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

[Wor-Gar]

Found it cheaper than BBTS? I though they were your go-to for buying figures.

I do get stuff from BBTS but in this instance I got this figure shipped for less than BBTS's retail price before shipping. Like I said, I didn't expect to win -- can't tell you how many auctions I've lost on this, but Sunday nights you can get lucky.

Just won this. At long last -- I missed out on the first and this has been an obsession ever since -- I will finally have my Mark I.

Good stuff, congrats! It's a real jaw dropper.

Thanks! I've really loved this figure since I first saw the original. At one time, it was going to be the only Iron Man on my shelf -- it was just so retro and funky and yet so amazingly engineered from a 1/6th aspect -- but Avengers changed things and I found myself with a Mark VI... and a lust for the Mark II and the Mark V (those two I'm still trying to hunt down for a bargain price).

 

[Voorhees27]

Yeah no doubt dude. I think i'm just getting tired of human likeness issues. Nothing tops a figure wearing a mask or in robot form. Love em!

Great score!

Wow! Now that was a great deal!

I think it's safe to assume that soon you'll get the mark 4 and mark 3

I wouldn't put it past me, especially if they redo the III.

My real fear is my limited resistence against the Iron Monger. I justify it by saying that I don't have the other villain, Whiplash. But Whiplash is puny and the Iron Monger is so rad it's a weak shield against Monger-madness.

Just collect the Stark industries armor/suits then.

War machine doesn't count, because its made by hammer, even though the base is mark II

War Machine is also puny against the Monger! But I like the weapons


Honestly though, I like mark I for its clunkiness, Mark II for its chrome art-deco feel, Mark V because its so different and slim, and finally the Mark VI because of the total battle-damage and its in 2 films. I thought going from the I to II to V to VI would actually look pretty cool.

 

[Hydeous]

Yeah, I'm just trying to justify it for myself since I sold it a few months ago.

I just got my Mk.I ver2.0 yesterday, and it provides a fresh different look in style to my display case with the Mk.IIAU/IV/V/VI and WM that's already in there.

Out curiosity, does anyone display their Mk.I with the usual Hall of Armors stand? He stands relatively ok on it, but obviously, the "backpack" of the suit sticks out too much and interferes with the support arm; while his waistline in this suit is too wide for the clamp to hold onto. What does everyone else do?

a couple more days and I should have this bad boy . Just being shipped right now from SPC.

Just replace it with a Tony head. I had the same feelings. But the force of the darkside is so strong with SSC.

Yes and NO. All but this one. I have him zip tied on it right now.

Just the weapons on the outside. WM is so far the best one in my mind. Mark 6 next. Still think the mark1 is a walking junker. Bet like it being its a junker..
