Hot Toys The Avengers: 1/6th Scale Iron Man Mark VII (Stealth Mode Version)

[De@df00l]

So I finally got around to in boxing this and I have the stand issue. I've read a few pages back, but my problem is the hole in the stand is too big for the pole. Anyone have this problem and solutions to this issue? I don't think removing the rubber from the pole will help as the hole in the stand is too big... smh

So that's what I thought at first - that the hole was too big...but I think the real issue is that the threads from the pole cannot reach all the way down to the very bottom where the nut is. That's what my issue has been anyway.

If anybody has figured out a solution I would love to see some instructions!

I had the stand problem when I unboxed last night...I trimmed off the excess rubber and the pole screwed right in. I guess I got lucky...it is a beautiful figure, I love it. One question though...do the legs pop down like the Silver Centurion? My legs are REALLY tight and I was afraid to break it...I was wondering if they did lower because right now the legs are difficult to pose.

I called SS about my stand issue. They emailed me saying they'd send a replacement pole... A few days later, I got another email saying to try this first:

Yeah, they sent me the same instructions to me and they were not helpful whatsoever.

What I did to make it work was cut the hole in the paper cover wider. First, when I pulled off the paper completely, I found that the pole actually screwed in... Then, I put the paper back on and twisted over and over to no avail... In doing that, I'd inadvertently made some "track marks" in the paper. I decided to use a box cutter to carve out the paper along the marks. After doing that, and twisting with a lot of pressure from both ends, it finally caught the threads.

Smart move...maybe that will help some of the others having this issue. Anyone have an answer on the figures legs? I'm afraid they do not drop down like my Silver Centurion, I wanted an answer before I tried to pull them down again. I'm a bit scared to break my new stealth.

Lol that's awesome! I had a proper look at mine. The magnets are fine but the face plate does come off a bit too easily. The stand also had to be trimmed.

I managed to fix my stand by cutting away enough of the rubber.

That seems to be the common fix for the issue

Sad most of the what is talked about this beautiful figure is of the stupid stand...they should just have included a regular one.

@YP...Where did you get the clear stands?

If they gave us the included shirt like Asia maybe we would care less.

The shirt was a store exclusive...had nothing to do with the regular release.

Thank you so much! I never would have imagined that the tiny thickness of the paper could be what's preventing the threads from catching, but I did exactly what you said and now it screws in just fine. You saved me a lot of frustration!

Now I just need to find a super tiny screwdriver so I can put the batteries in those compartments.

I'd love to know where to get those clear stands!
