Hot Toys - MMS: IM2- WAR MACHINE (Special/MILK Version)

[Firebird]

Thinking about using some reward points to get this fig. Is it worth it?

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

I say save your points for a different figure...if you have the original that is

 

[Firebird]

Thanks man. I was a little iffy on buying this figure, because it is just a repaint and all.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Dont get me wrong, its cool, but not a must-have IMO and it doesnt go well with the other Marvel HT figures other than the Silly Thing or secret Project Iron Man figures

Thanks for the idea!
I should line all the "Silly" ones and the secret projects. They are a different breed thats for sure...

It may not be "movie realistic" but I think the color scheme works with many Marvel figs thus far. Blade II, Ghost Rider, Widow etc all have darker costumes. According to Josh's review, the amor is weathered therefore, IMO it would work fine. That said, it is a repaint which definitely knocks it down a peg in the "must have" category.

If it was a new mold I would have bought it...new paint isn't enough

I agree about the repaints. A total waste IMO........

Would disagree that he doesn't look good with other figures. He looks pretty impressive especially with all my iron man figures.

I'm not usually that big of a fan of straight repaints of old molds either, but this guy does look very nice. I wouldn't blame somebody for wanting both versions.

Saw this today at the local shop for $255.00 CAD. Looked very nice, the battle damage was subtle but effective. The only difference to the original sculpt that I could notice, with a very brief look, was the side armour on the calves.

I have the V1 Warmachine and can't justify this with so many other great figures down the pipe. Kudos to those who have this.

I just mean he looks too comic-y compared to the others

Yeah. Only reason why I got him is because he is closer to the comics and the movie WM looked kinda dull in terms of color. Guess it depends on what kind of collection you want to have.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

i'd love mine to be comic based, just not only one of them

 

[The Josh]

I don't think so looking at him compared to the others. Yes, his coloring as what we've seen in a few comics but the sculpt still is movie designed so the look goes with that. Like I said he looks pretty badass mixed in with the others.

 

[Darkseed]

I actually like this color scheme. the problem is it offers nothing new ( beyond stand & color) while costing more than the original.

And I think he looks more comic-like in the pics. In person, the colors really work and are way more suddle. I love it!

Yeah, its a pretty sharp piece.

agreed. It also adds color to the display which is also nice to look at.
