Hot Toys- Product release announcement!

[Minimodel]

Boy are they dragging their feet on that Iron Monger. Hasn't it been like 2 years since the specs were released?

It s been the most speculative and longest gestation in Hot Toys history.Iron Man was revealed in the Summer of 2008,quickly followed by Marks 2 and 1 respectively,the latter revealed in September.Of course,everyone naturally assumed that Ironmonger would be right behind(one online store even going so far as to announce his pre-order for November) and then News went dead for a long time.Howard announced he wanted to make it but it was a job doing it to a price-point and fitting it into a schedule which was now featuring Iron Man 2,and in the interim a company called Bomber Toys showed a 1/6 Monger,and promptly vanished.Finally,the earliest prototype was shown at an Expo in December 2010 before Monger finally surfaced at Comic-Con last year with full specs released in September 2011.

About the only thing longer that has been gestating is the Aliens Queen. I remember Howard said it was a possibility back in '06 or '07.

He's big, but he's also way too small. This figure should be much bigger, unless Jeff Bridges had his legs amputated before getting in to Iron Monger. I seem to recall Iron Monger being more of a vehicle than a suit.

Yeah I actually thought it looked rather small considering the behometh I remembered from the film.

I think fans should count themselves lucky they are even getting Monger.

Too true, I never thought it would happen!

He sits in there indian style.

Yeah, that's my take on it as well. something like the Zentradi battle pods from robotech.

Granted, the battle pods are ALOT bigger, but something similar.

Beat me to it.

That is Stane's Lil' Monger.

Damn right. Why shouldn't Monger be smaller and Hulk too big? I mean, this is HT we're talking about. They have a track record to maintain.

Is it me or does Luke appear to have rooted hair? I mean it looks lifelike.

Just you.

Not rooted, but it does catch the light fantastically, looks amazing in that pic, it was one of the first things I noticed when I opened up the pic.

Here is a good size comparison...too short=too bad

 

[a-dev]

And when the Iron Monger 2.0 comes out it'll be even shorter again

Are all HT boxes monochromatic now?

On the Luke box, you can see the lights of that huge shaft that Luke and Vader were fighting in. I like it!

 

[Sachiel]

Yeah. It's more noticeable if you zoom in on the picture.
