So is this guy the first to get the ball rolling, so to speak? If so do we know when. Need a new purchase fix.

IIRC the initial release date was this month (June), cant see him arriving this month though even in HK so I suspect July at the earliest

Like you I'm in desperate need for a new figure fix, I wont be getting this guy though

Which is why in the past week I picked up Odin, IM Mk V, Mk II, Mk VI.

If this comes out by the end of June, it would be tempting to pick this up
I want to start having Avengers figs in my display

Wowsers! Did you get a second mortgage?

No, but I recently paid off a big recurring bill, and I got some money I was owed from work. Not something I could normally afford to do.

I see. It was a matter of good timing then! Nice hauling!

Just the guy I need to speak to then. I need an Odin, Mark V and want the Mark II. Im taking that is the AU versions. I only want to buy one at this moment, so what order would you rank them in?

Fury has already officailly been moved to July as a release date. Emails were sent by SSC and posted here a week or so ago.

Is Fury the first of the avenger line up to be released other then the mark vi ?

 

[Ultron-7]

why did i come in here??? I'm gonna have to get Fury now, he looks a lot better in the pics on previous pages

Lol I know the feeling. Why did I come to this site ?!?!

Once day I'm up 3k from selling my wheels. A week later I have 9 marvel figures + all the avengers pre-ordered (5 so far...) and i'm out 3k + lol.... O wells eye candy for a lot more eye candy is a fair trade.

Hrm.

I would have to put the Mark II above the others, clear and easy. Price, for me, is on par with the Mk V, and it has so much more stuff with it. I'm also not a big fan of battle damage, but the Mk II has those removable panels which allows you to get that exposed detail without the scorching. The extra heads and the work table are nice bonuses.

The Mark V currently costs about the same as the Mark II. I personally like that armor a lot, but it just is lacking in bits and pieces. I also went through a minor frustration regarding the small chest plate (see the Mk V thread for details), which makes me more reluctant to "fiddle" in the future. LOve the read paint, which is a bit darker than in the other IM's I've seen (or appears that way due to the gray/silver contrast). The briefcase is kind of useless unless you have a Stark (which I'm in the midst of putting together).

Odin you can probably get fairly cheap right now (under $150), but he also comes with fewer accessories. Also, its Odin, not Thor, Iron Man. He's a supporting player, so unless you have or plan to get Thor and/or Loki, I don't see the point (unless you are a big fan of Hopkins or Odin himself). Very good HS of Hoplins (albiet with a big hair seam). Love the helment and the cape. Armor/costume is fairly accurate (I can't say I've studied in detail, so I won't go further). Looks good on display, and doesn't impede articulation. With numerous hands, spear, and helm, lots of imposing poses are possible.

In the end, I'd put the Mark II on top, then let Odin or the Mk V be decided first by character preference, then by price (though if I had to guess, it would be that the Mk V would be the one to jump in price in the long term).

Yep. Add in a Memorial Day discount from Sideshow and the surprise release of the Mk VI, I just caved, and caved hard.

No in hand pics yet from Asia? I guess he's been delayed?

July release now. Should be seeing him soon.

 

[TotalDominAsian]

That's what my last flex payment says too. Just odd we haven't seen any in hand pics from overseas yet
