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

[Agentofchaos]

Got my EX yesterday! The articulation is greatly improved over Mark VI and the pieces fit in more snug too (especially the BD chest). I think the Mark IV/VI sculpt was better - I think I just preferred a neutral expression. Overall definitely a step forward.

I think he's trying to say that in his opinion, the sculpt has the essence of the Tony Stark character from the comics, but it doesn't look like Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark. That's how I read it at least.

If that is what he meant then he is making no sense. It seems like someone made that stupid statement a while ago and others just picked it up and kept repeating it withing thinking. To say a sculpt of RDJ does not look like RDJ but looks like Tony Star is flat out stupid. Any version of Tony Stark I have seen excluding RDJ'S portrayal looks nothing like RDJ. How could it? Its time to put that particular nonsense to bed.

Relax. I happen to agree that this HS doesn't look like RDJ, but it does embody Tony Stark. It's the smug expression and general appearance that does it, not the likeness itself. It could look exactly like RDJ but if it didn't have the expression, it wouldn't send as much of a message across in terms of characterization - in that case, the HS could very well be used for any RDJ kitbash, and not just a Tony Stark one. I'm going to assume you haven't read the comics and don't really understand the poster's statement. Otherwise, I don't know why you'd post such a flammable comment.

True. It also depends on which Avengers lineup you wanted. Do you need both mark VI and VII on your avengers display? I skipped on Black widow and Nick Fury. Instead, I added Spider-Man. To each his own.

I just missed out on the Mark VI because I haven't started collecting then when they came out.

i have the mark VI ex and it's from IM2. the mark VI avengers promo is the suit he wore for a bulk of the movie. when loki threw tony out the window, jarvis deployed the not ready mark VII, which is the suit he used to deter the nuke into the portal at the end. i still think the mark VI avengers suit is the best looking suit with the triangle arc.

I think they meant the head sculpt has features of the Tony Stark character but doesn't look like RDJ. Whether comic books or cartoons, the different iterations of the Tony Stark character all have similar facial features regardless of a different face.

Here you go again, always an argument with you. I read his statement fine which means the problem might be you

The helmet and shoulder on the mark VI is better than mark VII. Would the helmet fit the mark VII if I switch them?

I found this one on ebay and it doesn't look like it has the "special edition" sticker. Could it be a regular edition? https://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Toys-I...9518?pt=US_Action_Figures&hash=item3cd2fc534e

It is the regular. I ordered from them Friday when they had it instock on their website.

So hopefully SS will send out 2 week notices for the regular edition sometime this week?? I hope so, because all these pictures and people getting shipping confirmations is making me crazy!

Tell me about it. I sold my mark iv in favor of getting this, and that was over 4 months ago. Can you imagine being and iron man fan and not having an HT iron man on the shelf for 4 months?

Ha, I'm still new to collecting Hot Toys and this will be my first Iron Man. It has been a very long year waiting for this guy to show up. But July should be awesome with him and Hulk arriving.

Amazing pictures. This Thor is amazing. Still scratch my head when Thor Version 1 owners try to say its better than this.

I agree. The headsculpt is better than Thor 1.
