Hot Toys - MMS168 - Iron Man: 1/6th scale Mark I (2.0)

[BatBrain]

Got mine from SS and I immediately had a piece of armour on his upper right arm fall off. Tried to glue it on several times with no success. The joints are also really loose like maybe he was used or something. Sending him back. I'm having no luck this week. I got the Batpod the same day and have to return that due to some QC issues as well.

It's always worked for me...
Glad it gave you a little opening though.
I meant to also say that another alternative is to make the hole and put a screw into it to pull the piece out.
It's an old trick.

I have taps for that. I need just one about 30 years ago. Turn out 60 peace set was on sale for 25% of the cost of just that one.

I have had little issues here and there. But I have to say the tumbler is really starting make me think about it. I heard many bad things about quality. At $550 I want to go voom (and singing the batman theme) with the wheels falling off.

I have the Tumbler and I can say that it is awesome. No QC issues with that one thankfully. The Ironman and Batpod were my first QC issues with HT. I guess I've been lucky but it's still frustrating when you have to send something back.

Just contact SS's CS... They were plenty helpful with me with my TA IM.

It's really sad to hear these broken parts and loose joints. Hope you guys with problems get it sorted out.
This fig is definitely a complex work of art.

I'm always kind of surprised at how awesome the Mark I looks when it's just standing there in a relaxed pose. Nice photos!

What kinda lights are you using, btw? I dig those!

 

[Stealth V3teran]

They are called Flute lights [ame]https://www.amazon.com/LED-Light-Flute-Portable-Silver/dp/B003OX82KA[/ame] i got them from the uk store by a company who makes an exact copy of them. They are really usefull for single case lighting

Looks great!

I raised arm poses just don't do it.
Standing and relaxed poses give a feeling of it being massive and ominous.

Hey cool! I can actually afford those!

Absoluetely, but yours seem to be from Sylvania.

Is it a ripoff, or is this company having Osram under it?!

no idea, they haven't got the sylvania logo on which they would do if they were from sylvania.They also came in the osram packaging so maybe osram is there international company not sure, they are almost identical either way.

Excellent.
I get my Mark I approximatly today, so I have him lit up this evening.
But I will light up from above.
If you like you can have a look in my collection thread on how I lit up my figures.

Q: Should I go ahead and buy, take a chance?

Yesterday, I bid on an auction for the Mark 1 2.0. My bid was £85. Auction closed at £92. I get a second chance offer for £85 (+£25 shipping). Comes to £110 ($176.50) shipped.

I think something is wrong. Seller never sold any HTs and suddenly had so many up for bidding till yesterday (he had BatPod, DX10, etc.).

Any advice folks?
