aside, it's more angular than the Mark III.

The helmet's the only thing that's the same. The back-mounted weapons alone give the Mark IV a completely different silhouette.

probably just a different chestplate and a different canon attached in the back...not putting my hopes up but I also am accepting the possibility it could be a repaint.

Is this potentially the last war machine?

The War Machine Mk 3 and 4 are different. As different as each iteration has been from the Mk 1 to IP/Mk 2 to the Mk 3. Each one of those generations were brand new figures. They even went back and re-did the Mk 1 diecast.

I'm no optimist, but there's nothing in Hot Toys's history to indicate that a War Machine figure would just be a different chest plate and a repaint which would be wholly inaccurate. They would just not do the figure rather than do it that poorly.

If anything, history shows us that their War Machine figures tend to be some of their strongest releases. The Mk 1 Diecast and Mk 3 are easily two of the best figures I own. The Iron Patriot was great too. And for its time, the first Mk 1 was phenomenal (and still is, relatively).

So don't worry.

Not sure why one person here is unecessarily pessimistic and delusional. Its pretty obvious its a new armor.

Can’t wait for this armor

It’s the film designs that drive those in fairness. If the screen suit is just an updated mk3 then the figure will be an updated mk3.

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

Of course. I was speaking to both the on screen suit and the figures that follow.

Just going from what we've seen and the 004 designation on his arm, it's a different generation of armor than just an updated Mk 3. (I know you were just giving an example).

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

Agree that it’s the mk4. But that doesn’t rule out just a tweak to the suit. Marvel may not yet have done that with war machine, but that could just be because of a lack of screen time. They do it with iron man all the time. And cap and Thor and everyone else that has decent screen time really. There are clear differences between the mk3 and mk4 but there are a lot of similarities as well. This appears much more like the iron man mk45 to 46 update then the war machine mk2 to mk3. Which means it’s possible that they just tweak the mk3 figure to match how it’s done on screen.

I agree with the last part tho. mk1 wm is definitely just pure classic bad ***. =)

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

I'm hoping for some more weaponry on this one than a single shoulder cannon. Doesn't look like War Machine to me if it isn't covered in weapons.

More like this:

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

Any news on his new suit figure yet?
I need this badly

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

I think Don Cheadle is doing a great job as Rhodey and War Machine. Wasn't as big a fan of Terrence Howard.

Hoping to see a reveal for this figure soon. I missed out on War Machine Mark I & III because I wasn't collecting then. Mark II is too small and doesn't look nearly imposing enough.

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

Why are we even talking about Howard? Nobody cares anymore. That was a looooong time ago. Cheadle IS war machine.

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

I guess it sorta proves how weak Cheadle is in the role that people still talk about Howard

Re: Hot Toys - Infinity War - War Machine (?)

Any idea when the figure will drop?

...and on a superficial level, the dude is truly sexy AF.

Fixed that for you.
