I went ahead and jumped on the waitlist, with the small hope that there will be some left over after the con and I can get my hands on one for a fair price.

Did the same days ago when they finally did a waitlist option.

To anyone on the waitlist, PLEASE post if you get a conversion!

I think your odds are good there will be some left over from SDCC. I don't see this as a figure people will line up for unless they are trying to complete the HPP or trying to resell right away.

If you guys don't get one, let me know. I will hopefully be picking one up next week and would be willing to let him go if we can work out a price.

Claimed. But will do.

Got on the WL very early but I'll still be looking for one.

 

[blinguskahn]

Can't wait for this to arrive. 9 more to go until the HPP is complete.

Are you sure only 9 HPP armors are left, I thought it was 15.

Mk. VIII
Mk. X
Mk. XI
Mk. XII
Mk. XIII
Mk. XIV
Mk. XVI Nightclub
Mk. XVIII Casanova
Mk. XIX Tiger
Mk. XXVIII Jack (teased)
Mk. XXIX Fiddler
Mk. XXXI Piston
Mk. XXXII Romeo
Mk. XXXIV Southpaw
Mk. XXXVII Hammerhead

That's 15 yet to be officially announced right?

You're correct, I just don't count Mark 8 - 14 part of the HPP. So little significance. I don't see them important enough to warrant a figure release.

Yeah I get your point but they are technically part of the HPP line. Also, they're just "kitbashed" parts from other armors, which means once HT makes the mold, they could release them.

Howard has stated in several interviews the goal is to release all 42 Armors. The 8-14 will be made sometime.

Yeah I read that he stated that too. Once Hammerhead is made, they'll have the molds to do the rest of them except for Nightclub which, as I'm sure you know, is the only completely unique armor left. I have a feeling if they release Nightclub, there will be several repaints. Although, since it's an armor that can change colors, I'd argue that multiple versions are necessary. I'd think at least 2 "should" be made: one that resembles the look of Nightclub in the IM Manual and the other with a more classic IM red, gold and silver. Still, I bet they'll do a retro version sometime as well with some chrome and translucent parts.

Speaking of, it is so strange that HT pumps out all these repaints that get plenty of criticism when they could do translucent figures which many collectors seem to want to buy.

All but 10, 13, and 14 are straight repaints, if they release one they'll release the other, because easy $. And 13 and 14 are awesome looking, I could leave or take 10

Mk8=Piston, Mk9=Python, Mk11=Jack, Mk12=Disco

Mk10 is made of Mk7, Hammerhead, Heartbreaker, Snapper parts

Mk13 is made of Mk7, Centurion, Shotgun, WM2 parts

Mk14 is made Striker, Centurion, Mk7, Heartbreaker, Shotgun parts

What would be really cool, is if they were to somehow be able release 1 Nightclub, with several helmets and interchangeable armor panels. THAT would be worth paying extra for. As opposed to 2 or 3 complete figures of different versions of Nightclub

Nightclub should get Chromillusion color changing paint. Problem solved.

Anyone here on WL for this and get a conversion in the last week?

Looks like it. Still waiting on my shipping confirmation.

Freaking flippers. I need this suit. I'm not that big a fan of the colors but the Shotgun armor has some of the best articulation on any plastic HT IM.

I get charged Wednesday, can't wait...I need this bad boy in hand quick, I love the paint app.

Lucky! Yeah the paint isn't terrible but just think Shotgun pulls it off better.
