Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece 1/6 Mandarin Figure

[WindWhisperBomb]

Seems to me Marvel really screwed over some of their licensees with the twist. Both HT and Lego fell for it. Hasbro seems to have avoided it though.

Not sure what that article is talking about. He's not in the Iron Monger BAF line - Mark 42, Iron Patriot, and Ultron are that last three in that line. Wouldn't surprise me if that never gets released now

The second half of that line was supposed to be all Movie figures so they have ditched him and put Ultron in his place.

I can only assume the true extent of the story was kept away from toy producers to stop spoilers. They would only have been given promotional material a short synopsis/biograph of the character.

 

[WindWhisperBomb]

Yeah, I'm thinking it will be a SDCC exclusive.

Can't chuckles buy his own?

Reminds me of this joke.

Friend 1: remember when you used to blow bubbles

Friend 2: yeah. Why?

Friend 1: bubbles said to say, Hi.

Friend 2: .

Yeah there was a whole bait a switch thing with Kingsley in the trailers. Half of his lines from those weren't even in the film. And nearly all of his screen time in character was in those trailers or talk show clips.

I have no idea where Lego got their Ultimate Showdown Mandarin and Iron Man set from

I noticed half his dialog was missing when I realised all he does was about the president Ellis

There is no reason not to make the figure, I want it like many others. Those are huge enterprises not kids I don't think anyone was tricked, HT stuff is different but the others they just have to make toys, its simple

These films are made for the masses so they can make as much money as possible. They aren't concerned with sticking to the comics literally if it can't translate to a movie that the masses will go see. I think they thought if they stuck to the Madarin story from the comics then it would have affected the movie's box office prospects. I think they wrre right and made the right choice.

I do agree that the trailers were a bit misleading but in the end the move did have a great villain imo..

Thats the strange case of Iron Man 3, comics psychos don't like it that much, the rest of us love it or like it at least

Wasn't Hasbro also bought out by Disney? If so, make sense to have had an inside scope

Indeed. I think it will bear out that this movie will be one the great successes in the Marvel movie wheel house.

I agree that it doesn't have to be exactly like the comics. The Mandarin that we originally thought existed in the film universe was far from the comic version, but it was still an interesting and formidable interpretation of Iron Man's arch enemy. Degrading him into a buffoonish decoy wasn't the best move in my personal opinion.

Totally, and its better than Avengers imho, It won't be easy for Marvel to make a better movie

I really enjoyed seeing the film today, but all I can say about the whole 1/6 Mandarin figure is that yeah, I'll definitely buy one

Spoiler

if and only if we get an Aldrich Killian figure that comes with both normal and extremis head/limbs/chest.

 

[AARON691983]

Better than AVENGERS???? Why are you smoking or injecting??!!

Him and Pepper are my most wanted IM3 figures, and the lack of info is really killing me... I hope HT is making the prototypes at least

Yeah its almost sad how the figures I want most after seeing the film are Mech Test 2.0 Tony, Aldrich, and Pepper. Most of the suits were just "meh" to me.

Extremis juice.

Yeah thats exactly how I feel... but I am getting 10 suits, but I'm far more intrested in the main characters

Extremis juice.

I think it was a genius move because no one saw it coming. What better way for a business man who is hell bent in creating an army of super humans to create a terrorist ruse to distract the world while he goes about implementing his plan in secret? I loved it.
