Can you imagine a Hot Toys Iron Monger? It would be what, at least 16 inches high?

 

[LipSmack]

I know
it was one thing i was realli hoping would be shown in san diego, but maybe they're just waiting till the batmobiles are sold out, like they can only have so many big pieces for sale at a time.

Can you imagine a Hot Toys Iron Monger? It would be what, at least 16 inches high?

Bigger. Which is one of the reasons they said no.

Stan Winston Studios built the massive practical suit, which included a clamshell center hatch. “The Iron Monger suit is 10 feet tall and weighs approximately 800 pounds,” says Shane Mahan. “We developed and built it during the course of filming and used it to help bridge the character into the digital world of ILM and John Nelson. A gimbal was also built, which allowed us to push it and mimic the actions of the big torso walking.”

10' is 120" so in 1:6 it'd be 20" tall. As tall as The Hulk. The difference is where Norton's Hulk is slim but tall, Iron Monger is amazingly wide. The head alone is 14 inches tall, 11.5 inches wide, and 13 inches deep. Looking at proportions in 1:6 it'd be 2.3" tall, 1.92" wide and 2.17" deep. That's a big ^^^^ing head. We are talking about twice the size of Iron Man's head in height and twice in width and almost three times in depth. His body was three times wider than Iron Man and three times deeper, same with the arms. The trouble is that Iron Monger is solid and not built really for someone to operate. According to SWS folks and reports from Iron Man sets it took five people just to operate the top portion. Look at the thigh joints, they are at a strange angle where a human leg couldn't possibly fit. Which means it wouldn't fit over an exoskeleton or fit a truetype it'd just be mostly a solid piece. Its a serious undertaking cost wise.

Nope. HT said Iron Monger isn't going to happen because of his size, the cost of research and development and the trouble with keeping the cost to the customer low enough to sell. They've been quoted at least three times in various interviews.

Not really, its different than any of the Marks from the films, its a modified Extremis suit but without the Arc Reactor capabilities obviously because Norman doesn't need or utilize it.

Even the conceptual done right after Civil War wouldn't look right.

I've seen a lot of customs that don't look quite right:

The first one is the best and its an Extremis variation and second suit is a film variation and its the worst of the bunch. Any HT customizing would look fairly ridiculous.

With the kind of details they've managed on the Mark I, they could charge $500 for an Iron Monger with the same level of quality and I would buy it without even blinking. Too bad it won't happen.

 

[Jaycepticon]

Yeah, something about those toys just doesn't capture Iron Patriot pretty well. This might be the best custom I've seen and I could totally see hot toys looking this good, even better.

So would I, without blinking an eye but we might be in the minority.

I could see a Hot Toys Extremis customized into this beautifully as the custom above is a Marvel Select Extremis customized. I still say that a Mark anything from Hot Toys' Iron Man movie line would look ridiculous as redeco'd into an Iron Patriot.

exactly

 

[LipSmack]

Yeah the mk2/3 would, but what about the mk4? it might look good in that paint scheme, the only problem would be the arc reactor, but personlly i wouldnt mind it being there.

I think we will get two versions of Iron Man/Tony, possibly two of Whiplash, War Machine (with Cheadle headsculpt, no additional clothing for a Rhodes figure) and Black Widow (just her in costume no Natasha outfit)

 

[Marvel-ous]

Pardon my ignorance but how does the Iron Patriot power his suit exactly?

2 AA batteries believe it or not.

Jesus, that's unbelievable! I never would've thought...

Hey! A fellow Canadian!

Oh, oh! And if you hadn't specified what LipSmack means in your signature, I would've figured it out.

Hey, hows it going.
Sarcasm aside i actually would like to know how its powered, someone out there should know

Yes, I'm very curious myself. I just asked Jon Favreau on the phone and he didn't know himself so we're all curious here. Anyone?

 

[Marvel-ous]

Made a quick search and found that it's an armor worn by Norman Osborne. He's leading a New group of Avengers with Venom posing as Spiderman, Bullseye posing as Hawkeye, Nohvarr as Cap Marvel, Daken as Wolverine, etc., but I've found nothing about powering the suit.

I'll add one more to that, I bet we get a battle damaged mark 3. the iron man line can expand as far as the predator line. who knows how many iron man figures hot toys will end up making, they've already done 4 right? hot toys is going to milk this line just like they have been with the predator line, hell, even the dark knight. the only thing is, I think iron man is more valid a line to milk then something like the dark knight.

That would be awesome.
