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

[ThatIsTooReal]

Watch it again.
It's a *radically* different gantry. It's gigantic, for one. The side "arm removers" are about twice the size of the IM2 Gantry versions.
Tony stands about four feet off the ground, and some of the arms come from the roof, not the floor.
There are also more arms coming out of the floor, and the gantry floor panels open in a different way.

It's *not* the same gantry...

Sorry, I should have made my point more clear.
I was saying yup to the fact that the Gantry itself was in the first movie. Not saying it was the EXACT same one but the general Gantry itself was in it and not a lot of people talk about it as it seems people don't even acknowledge it. It was also present when he first put on his Mark 3.

Yes it is different simply due to the fact that this Gantry is built into his home while the other one was coming out of the ground at a stadium.

No way can it be the same size seeing as the environment is different.

Yeah.
It's also insinuated that the gantry is there putting on the MKII also.
He steps up with the mech test boots and the MKII is put on over those. It *had to* be the gantry that put the suit on.

That part was also a bit confusing. You see two Gantry like arms put the leg piece together and then he puts on most of the suit on himself and also tightens them with a screwdriver. Along with the face plate.

I think it was written that he builds the MKII onto himself using a screwdriver...
The way it was in the movie looked a lot better...

Just opened it up last night. Very impressed. Here's a few quick shots including the narrow fit into the Detolf. Will post more/better ones later.

I was posing my Gantry and Mark IV tonight and I can't figure out how to get his chest off to put it on the magnet. Any hints?

There a plastic tab/stick that Hot toys usually includes with all it's iron man figures. You just have to find a spot on the figure where you can stick the plastic tab in and leverage the chest piece off

Sounds good, thank you!

Got it in the mail today. The box was huge! Postal worker told me to enjoy the figure. Will have pictures up later when I get home. Can't wait to open it.

Congrats! Look forward to them.

 

[Doomsday]

should have got this when its was at a decent price, oh well you can't get them all

 

[ThatIsTooReal]

Holy moly is thing a beauty. I have no room to display it properly so I might decide to just sell it along with my IM2 Mark IV.

I am selling my IM2 Mark IV if anyone is interested. Can't post until April in the FS area. PM if interested.

This thing is something of it's own though.

 

[fireball117]

Don't do it brother, I say keep it and display it later when you have the room.

 

[ThatIsTooReal]

I am.

I decided to get a refund for the Tony Stark IM3 and just keep this.

Unless if someone else wants it. I bought it for $220 and I'm thinking I can resell it for more instead of getting the refund.

I think I have to sell all my HT terminator collection for get all the comming figures from IRON MAN 3!!

where did you get it for 220? I keep trying to find gantry with mark iv at a decent price but its hard,, is buying the gantry by itself worth it????

Do you have the Mark IV?

Personally, I would have bought the Gantry on it's own. This thing is seriously a thing of beauty. You can put ANY mark suit in there, keep that in mind. It doesn't have to be the Mark IV. You can pretty much put any mark suit in there and it would look great. I got this set for $500 shipped from a fellow member so I couldn't pass it up. I have the IM2 Mark IV so I plan on selling that since there isn't a point of having two.

I was talking about the IM3 Tony Stark figure for $220, not this set. I managed to get it for $220 off of eBay but I'm going to be asking for a refund since this gantry is fine as it is. I don't need another environment set.

 

[styleznma]

No I don't have Mark IV, it looks really cool but its crazy expensive which is why i was trying to find a gantry set but that seems unlikely, price keeps going up and up... i just recently started collecting, i have Mark II armor unleashed, the iron monger is coming this week and have mark Vii on pre-order. Kinda wish when i started i focused on Ironman but i went Gi joe crazy with 7 of those, few spiderman and cap.america

What's your budget on buying a Mark IV? I'm thinking of selling mine if anything we can come a deal.

As far as the gantry goes. There are a couple going around for $280-$310 which is the normal price for it. I would pick it up if I were you but you can always buy it in the future. This thing isn't going to fully sell out anytime soon (the Gantry)

 

[EFFalcon]

The Gantry would display well with the Mk II aswell.. especially with all the removable parts.
