OSR claims that there's a new line coming with Diecast versions of previous released armours. I really hope they rerelease this one (with headsculpt of RDJ). Day 1 pre-order if true:
OSR: Get ready for his return!

Wow, imagine being in a position to make money by selling someone something, then to invent a gimmick to make them buy the same of everything all over again. And for more money! Freaking geniuses. No sarcasm. Im actually giving props here. Just wow.

It's not from hot toys. And the diecast ad is old.
But part of them redoing older armors it keeps the license for them. There are clauses in the agreement that if hot toys does not make a good faith attempt to release product from a license it reverts back to marvel to be put back up for all companies. Mk3 DC covers the iron man 1 license. Arc Tony and wm1 keep iron man 2. And so on. If hot toys didn't release it someone else gets the license and does it anyway (in this case, probably CMC as they have been interested in a larger market license)

Don't mean to resurrect an old thread but I searched and couldn't find anything. Im a new hot toys iron man owner (mark 43) and I'm heavily considering getting the mark 7 (my two favorite armors so far). One thing I noticed that hasn't really been fully answered is the arc reactor. My mark 43 has the triangular center reactor. This is odd because I thought he got it removed in IM3 and the mark 43 takes place in Avengers:AOU which takes place after IM3. Some may argue that he still has the new triangular reactor designed to be part of his new suits instead of in him, but then that wouldn't make sense why he threw his away at the end of IM3.
Now bringing it back to mark 7 relevance. The center piece of all the pictures I've seen are circular, heavy resemblance to the reactor from the first movie. Since Avengers takes place after IM2 and before IM3 shouldn't there be a triangular design within?
Some people say the front of the chest piece may not necessarily be his arc reactor, as the arc reactor may lie underneath, but then that wouldn't make sense to have the mark 43 with a triangular design in the chest.
Was this ever fully explained?

He no longer requires the arc tech to be in his chest powering an electro magnet. That's why he made it. So he didn't need to tote around a car battery. In doing so he figured out it had a lot of power. Which he opted to use to power his escape craft from the cave prison. He choose to go with the "man in a suit" design due to its simplicity.
So all of the suits have arc reactors powering them. Even after he got the one that was in his chest out they all require one. They gotta have power. The different arc designs are just a design choice. It's not as complicated as your making out to be.
He needed the arc in iron man 1 and two to stop the shrapnel. In avengers 1 as well. In iron man 3 he needed it till the end. (Covers marks 1-42) he removed the shrapnel and no longer needed the arc in his body. But the suits still need power. So Mk 43 and on still require arc for power. The look of the reactor is irrelavent. It's just a design choice.

Actually, Motu, I don't think the shape is irrelevant. Follow my logic. Tony was being poisoned by his original design ARC reactor. He was being killed by the Palladium. In Iron Man 2, when he rediscovered the element Vibranium through his father's papers, he designed the new Vibranium core which was in the shape of a triangle. Since this is the current design, it makes sense to me that while the ARC reactor is no longer in his chest but in each suit, since no further improvement has been made, all suits have a tringular ARC reactor. The opening in the suit is round with a triangular core, though. I think the triangular shape of the Mark VI chest piece was a one off.

Don't forget Rhodey 'stole' the Mark 2 in IM2 without an arc reactor in his chest. He even took it out of the suit and put it in his pocket to hide it from Hammer. Safe to say that only the Mark 1 was powered by the chest arc and all other suits had their own power source.

Originally the Mk II was powered by Tony's chest ARC reactor. As was the III and IV. Not sure about the V. That one was different. The VII may have had an alternate power source for basic function including basic propulsion and transformation. The heavy stuff was done by the ARC reactor in Tony. I think that Tony retrofit the Hall of Armor suits with ARC reactors. I believe it was always Tony's intention to armor Rhodey. Why else would he have unrestricted access to the suits in IM2? With J.A.R.V.I.S. uploaded into the suits, and as Black Widow pointed out, Tony's multiple redundant security protocols, there's no way Rhodey could just, "steal" the Mk II. While Tony would never say it, he intended for Rhodey to use the suit, eventually.

Thats about his chest arc though. And that one version. Doesn't mean he couldn't then create it in a circle or square or use the old materials ect. He has to have created lots of them. Iron legion in Aou, hulkbuster has a bunch, the mk43, mk45 ect. So given he has to make new ones there's no rule that says they have to be a certain look. It's just whatever the person in charge of the film wants and there's no hard marvel studios rule saying they have to look one way or another

Interesting topic. It would make sense that all Arc Reactors after the VI would be triangle, but sadly I think this is too minor of a detail for filmmakers to pay any real close attention to.

I don't think they all need to be triangle. Part of the original question was about the shape of the hole in the suit where the RT is....which has no real purpose but looks. And if the updated arc is or was super rare and only in stark then the ones in the other 46 suits would be something else.
All of the HPP suits where not on some back up power. They flew from SoCal to south Florida. They fought. Using repulsors. Ect. That's 35ish suits each with at least one arc.
