This is too big a job. HT will ignore.
No doubt. HT had ten years to make good on an iconic suit and they did a straight reissue. RDJ himself could call Howard and Howard would hang up.

Or they will announce a properly scaled version a week after this comes out.This is too big a job. HT will ignore.
I could be mixing it up, but from pics, the Queen Studios MK1 looks really small next to their other armors as well.Every other company that’s made this - Revoltech, Bandai, ZD Toys, King Arts, Queen studios, Iron Studios, the list goes on - has made it roughly the same height as the other Iron Man figures/statues.
Its almost as if HT is acknowledging this turning point in the films. Its like their logic is, "Of course these other armors are bigger- these are the CGI armors! They are depicted as being bigger on screen, because Marvel changed Tony's proportions half-way through the series and we have captured that perfectly!" Therefore the physical prop armor should be smaller because it was prior to the proportion change. (As if thats canon to the story. He got bigger because special effects improved) Thats how they are justifying this in their head. And i guess Marvel agrees with them.
Classic Youtuber defending the height because Robert Downey Jr is short, Tony Stark isn’t though (he literally wears heels to achieve the height), I’m buying the character not the actor.
The Bo-Katan figure is too short too, they did the actresses height (5’6”-5’7”) and not the characters (5’11”).
Hard to say. The Mark 3 isn't shown anywhere in the video that I saw, the Mark 4 asset on the right is smaller so maybe they're trying to show they upscaled? It was a practical suit at one point. That second video I posted does go in-depth about human proportions vs. armours.This is the best example of the suit changing size from the Mk4 onwards. I think he means to say size difference between the Mark 4 and the Mark 3.
I am guessing HT is using CAD drawings they get from Marvel as their basis of design. Since this suit was never used in another Marvel movie other than IM 1, it never got revised (upscaled), and they are using mostly CADs from 2.0 ie 10 years ago. Upscaling a piece like this would take a great deal of time, as there are so many unique pieces and moving parts, but that is what I thought they were doing with the delay in introducing this in the first place
Weird they found time to improve and make the Mk4, 5, 6, 7 bigger and better in diecast formI am guessing HT is using CAD drawings they get from Marvel as their basis of design.
