Got this in hand and I must say, I was very underwhelmed. Biggest impulse buy for me so far haha...

Cost/value aside what do you find underwhelming? Something specific? Or are you just overall underwhelmed?

 

[Gakken85]

I hope they redo the MK2 at some point. haha

 

[Tgg7979]

Crap... Rescheduled to Thursday for me. Oh well, better than Friday.

 

[SkyIScrape]

I hope they redo the MK2 at some point. haha

I know it's early, but are you serious? Do you mean Mark III? What is wrong with the Mark II AU that a reissue could fix (other than articulated abs)?

 

[Gakken85]

Why wouldn't I be serious? It's too small and it just looks out of date.
Articulation and general sculpt.

Another Mark 2? Nope

The Mark II AU is a great figure! Maybe you mean the original Mark II?

Too small? I don't know if I've ever heard that critique of the Mark II AU. The neck is a bit long and, like I mentioned before, the abs don't move, but I think it's the best representation of this armor that we'll get in this scale and with this level of articulation. Have you seen the original Mark II and the Mark II AU side-by-side? This one is a work of art and a vast improvement by comparison. I would consider a brushed chrome die-cast version particularly if they got the neck right.

I guess judging by the improvements between the original and the AU version, a third version would probably be able to fly and come with a gantry that can automatically put the armor over a Stark figure

 

[Darthgothikus]

MkII AU is the nuts.

We need a MK III redo. With proper proportions.

I don't have it in hand yet but this was an impulse buy for me too. Not sure what I want to do with it. Likely I'll keep it sealed an sell it later to pay for one of the statues I have coming. I finally unpacked my Mk VII BD this weekend and I don't think I have the room for this guy as well.

Looks great in the photos, though.

This guy gets it.

What is a good price for a non-battle damaged Mk III these days?

 

[bonestockbrz]

Ex or regular ?
Ex $350 -450
Regular $300 -400

The fading, box, shipper are other factors in price.

 

[SkyIScrape]

This guy gets it.

... he's not agreeing with you. The Mark III DOES need an update, but we're talking about the Mark II, which just had an update with the AU release. I don't understand what you're saying. So you think the new Mark II and old Mark III need to be redone?

As for Midas, mine should be delivered momentarily!

 

[Viking Spawn]

Oooooh Shiny!

I am Jealous! I think mine got stuck in transit somewhere. and it doesn't look like it will come today.
