Hot Toys-MMS116:IRON MAN- Tony Stark (Mech Test Version) spec + pics

[Demimatt]

I say the mech test its more for completests ..up against the dx joker, joker wins as he is a ..how to put this? ..a finished character? ..mech test is based on a scene from the first ironman movie where as joker is ..well the joker as he appeared for most of the dark knight.

I can see that, I also think that as a collector I try to go for more Iconic pieces, currently I am heavy into the GI Joe line because it is a fond memory from my childhood where as Mech test is just a cool guy from a movie and moreso the DX Joker is a cool character from an OK movie.

thanks guys. only have mark II and have regular mark III coming in a few days. i guess i'll just have a look at it 1st when my local comic/toy store gets it in. i have to agree on the opinion that this is somewhat intended for the iron man line completists out there.

Im not an Iron man completest and Im still getting this. The reason for me is the same reason I think the Mark 1 is so awesome because its a dude in a suit. The other figures are cool but they are just a little too toyish for me. Yeah I know these are toys blah blah..
Also one the things I like the most about the Iron man movies is watching Tony make all this stuff and this figure is all about that. Oh and the head sculpt is bad a$$

These are the same reasons that will make Whiplash so awesome.

still on the fence about this guy. When I 1st saw him I was in love with him, now not sure. Debating on this versus the DX Joker. Thoughts?

This is exactly how i felt when the figure was introduced. The problem for me is that Hot toys was coming up with more armors and figures that I really wanted and I needed to be choosy where to put my money.
So the real question is do you have the money to spend on several Hot Toys figures? If you don't, which would you rather get; this or a mark 6 or war machine?

Me? All I wanted was the boots from e-bay for display in the background and because it thought the boots looked really cool. I got it for 23.00. And for $h%t and giggles I put a bid on the rest for 50 and got it at 48.00. I mean, honestly, a TT figure goes for 39.99 at CSC. And for 48.00 I got the figure, pants, shirt, knee pads, shoes, the light up hands, armor on the arms and stuff. I could NOT believe my luck.
It is a great figure but I don't think it's worth 150. maybe 125, tops.
I think it all comes down to what you can afford or willing to pay for it.

Thats good to know ..i hope he includes the original hot toys outer packaging ..its just cardboard but i still want it!!

He does sometimes, usually when you buy single figure.
I have the outer box for the BD Mark III and was just about to throw it out. PM me if you want it.

Tnx 4 the offer and but as much as i like getting the outer box with a figure ..actually buying one separately would be the first sign of a serious problem

The only outer boxes i have are king leos and dx jokers.

If you want it just pay for postage man, I'll throw it out otherwise.
