Look cool - don't need it - will be overpriced (except to Justin's Collection).

They probably looked at the poor sales of the last holographic Iron Man and though "Ah, they want it to be diecast and not really holographic at all!"

Sound logic if you are Hot Toys, right there

I for one like this new minty fresh iron dude.

Is there a way to order this without being at the Con?

 

[MKnight]

Thankfully they just repainted the figure. I'd be super pissed off if they fixed the shoulders and thigh gap. I wouldn't put anything past Hot Toys at this point.

You should be able to order this directly from Sideshow's site.

 

[tumbler_s]

anyone from outside US managed to order this from sideshow? will it work this round?

Should have been named Repaint Edition. What's the point of this?

 

[Blue Liquid]

Repaints have been a thing forever. While not everyone's cup 'o tea, there is a genuine market for 'variants', even if it's nothing more than a repaint. Does anyone remember the variant Hasbro 12" Snowtrooper with the two painted lines on the boots? They went for a comparable fortune, and it was nothing more than an unintentional repaint. So whether intentional or otherwise, there has and always will be a market for variants, even if it's nothing more than a fresh coat of paint.

Listerine Man? no thanks, hard pass

It’s more Wintergreen Altoids Man to me personally.

They had to do something with all the unsold non battle damaged Mk 85 figures.

They do a lot of Iron Man repaints so naming it Repaint Edition would get confusing even if that’s what it is. But honestly this is a weird repaint as far as repaints go.

I sort of would’ve understood if they went with a stealth version. That might’ve looked cool. A faux holographic figure is just kind of dumb.

They're definitely not designed to appease 100% of collectors. I fall into the camp of enjoying the repaints. Gives a unique look. Its why I have the Hot Toys Stormtrooper in Gold and Porcelain Pattern. Wild and absolutely not canon, but neat looking nonetheless.
