Hot toys MMS - Iron Man MK. 33 Silver Centurion

[Plastic Bateman]

Things like screen time and lack of diecast never really bothered me. I mean, diecast is down to a heft thing, right? It's an aesthetic choice that has everything to do with tactile sensations and little to do with visuals. In fact, as I understand it, plastic holds a sharper edge than metal, so you're likely to have a more accurate reproduction at a given scale with plastic over metal. Paint and finish affect the final appearance of the product more than the type of materials used.

As to the Silver Centurion's range of motion, I've only had mine for half a day. But the more I experiment with it, the more I'm able to do with it. (That's actually the second image I did of the IM/SS duel. I did a do-over after figuring out the trick to freeing the ab articulation. Kind of embarrassing, but I was rushing to get it all done during my lunch.) So, yeah. I get what you're saying there.

When I said diecast I meant more in terms of the engineering innovations like the shoulder barrels, additional hip articulation, deeper elbow curls, etc. Honestly I think I prefer the plastic suits all things considered.

Ah, okay, yeah. I hear you.

Funny thing about this one is that it's called SILVER Centurion when it's mostly red... I would have inverted the colors and made the silver more shiny and sparkly.

I love this guy but if definitely couldv'e been closer to its comic book form. Someone way back posted a cool picture of either a custom or just photo shopped. Either way very to happy to have him.

It was meant to be an homage to the first (?) major redesign of the Iron Man armor back in the 80s. (Iron Man 200 was the third IM book I ever bought. Yep. Old. )

Don't know why the designers chose to dominate the armor with so much red. I'm planning to either ask one of our in-house painters re-paint it for me, or at least get advice on how to do it myself. Once that's accomplished, I'll likely shoot that photo over again.

That one looks so much better.

Agreed. I started reading Ironman at #198.

This custom is just jaw dropping.
And I can't believe Marvel didn't do this right off the bat.
It's so much better it's not even open for debate. Almost want to buy another one to make it into this. It just looks right.

 

[Brainiac]

That a shop job..... I think thats my one.... I can't remember. I did a few

 

[Motuxmen]

Have you seen the display at the show with all the marvel products for avengers and marvel? It has the mk33 in the pose from the movie...looks great...

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

That does look really cool.

 

[Motuxmen]

Yea. I thought it was cool. I don't yet have this figure. But this photo has me moving it up my list.

Problem....that Tony Stark figure doesn't have a flight stand. Just the normal figure stand. Kinda hard to make that pose. I have both Silver Centurion and Tony Stark the Mechanic figures. Kinda tempted to make that pose for the detolf shelf that I'm buying later tonight

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

I remember seeing a modded Silver Cent (or maybe a photoshop?) where the back flaps plus most of the other rear armature was opened with Stark flying in from behind like this. I gotta find it now.

Re: Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 33

That's actually Hot Rod's pose, SC just landed behind Stark and wrapped around him. Rhodey was like, ok me next and stark was like, nope

BUT that is a great shot

 

[Motuxmen]

Yea I know it's not exact from the movie. But I thought it was a cool pose.

As for the flight stand...I'm sure one can be bought.

That would be a cool look too

That would be me. It's just a photoshop. I have yet to get it repainted that way, as I'm still looking for someone in the U.S. who is experienced enough with HT Iron Man repaints. I would do it myself, but I have no clue what I'm doing -- and the disassembling scares me the most. Also, paint-matching is another concern of mine. But anyways, as the originator of that re-paint idea, I'm quite embarrassed I haven't gotten it done yet...

With several 20% off coupons available at the moment, this piece is getting more and more tempting. I would definitely like one of these more poseable, Sixth Scale HT movie Iron Man's to add to my collection (I only have the Mark XLII with limited articulation). Worth picking up?

This armor is definitely worth picking up imo. Its one of the best HPP armors to be released so far, incredible details and paintwork
