IM3 suits - Everything we know so far...

[ThatIsTooReal]

So he'll be released in 2015?

But in all seriousness I see him getting the attention Loki did. Similar outfit and all.

 

[DrQ2]

Aha, so he has some sort of underground hall of armor, that explains why the old one can get blown to bits.

Why do I have a feeling we're going to end up loving, and owning, that Hulkbuster?

Sorry I don't see the Hulkbuster being put out. Really it is going to be a 2 hour movie. How many Armors can they really have?

 

[Viking Spawn]

Count me in on the purchase of the hulkbuster. In those blurry 3 seconds or less I was sold.

Same here. And I think it will be made. I have a hunch it'll be involved in a climatic moment where fans will say that armor stole the show like the Hulk did in the Avengers. So here comes another $500 17 " figure like the Monger. Its too juicy for HT to pass on!

I wish it looked like that..

We got the Hunchback Frogger version.

Agreed.

 

[Invictus Sol]

I would've been down for a more classic Hulk Buster but think that design's gonna save me ~$500.00. Just looks kinda derpy to me and doesn't have the intended imposing effect like Iron Monger does. Pretty easy design to get right and my first impression is they blew it. Will see if the movie changes my mind.

Could anyone see if War Machine was in his classic grey paintjob when he was flying with Tony and the other armors? Or if he was in his Iron Patriot getup. Still pissed about that

He was in his original grey one.

Here's a thought - what if that's not the Hulkbuster armor?

1. Do we really know that 100% for sure that is what its called?

2. Why would Stark build an armor called Hulkbuster if Hulk isn't even in the movie?

I agree that armor doesn't look nearly as cool as the classic. Hard to believe they'd blow it on such a fan favorite suit of armor.

The bottom middle of the second pic looks like the Destroyer-based armor. With that said, this information bears posting.

Spoiler

MARK XI - STEALTH ARMOR v.01
• A derivation of the MARK VI armor, TONY STARK configured it to have built-in stealth capabilities, which allow him to infiltrate the TEN RINGS' hideouts unnoticed.
• Slightly modified Mk.VI, with a dark blue color palette. Red eyes and Arc Reactor.

MARK XXII - LAYERED PLATING ARMOR v.01
• Experimenting with various forms of armor formation, TONY STARK designs this armor with the concept of retractable layers. This technology allows this armor to fold into a more compact form, making it more portable than the MARK V armor.
• Classic/Spandex Armor, v.01 has the horned face, v.02 has the rounded face with a different color palette

MARK XV - STORED KINETIC INTEGRATED NETWORK (S.K.I.N) ARMOR
• Attempting to create a new form of malleable liquid metal that could be configured into other shapes, TONY STARK creates the S.K.I.N ARMOR. Unfortunately, the alloy compound proved to be unstable, resulting in TONY STARK putting the project on hold.
• Looks like the comic SKIN Armor, but slimmer and more segmented. Huge shoulder armor.

MARK XVIII - SPECIALISED AQUATIC ARMOR v.01
• Designed with the sole purpose of undersea exploration in mind, TONY STARK builds the SPECIALISED AQUATIC ARMOR. Able to withstand greater pressures than his standard armors, IRON MAN travels deep into the sea to recover rubble from MANDARIN's attack.

MARK XL - ASGARDIAN DESTROYER ARMOR
• Taking into account that Earth might face future threats from the ASGARDIANS, TONY STARK set about designing an armor specially to take down any invading ASGARDIANS. Using the DESTROYER's blueprints stolen from S.H.I.E.L.D's HELICARRIER, STARK creates the ASGARDIAN DESTROYER ARMOR
• A mecha version of the Destroyer seen in Thor. Incomplete prototype.



MARK XXXVI - HEAVY DUTY BRUTE ARMOR v.02
• Designed for heavy duty tasks that his standard armors cannot handle, TONY STARK creates the HEAVY DUTY BRUTE ARMOR with sheer strength in mind. Equipped with state of the art hydraulic systems powered by a modified ARC REACTOR, this armor enables IRON
• A.K.A the Hulkbuster Armor. Not explicitly termed as the Hulkbuster though, since that's not the intended purpose. It's prototype is the Mk. XXII / v.01, and is smaller and more humanoid.MAN to take on the strongest enemies.

MARK XLII - X01 - PARTICLE RADIATION CANNON ATTACHMENT
• Unable to deal with FIREPOWER's fiery attacks, TONY STARK designs the PARTICLE RADIATION CANNON to absorb and channel TAGGERT's heat against him

MARK XLII-R - RAPID EVACUATION SITUATION CONTROL UNILATERAL ENFORCER (R.E.S.C.U.E)

• Feminine version of the Mk.XLII. Has firefighting functions.

MARK XLV - HYPERVELOCITY AUTONOMOUS PERSONNEL PROTECTOR γ (H.A.P.P.γ) ARMOR
• Mourning his dear friend HAPPY HOGAN's death, TONY STARK creates this armor in the image of his deceased friend. Equipped with its on A.I. programmed after HAPPY's neuro patterns, H.A.P.P.γ assists IRON MAN in his battles.
• Looks like a hybrid of the comic Telepresence Armor, and the Mk.VII. Gets thrashed by Coldblood.

MARK XLVIII - HEART BREAKER v.01x
• Created using various parts and components from his damaged IRON ARMY suits, TONY STARK assembles a unique armor with high offensive capability. Armed with a larger ARC REACTOR with higher energy output, IRON MAN is ready to take on his most dangerous foe: THE MANDARIN.

Full size


MARK XLVIIIs - SPACE ARMOR v.01
• After experiencing the CHITAURI attack in THE AVENGERS, TONY STARK has been working on a suit capable of space travel. Crafted using a unique new metal alloy that absorbs his ARC REACTOR energy signature, IRON MAN travels into the far reaches of space to find the source of a coded SOS he receives.
• White/black/gold armor, which has the concept art leaked recently

MARK XLIX - HEART BREAKER v.02
• Having his armor badly damaged in his battle with the MANDARIN, TONY STARK modifies and upgrades his HEART BREAKER ARMOR into its second version. Equipped with more ARC REACTORS to increase its output and offensive capability, this is the ULTIMATE IRON MAN.

MARK L - EXTREMIS ARMOR

Can't deny that it's taken after the Hulkbuster though. If it is or isn't, the design is still a bit wonky.

That would make a lot more sense - a precursor to The Hulkbuster suit. But not actually THE Hulkbuster suit.

 

[Doctor Detroit]

FB version of the trailer. And holy hell at the last scenes! Media blackout starts now...

https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=340151592752101

Thanks for posting the trailer Furyan, the film looks brilliant even blurry, just wondering if even HT will make ALL those armours?

 

[EFFalcon]

knowing HT.. it'll take 3 years for them to do all the armours.
so my wallet will only get a floggin every 2 months

unless they PPS it all.. in which case i'll flip HT the bird... then open my wallet

 

[darthconlan]

I will not touch the PPS. Some people will love them but they just won't fit my collection. I hope Hot Toys don't forget that their main focus should be the MMS. Especially after all the money people have spent in the past on collectibles. I don't mind if they spread it out over the next 5 years to be honest. At least we will be able to buy them

this is my hope too.

I agree as well. I also do not want them to start rushing stuff. I always have a fear that if Hot Toys gets too Hot, no pun intended, they may start letting quality slip.

I am not into the PPS figures either. It is full on DX or MMS or nothing.

 

[cofphoto]

I'm guessing the whole point of PPS is because there are going to be SO many IM armors, they knew there was no way they could keep up. So probably MMS of 42 / IP / Mandarin / maybe an updated War Machine, and all of the main secondary armors that get decent play time in the movie will be PPS.

 

[darthconlan]

I think all secondary armours over time will also get MMS versions. I'm still thinking we will get a mark III v.2 also.
To me the PPS is another market for them and also a quicker way to get an item out. Like I said before, it will appeal to some, I just prefer the MMS figures more.
Overall I think they will give us many figures over time in both formats which is ok with me. It's what makes them money and with that it helps us get other more obscure figures in the future.

 

[cofphoto]

I think a new line is awesome.....as long as the MMS line doesn't suffer because of it.
