Hot Toys - MMS185 - The Avengers: Iron Man MK VII Official Specs & Pics

It is, indeed, quite a difficult choice, Cingen. If you know the offer for the BD will be on the table long enough, then maybe you could take the time to check out all the impending pics of the regular VII that will hit this thread. But only if you KNOW FOR SURE that the offer will remain; the BD is in very high demand, after all. And if you're relatively close to being able to afford them both, perhaps peeps could help you reach the total.

I wonder it feels getting an email saying your waitlist converted.

I just found out I may get a shot at getting a Battle Damaged version.. I know this is tricky to ask but, what should I go for if I can only afford one? The Battle Damaged version or this one?

What are the benefits / downsides each one has, what is different other than the base and the obviously battle damaged parts? And what would you choose if you had to choose one of the two?

Normally the BD one would easily win it for me, but I heared that you get less parts with it than you get with the normal version, is this true? depending on what parts may be missing this may very well be a dealbreaker for me.

Anyone helping me decide?


I will be displaying this one together with the M42 and Iron Patriot most likely.. So far I got no IM figures. Either this or the BD one will be my first and I go for shelf presence over accuracy if that's any help..

You can sale me your battle damage if you don't want it

Give it some time. Once they send out the 'item in warehouse soon' emails there will likely be some cancels. I mean its been so long since it went up for PO there are probably some people that forgot they ordered.

Thank you for easing my feels

It will be up for a very short time period I'm afraid.. The mail mentioned that it was a VERY limited supply, so my guess is it'll be less than 20 pieces.. To be honest, the only part the normal version of the Mark VII has and the BD version hasn't got I really care about are the wrist lasers. Other than that, the BD wins in all aspects for me.

I am blown away by the paintjob on the BD version and the Battle Damage looks amazing but... Wrist lasers are awesome too :/

I actually considered buying the BD version and just buying the Wrist Laser arm seperately on ebay to get the best of both worlds, but this may turn out to be a very bad idea I fear.. (the paintjobs not matching, the arm actually not fitting, who knows what may go wrong if I went this route)

Sideshow is going to have some for sale?

No, he probably is dealing with a supplier elsewhere. SSC is done with this figure, ordering wise.

I would love to get a chance for a battle damage

If you get a shot at BD for the regular price, you shoudn't think, you need to jump on it ASAP.

My advice is find a way to get both.

Haha! Yeah, wrist lasers are pretty cool. When pics of the regular VII hit, you'll probably be able to see if you can use the laser hands separate of the arms, in which case, modding your potential BD would not disrupt the BD paint scheme. Anyway, it sounds like you know your decision; good luck with scoring the BD!

You and the vast majority of collectors.

Heck yeah! I would give halve my bacon, not all, but halve for one

 

[chewdeezy]

I think I would just keep the VII and trade my BD version for Mark VI. Smart?

I'm contemplating that as well. If the BD comes in the IM3 style packaging, I'll probably trade it for a Promo Mark VI so I have an official complete HT Avengers collection.

At this point, yeah, both the BD VII and Mark VI are going for about equal prices.

Wow, BD VII is at that price already? Now I just need someone willing to trade, LOL.

Just keep watching the B/S/T section of this board, that's probably your best bet. If not, sell it on eBay and then just turn around and buy a Mark VI on eBay lol.

Just wait till these are in hand. There will be more than there is now on eBay and pricing may go down. From what I'm reading people picked up multiples and others that don't even collect IM got them to sell or trade up.
