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

[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

I don't think i could budget, justify a mark iv price tag, from what i seen asked for on ebay, which is why i was seeking out a gantry set

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

but... i think im some what convinced to get just the gantry at least

I'd recommend it. If you look carefully enough you should be able to find it around $300 too. I got it for just under that. It actually looks great in a Detolf at the angle but if you have more room it will look even better. Even my wife commented that it looked impressive.

I see one on ebay for 311 shipped, im really close to hitting the buy button iono if i should hold out a lil longer for a good deal on a set tho'

 

[PoorCollector]

I am in somewhat of a dilemma too. I really love the Gantry, but a local online shop has it for AUD$400, which is ridiculous. The set with Mark IV is AUD$600, but I already have the Mark IV.

I guess I'm willing to pay $300 tops for the gantry alone, but alas shipping to Australia costs a bomb. I'm also tempted to get the Mark IV with Gantry just for the awesome backdrop, then sell my original Mark IV but keep the glasses, donut and donut box because these don't come with the Gantry + Mark IV set.

*Sigh* decisions, decisions...

I wanted the Gantry too seeing that I already have the Mark IV but being that I saw the set for $500 I grabbed it. I plan on selling my Mark IV in April when I can post in the FS section. I always wanted to keep the glasses, donut, etc because that was the main thing about the Mark IV that grabbed me. I told myself to suck it up and sell it with it. It'll lose some of it's resell value without it.

casefresh.com has one for 345

I would just buy the Gantry. The Mark 4 you have is worth more, you want have to sell it and if you keep the Glasses, Donut, and Box your not going to get as much as you would with it.

But really the longer everyone waits to save $5 your going to be spending more and more each day you wait.

BTW I don't like the Backdrop, nor do I used it. You have to take a part the box.

$311 ship and your thinking about it? Really? Really? In the US alone shipping on just the Gantry (not from SSC) would cost you over $40. I would say by the time you read this someone has hit Buy!

At this point I don't think your going to fine many people that will let the set go for under $650 plus shipping now.

Whoa great find. Didn't know this was an Australian website from lack of the .au

Last set though, I just might pick this up.

I didn't know you had to take apart the box for the backdrop. But I guess you and others are right. Might just get the gantry, I love the glasses too much to part with them.

I think the other benefit of the Mark IV with the gantry is that it comes with the Dummy robot.

but thats been available with a few different sets, including the IM3 stark figure.

 

[PoorCollector]

Yeah the dummy robot is a cool addition for those that don't have it yet. I already have one though, that comes with the mech test version.

The IM3 stark figure one is a tad different, it comes with wheels and a video camera in place of the fire extinguisher.

Was also a selling point to me. The only hard part is letting go of the glasses and donut from the original Mark IV.

 

[EFFalcon]

yep, and as someone who has the gantry one but not the other.. i hate you both for having the donuts and glasses

 

[ThatIsTooReal]

I found the glasses for $10 on eBay. Might just pick them up after selling the original Mark IV. The donut and the box sells for $50..


$200 for a plastic toy is one thing but $50 for a fake 2cm donut is another.

Guys, one question.

Can the original Mark IV chest plate be attached to the gantry? I read somewhere that the one that comes with the gantry set has magnets to attach onto the gantry. Pretty sure mine is just plastic.

Only the Mark IV that came with the Gantry set has magnets on the chest piece to work with the Gantry set. They're placed on the left and right of the arc reactor glass piece. You can however buy small earth magnets and glue them. My IM2 Mark IV is boxed up so I'm not sure if it will work, but I don't see why it wouldn't.

 

[EFFalcon]

$50 for the donut he's sitting in would be ok

 

[Mix Master]

on ebay i just saw black widows headsculpt it was 180 dollars then i saw the full figure for 192 dollars. ***** logic

Correction: Metal pieces are on the chest cover, and magnets is on the Gantry arms
