1/6 Hot Toys Speculation Thread - Avengers 4

[The Buffinator]

The War Machine suit in the Super Bowl teaser is new and matches the leaked photos of a Mk 5 suit from before, albeit a little slimmer.

Could be a multitude of explanations as to why he has it. Could’ve been in storage ready to be deployed like the Iron Spider suit. Could’ve been a prototype. Maybe Tony built some emergency contingency program to keep building Rhodey suits in case something happens to him. Maybe there’s an automated War Machine printer.

Tony likes to be prepared.

Those are plausible theories (well, not the automated printer - lol), but IMO Tony would have kept Rhodey in the loop regarding any armor upgrades he was doing for him and given that, I still think Rhodey would have used the best of the bunch for the IW battle in Wakanda. They were fighting to save half the life in the universe, so you don't leave your big guns at home. So I'm thinking in Endgame either Tony gets back to Earth and upgrades him or there's a time travel angle involved.

Definitely the auto printer. Lets not forget Iron Legion and the repair bots for the sentries. Really easy for Friday to come up with designs, run through simulations then manufacture it.

Honestly, neither of those things seem like a likely scenario for the new armor. In fact they probably wont mention where it came from and he'll probably just have it from the get go. But like he said, it being in storage/untested prototype makes the most sense. And he clearly was acquainted with the mk4 by the time of the wakanda battle. And he knew all its firepower capabilities.. It would make more sense to take that. And seeing as how thanos mashed it up bad in the final fight, it would then make sense for him to go with whats waiting. And we know friday is smart enough to help with designs amd finishing touches. Hell rhodey probably told her "hey my armor is done for, mind help making me a new one". She could provide schematics to anyone to help build it really. Unless tony makes it earth in the first 30 minutes and immediately begins designing rhodey a new suit. While possible, just doesnt seem like a story beat they will bother to tackle. Im still with the notion he will just walk out wearing it for battle with no explanation lol

Yeah, I forgot about Friday being an A.I. that would have pretty much all of Tony’s designs & accumulated knowledge with respect to the suits. Makes sense that she’ll make the next WM iteration. That also simplifies things from a story perspective. I plead guilty to overthinking this one. Lol

Hasbro toys for endgame are reportedly showing up on ebay... Ronin is new but the war machine is a slightly recolored mark 4 from IW.

Looks like a case of just reusing promo art. People like us will notice in a heartbeat haha. Lazy lazy.

I don't understand the design for iron man there. Hopefully that's just a toy thing, looks fugly

Agree. But maybe KOs or fakes like the recent IW "Lego (look-alike) Leaks".

It's rumored to be a "quantum suit". There've been leaks showing everyone wearing it.

Figure I've got a lineup of great figs - IM 46, Roadworn Thor, lots of Cap, Bucky, BW, SW, DS #1...

Everything else now is just dessert, unless they really did re-do an Avengers Cap e.g. really classic look. Cap, Bucky, Falcon, Natasha, and Wanda for me are givens - maybe Loki too depending on who shows up in EG.

Was reading the IW Marvel art book and regretting Falcon w. 3 drones wasn't released. Have the great Iron Studios 1/10, but remember that first shot of Falcon w. wings in TWS. Can only imagine what upgrades of wings might look like.

 

[MyenShi]

That is the tricky part about collecting Marvel. There are so many great versions of characters that it's either hard to choose between them, or hard to get them all. Always best to focus on the figures you like the most.

I don't know if Hot Toys will do this particular uniform for all the characters, but I think it's a safe bet for another Iron Man variation. Possibly red/white Cap and Thor as well. Gotta say I'm not 100% sold on the look for everyone, but I think it'll have relatively limited use in very specific scenes/moments in the film.

I think we're more likely to see figures of the whole team solely in their new "classic" appearance like from the Orville leak.

I understand it's the quantum suit, but realistically no reason for the color scheme to look like that for iron man. Why keep a red/yellow helmet on that suit?

Those designs are terrible ...

I love the MCU but design-wise their stuff keeps getting busier and more useless, easily dated and schlocky for my taste. I feel like a little restraint would go a long way, but my opinion is only that and seems to be in the minority, since the stuff keeps selling.

The pinnacle of Iron Man design for me is the Mark IV, so clearly I'm just a curmudgeon.

(I did like the 46 and 47, but they can't beat my love for the older, Adi Granov based/inspired armours).

Is anyone else leaving Infinity War figures alone and waiting for End Game? I was planning on getting Dr. Strange, Cap and Thor. I think Thor will be the same for End Game with improvements, sort of stuck in a rock and a hard place with Dr Strange and Cap, though. I really like this version of Cap but he was just barely in it and I'm waiting to see with time travel which new versions will be released and I love the battle representation with Dr. Strange and his fight with Thanos, but worried these might all sell everywhere before new figures start turning up for End Game.

 

[DasMuse]

I can't believe i'm saying this but the "quantum suits" are starting to grow on me.

 

[Jim Morrison]

I rather liked the look of Ant-Man in the Quantum suit (from the concept art posted earlier in the thread).

From the early images, Thor looks exactly the same, so the improvements/extra accessories better be awesome to justify the price hike that is sure to come.
