Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Suit-Up Gantry with and w/o Mk IV

[Rorywan]

Yeah, the size is very flexible. You can take the whole thing apart and display in pieces if you really need to. Opening this was the most fun I've had with Hot Toys in quite a while, so hope you guys getting it have fun doing the same. Just be careful, it's delicate.

the measurements for my particular set up is 21" x 14" keep in mind that the arms are not bent all the way which would obviously add to the width and also, the dummy is not included in the measurements including him would add another 4" diameter more or less

Cool thanks. Yeah I was guessing around 22" based on the pictures and comparing it to my Iron Man figures. Time to find a new spot!

Really can't decide whether I want this, I have it on order and need to put a deposit down but I am so torn.

Things that are putting me off is that even though it will fit in my cabinet, I won't be able to display it how I want it and also the price is quite high, I could get two figures for the price of this. BUT it is limited edition so could potentially rise in price, Mark IV looks the best IM and the box and packaging are amazing.

After Lee at Collectiblesdirect told us that this is going to be a rare item I'm almost certainly getting on board with this....

 

[kingellesar]

Yeah that is what is swinging it for me....but it's going to be so big to store

 

[Grimlock]

What? Are you buying them as an investment or to enjoy them?

 

[tommyh84]

Both......

 

[DrQ2]

What? Are you buying them as an investment or to enjoy them?

I would say both. I never sell, but I have put a high price on items to keep people from asking. Problem is when the say sold and start counting the cash out.

No matter who you are knowing you paid Xx and its worth more(withe buyer's) it does feel good the knowing its fára less the you paid for it.

Im buying to keep but when I say store i mean the box, I struggle enough with normal figure boxes.

Obviously if the value of this increased by a lot I would think of selling, the way I look at it, if i could sell a figure to get maybe two more then i would prefer to do that, I think the gantry will be a real centrepiece though.

It looks really awesome in my display. I expect I will prefer the forthcoming Iron Monger or Hulk more, but this is pretty awesome. But I also own every Marvel figure Hot Toys put out except for Wolverine (darn me for skipping that one because the movie sucked!)

I did sell my original Mark IV when this Gantry was announced, so I guess I don't have all of them. Space is definitely becoming an issue.

The only reason I haven't bought this yet is because I'm not sure if I want the solo Gantry or the one with the Mark IV. My current Mark IV has the faded panties so I'm not really looking into putting that in the Gantry.

Just recieved this beast yesterday. Wow it is so impressive with the detailing and the intricate parts. Haven't put the magnet pieces on the base floor yet. It articulates as much as your imagination allows. Very fun piece. Extremely happy with the purchase.

And I thought my Batman Armory was big.........
Need more space!

Is there a way to stop the faded panties or is it inevitable?

 

[Johnny U]

Hokietwo that is breathtaking!

 

[Indiana Fett]

So glad I sold my IM2 'pink-panty' Mark IV a few months back for around $400. Covered 4/5 of the cost of this set so I could get a 'brand new' Mark IV and only have to throw in an extra $100 for the gantry!

Skywarp181 is that you?

Nice of pics of the Gantry, thinking about getting it for the MK VII. Your Batman armory is looking great

 

[spindrift]

Great pics.......hard to resist!

 

[Centurion]

Looks like the Gantry has tight enough hinges that the robotic arms will hold any position. I wonder how long that will last though.

 

[tommyh84]

hokietwo, you need to remove the neck from the helmet

 

[hokietwo]

Yes, I had him lit up like a candle snapping picks and didn't take the post off when I took these.

As for the articulation, there are small screws that can tighten and loosen with a micro screwdriver. A couple of them were loose when I received it and needed tightened in the back. It could break down it moved around a lot for sure. Definitely Fragile.
