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

[wamphyri13]

Thanks guys! Glad you like the pics!



I photographed the figure without the lights on. I wanted the blue lighting from the base to show on the figure. The shutter was open for 30 seconds in order to get all the light from the base. The arc reactor light on the figure is crazy bright, and it would ruin the photo. I outlined the eyes and arc reactor with the line tool and filled it with white colour using the paint bucket.



Yeah. The the head on the diecast Mk.III and Mk.VII are identical in size. The fit is perfect.

The photographs were very nicely done. The flat white of the chest and eyes is what got my attention. Nice work. I also like the two-tone of the holographic Mk VII. Blue feet (from the base) and green remainder. Looks good.

Is this figure known to have any pink panty problems or anything? Grappling with buying one at the moment.

I have both the reg and BD version and both are fine with no issues or fading.

Isn't the magnet placement different though?

 

[Robban]

I don't know. The face plate snaps on the same way on both heads.

Caved and bought this from a fellow freak for $280 shipped. My diecast Mk III will now have some company on the top shelf of my IM detolf. Oh this hobby ... I was doing so well sticking with a set plan until I had to urge to pick that figure up haha

Is the demand for this low now? I just got this on ebay for a decent price.

The HT market is pretty cold right now, especially for the older figs. People upgrading to the superior figs have flooded the market and many don't want to come down in price to reflect the colder market so there is a lot out there right now. As HT gets better and faster at producing lots of figs I don't think the market will ever be like it was a few years ago where you could buy a fig and almost guarantee to be able to sell it for double what you paid.

It seems that HT is overproducing their figures nowadays, I hardly see any new ones that are currently selling above their MSRP.

 

[dapro]

I guess its good. Now people who came late to the party can get it around retail price.

I don't think it's over producing its just producing with current orders. The problem is there are a lot more orders, and that means a lot more left over stock.

If five years ago they did 7500 per run with 1100ish for customer service stock and issues and cancelled orders, which is probably a low number, which is a 15% rate...but now they do 15,000(2x) not becuase they "over produce" but becuase there are that man more customers...well that same 15% extra is now 2200 figures. But with that much an increase in customers it also means the cancelled and reseller orders go up. So hot toys is still selling out at the same pace, so for them nothing has changed except more sales. But the secondary market is now saturated and prices are mostly flat. It's not hot toys over produce. All they have to do is meet demand and the growing sales cause the market to flux. Becuase there are now more figures available for those that come in late, meaning there's not a shortage on the secondary market but a balance. It happens with anything that gets popular. As it grows the speculators grow. The people who only buy becuase it's popular. Those that only order to see if it sells out. And then when it doesn't they cancel. All that just adds to secondary market stock. But the retailer is obligated to order and pay for that from hot toys no matter if you cancel. So as far as hot toys is concern they are still selling out or at the same speed as before.
