Hot Toys - MMS215 - Iron Man 3 - IGOR (MARK XXXVIII) - Official Specs & Pics

[patrix1]

Now that the thread has died down a little I'm gonna re-post a question I asked way back around page 60.

Has Anyone ordered from ShopAFX.com before?
How fast do they get their shipments after SSC starts shipping?

https://www.shopafx.com/irmanigmaxxm.html

They are based out of Hawaii. I pre ordered from them. My total with shipping was 491.35.


Iron Man Igor Mark 902129 1 469.19

Series Collectible Figure
by Hot Toys
Subtotal 469.19
Shipping 22.16
Tax 0.00
Total 491.35



FOUND INFO FROM THEIR SITE:
You guys are located in Hawaii? How long does it take for you to ship stuff from there?
Actually we have 2 shipping centers, with the main one located in Los Angeles, California, and a smaller one located in Honolulu, Hawaii. Most of the orders ship from Los Angeles, California.

If they ship from California, maybe they are drop shipped directly from SSC, therefore it would ship in the Brown shipper.

Please note if you are canceling an order paid with PayPal, then there will be a 10% non refundable deposit.

Question for anyone who has ordered from them in the past:
How is the packing of their items?
Do they ship in the brown shipper, or do they double box like BBTS does.

Thanks

If I choose USPS Priority Mail shipping it will be

Subtotal 469.19
Shipping 15.65
Tax 0.00
Total 484.84

I think I will order Igor here with my credit card because if I don't have enough money left after paying for Mark 17, 42, 33, 21, Iron Patriot, War Machine, Iron Man mark VI Legendary Scale Bust, I could cancel it without worry about non-refundable $50 deposit.

Stane fit into Monger, Stark could get into this. If he could make armour remotely connect to him then I think he could make this suit work for him. Maybe he never intended to fit into it, who knows.

Sure it was used as a drone but most suits were in IM3.

To me Igor has a certain mystery to it, why did Stark build it, did he use it at all previously to IM 3, etc?

Well, they presented it as if Stane was in the suit, but that doesn't mean a real man could actually fit in the suit without being curled up into a ball.

Look at the side by side comparison pic of the Stark Figure and the IGOR figure in this thread.
Look at the proportions. Look at the length of each upper arm section of IGOR and stark. Also keep in mind the size of the torso. Stark could NOT get his arms all the way in those arms, and possibly not even into the upper arms past the shoulders, because Stark's arms couldn't bend then.

Look at the length of each leg section of both figures, There is no way Stark could stick his legs in the IGOR legs and still bend the knees to full normal range of motion. IGOR's thighs are too long. He might be able to get 45 degrees at most. He could never get his arms in the arms of IGOR.

Still IGOR is a nice robotic helper for Stark, that looks cool and is useful.
It isn't a suit of armor, though. If it is robotic, there is no need for Stark to get in it only to do heavy lifting, with little range of motion. It is difficult to imagine that Stark would have much interest in it with his daredevil personality. It seems like a boring suit to get into.


By the way, I doubt that such a suit could fly very well, considering it's considerable weight. Also, as a robot, it can be stronger with more powerful motors because Stark isn't in it to take up space. The main function is heavy lifting, ie strength requiring powerful motors, so it doesn't make sense to make it a suit. It makes the most sense to make it a robot.

As an aside, as long as the suits can operate as robots, they can withstand far more Gs than Stark can.

Stark in any of the suits would only compromise the suit's performance, because with Stark in it, he could get knocked out cold or unconscious, but as a drone, it just keeps on going.

iron monger was supposed to have a full size stane figure, which was changed to just the head sculpt. at first the price point was high but justified because people thought they were getting a full size figure too. bait and switch.

Iron Monger had no problem flying until he went too high, Igor may have good ups too

It has to be as able to fly and as fast as the other suits.

Also, found this concept floating around:

 

[mikhailbob]

Hmm. Monger was $479 as opposed to $509 for this. Considering the economy's inflation and the consequent rise in production costs, the hike seems proportionate. He is overpriced though, no doubt about it.

totally agree, and even though monger is more cool in design and model doesnt mean igor is easier to make, i'd say this igor paint job is way more complicated and harder.

yeah i think so, otherwise how can igor get on the place at the same time as the other suit

Igor flys in the videogame.

The motivation for Stark building some of these suits is kind of confusing. You could argue that he could have just made an all-in-one suit to do all these task at once, why separate them. Put the Heartbreaker laser on Igor, give him some claws and make him out of solid gold

Also I would say majority of these suits were not designed for combat. Its too bad we didn't get to see them performing in their element. They could've shown a scene where Red Snapper has to rescue a family from a car crash on the freeway, Igor helping with a landslide during a flood in some other country, Hammerhead trying to cap an underwater oil well or Gemini fixing a satellite in space. Like an actual team helping people around the world


You know, instead of just throwing them all into a blender

There was some idiot posting on the forum here claiming that Igor was too big and heavy to fly.
I suppose he RAN from Malibu to Florida in ten minutes.

That's a good point. Maybe in another movie.
I often find myself wondering what the gimmick will be that makes Stark make new suits for Avengers.

you should read the iron man 3 prequel comic mate! there's some explanation in there, why war machine didnt show up at the battle of new york and why tony stark starts building another suit / army as well

now that "running thing" is trully makes me laugh. even if hes not flying in the scene doesnt mean it cant fly, right? its just a basic logic my friend

I know. And i am pretty sure it was an American who posted it. Really should have known the distance from Malibu to Miami.

so you should read the prequel iron man 3 comics too! everything between avengers and iron man 3 explained there. and also for thor the dark world, the comics has been out for2 months now. theres a prequel comic for avengers and also iron man 2 if im not wrong. the avengers prequel comic is more focused on the shield side handling over hulk, iron man, thor, and captain america case. also theres also the made of gun that phil coulson is holding at the avengers

What's the prequel comic called? I have searched for it but cannot find it.

I believe the title is iron man 3 prelude if im not wrong.

Thanks. I have found it.
Now to read it all.

There is part 1 and part 2 for the comic. And so was for thor. The avenger is 8 if im not wrong. Already forget. But i still has the file on my computer though. I'll see it when im home later. I'll post the cover for each comic so you'll find it easier.

 

[Viking Spawn]

Wow! I too think $510 is expensive. But considering its size, I'm not too surprised since the Monger wasn't much cheaper and released a while ago.

What I'm happy about is the way SS is handling the Flex preorders. I like their payment plan of 8 smaller payments. ($57 for 8! ) Much easier on my wallet! So bravo to SS for doing that!

I just wish they would spread out payments like this for cheaper figures too. Especially if the toy's release is many months out. This way, it would make it easier to have multiple preorders at the same time.

For example, the new Wolverine is released next May but you only get the Flex option of 3 payments of $75. SS could have easily spread the payment plan out more like they did for Igor. Again, if you'd like to have multiple preorders, smaller flex payments make that more feasible and possible.
