Hot Toys - MMS196 - The Avengers: Battle Damaged Mark VII (Movie Promo Edition)

[hokietwo]

Hokie, by every armor, do you mean mark 1 -vi or mark I-vi ,with both gray marks, and both special edition mark iiis and promo mark vi?


Ill be honest, ill probally never open mine. My gantry with mk iv has been sealed for four months now

I have every armor. Doubles of many as well.

I agree, Cap got down and dirty with the Chitauri footsoldiers at street level more than any of them and he'll look great perched on top of that.

Cap'll look great on it. Widow would too. The base will probably part out at close to $100 but if I could find it for cheap I wouldn't mind having a couple.

So with address checks taking place, is there a chance some waitlists could already be converting soon?

Box porn. Woot!

Sorry this is a old photo, I picked up the silly thing in February it's not in this pic (No space on the bed, ha!). I love me some Iron Man.
(Sorry the wife's Hello Kitty obsession is poking through. LOL!)

This BD Mark VII piece is a very interesting figure in the Iron Man completionist space.

This figure to me in the next year will be right there with the Silly Thing Mark III figure combining the terms of want, scarcity and favorite looking armor. I look at many new collectors coming into the hobby that started collecting from the Avengers line last year with the Mark VI, and the old collectors from the first pieces in 2008/2009.

I think Gen 1 and Gen 2, (if I were to label each group) will both value this piece as a centerpiece in their collections and make the secondary market for this figure skyrocket given the assumed low production.

The Gen 2 collectors will have serveral pieces from the Avengers and Iron Man 3 movies to display, but there is something special about this piece with the Battle Damaged look that raises this to the top if it were on the shelf. Gen 1 completionists obviously have incentive to get this and some I have seen and read on here may be bowing out of the lines all to gether with this plastic Mark VII as their last(Both BD and non BD) with no wants for the die cast series.

If these low production numbers hold you could see this thing going for $1,000+ USD in the coming year. Given the Mark VI promo pricing at $600-$700 at a 3,000 piece run. As a owner of every armor I feel this is the centerpiece in mine.

How do others feel about this piece in their IM collection?

I guess I'm a Gen 2 collector since I started early last year and now have about a dozen pieces.

However, I'm not an IM completist but an Avengers completist instead. Looking very forward to this piece since I find it unique and will be very eye catching while on display.

I would have gotten back and get the armors I was missing...but then I thought being an Iron Man completist will be the worst mistake of my life, and now I am glad I didn't

Yeah, I had a spare Mech Test Tony, I sold it to get another Monger and the Milk War Machine.

Just noticed ebay took down some - but not all - of the preorders.

Just noticed that the BD Mk7 doesn't include the top air flaps in the back in the pics. May be it is screen accurate, but I feel like we're getting less of a figure at a higher price.

It is, but wait 6 months and look at the value of this figure at $1,000 bucks and it will make you feel better about it.

Im green with rage....lol

Very impressive collection. I ordered a second monger from the disneystore when they had 25% off all items, but my order was cancelled. The monger to me is the centerpiece followed by the tumbler(s) in my collection

I got cancelled as well. That would have been a coo had we got that from Disney!

The top flaps are from the extra rocket pack that drops off in space.

I wish the back had more damage. Overall I love this figure.

Yes, looks bit too clean, he never got attacked from behind?! lol. the figure still looks great tough, great pics too.
