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

[gunm]

The prices this year compared to last are all quite a bit higher. You can't say that $250 is "DX pricing" anymore, nor can you say that $150 is "standard" pricing for a regular MMS.

That said, I'm guessing we'll find out shortly, perhaps even tomorrow, if SSC puts up the preorders.

With the helmet on...you just can't tell the obvious difference...

Exactly.

I think they did these just to satisfy the growing number of HT fans, and to stop the vietnamese bootlegs on recasts.

doesn't his face sculpt look too clean cut? he should face should be all dirty and sweaty and hair not so clean cut. He was in captivity in a dark cave. LOL..yea..i'm getting picky.

Thats what I noticed too actually.

At least the V1's hair bangs are messy and accurate.

My Mark 1 is display with the helmet on...Since i got it, I just took a peek on the HS and boom...he never saw the daylight...

 

[eaglerabbit89]

nice. another chance to get this. now bring on the DX Joker 2.0! i wonder what the price will be for this one. i guess we will find out in a day or two.

 

[ashkanls]

What a waste. Instead of releasing new characters they do old crap that has high value on the secondary market almost like they arent getting the pie so no one should.

Where the heck is Green Lantern or the New X-men stuff or the Pink version, black version, purple version, gay pride version Iron Man mark 2047234563???

 

[HotKing]

The price for the Mark 1 (v2.0) is at $250 Singapore dollars for pre-order...
I am guessing SS will [rice this at $220 USD or slightly more...

 

[Centurion]

I hope it's taller than v1.0

 

[rdc2]

I hope it's taller than v1.0

Why? Will you be placing it side by side?

 

[xenom0rph]

Must buy - I don't think we will get a third chance on this....or will we? ;-) With hot toys you never know.

Really like the new headsculpt - it's definately oriented to the Mech Test Tony stark HS.

1.0 was too short. Mark I was pretty huge, watch the movie.

 

[The Entity]

Have to say it looks pretty cool. The RDJ sculpt looks amazing! Brilliant work!
But, I'm happy with just the one IM figure that I have, so this will be an easy pass for me

 

[Hydeous]

PO price is up from my local dealer $200. So SS price would most likely be $219 I'm guessing.

Seems like sound business sense to me... re-release a figure that the secondary market has shown to be a winner with fans, snaffle up all the easy money and maybe use that money towards more R & D and/or riskier or more niche licenses. This re-release is driving the hobby forward. Or it could just be going straight into Howard's new Ferrari. Which is fine too, Howard's a swell guy.

Very nice! Great head sculpt and I love the flame accessory. Not sure if I will get it though. In the entire time I collect i've decided I only need 1 Iron Man figure. Obviously the red and gold 'classic' look is a suitable choice but both this and MK 2 unleashed version have caught my eye

Any outside opinions on what Iron Man figure I should get as my one and only?

I'm with you, It really is just smart business. I understand why people are upset with hot toys going all re-issue crazy. I like many others have had many of my hot toy figures devalue to a price lower than I payed. I think It's silly though to get mad at hot toys as a company for it though. We the consumers are the reason for this. We created an unprecedented event in the collector community were collectibles were sky rocketing one after another in value and in a short period of time. Hot toys has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and it would be stupid not to revisit these previous figures especially when there is a guaranteed market who has demonstrated that they are willing to pay well above the original price set for the older figures. I am definatley ready for them to start giving other licenses the same attention they do to iron man and predator, and I am all most certain that day will come sooner than we think.

I have the mark iii, mark iv, and the mark vi. I would call it a tough split decision between the mark vi and iv, but I would say go with the mark iv. The mark iii does have it's charms aesthetically over the new marks, but the mark iv and vi are just to much of an improvement over it in my opinion. So if you want my opinion I'de say go with the mark iv.
