I noticed a lot of preorders backed out on BBTS for this figure. Does anybody have any clue as to why? Is it just the wait until May thing, or is there some other information that could be shared about this release.

I read about the RDJ head resculpt, and all, but is there anything else going on. I also do not see this figure listed as a preorder on other sites other then SSC and BBTS, but the Hulk is and comes out in June???.
 
I don't know, but I wanted the exclusive from SS for the Holo MKVII figure. It'll go good on the table of the up-coming IM3 Tony Stark.
 
I have a question for anyone of the more seasoned HT buyers. I see that Sideshow collectibles has the est. release date moved to May as everyone stated in earlier posts.
I still see it set for March on BBTS and also on the HT website listed for 1st quarter 2013.

Is there any reason the date is only changed on the Sideshow site? I know they are an official U.S. Distributor, but why hasn't HT site changed the date listed?

Most of the time if you push a items date back to many times you will have people backout of pre-orders. I don't care what it is. But to get more of a answer to what your asking I would say it could be this.

BBTS fix what they have on per-order and you are seeing it. Also remember this is a open board. No company wants its customers to really know they have say 100 of something in stock. People will just wait. Again they could have just fix their site (I would have).

Another thing is May is only 2 months away. HT has taken way to long to get the Mark7 out the door. With so many people now seeing the Mark 42 and it being a cost of $250. You will have people just saying I don't need another red and gold old mark.

Top it off again IM3 is going to have give or take 5 new marks. Maybe more. Again the Mark7 is old. Its not in the customers hands at this point and most will just say. I want the new one.

There are 1,000s of people that only need one or two of these. We on this board are only about the .0001%.

But no matter what, if you keep pushing off something your customers are going to say. You know I just don't need it. Like oh Loki.

This was the only EX I did not buy. I don't see the point in the little green guy and I save myself $17 in shipping. So really I was/would have had to pay $17 for it. BTW I am also thinking of dropping out and getting the metal mark 7. Maybe?

Thanks for the response man. Makes a lot of sense. I was just worried there was some issue I had missed here on the boards. This will actually be my 1st red and gold Mark suit.
I will maybe get 1 or 2 from IM3, but that is a long time coming on a HT schedule.
 
I've got the MKVII on pre-order (IM3 will be out before it :cuckoo:), but I also want an extra head sculpt for my Custom. The resin recast of the Mech Test head that I bought isn't working out.
 
Well I don't remember him even having that expression in the movie even in the last scene with all the avengers staring at Loki with his helmet of to be frank I would have preferred all the avengers having the same expressions that they had on the main poster in order to be able to recreate it
 
I kind of like the headsculpt. It's nice to see a facial expression for a change instead of the same old serious expression.

It's my favorite Stark head sculpt so far. While it's not 100% RDJ, (no head sculpt is) it has the most character.

They also have plenty of the Hulk available too, which kinda surprises me. I have a hunch it will take them over a year to sell out of him due to the price. Just like the Monger.

That is kind of good news in a way. It will give me time to save the money up and not beat the snot out of my wallet all of the sudden. The having patience thing sucks though...:impatient:

I LOVE that headsculpt :lol
its my favourite by far, much better than the lifeless and badass wanna be headsculpts they always make, this is gonna be awesome I hope they don't change it at all :love



At first I didn't like this armor that much, but it started growing on me. Now its my favourite, the circle is back ..."the triangle is a**" :lol

Couldn't agree more. I never liked the triangle, the armor was good, but the circle just fits better.

All I can think of when I read this, "It's a circle, triangle has corner."

Seriously, I'm the only one that likes the smirk on the new sculpt? All the other sculpts have him being all moody and mad looking. This will go great with the gantry set.
