Ironman 3 Spoiler/Figures Discussion

[tdk5]

I hate IM3.. but loved Downey, the Mk 42, Guy Pearce and tonys sidekick....everything else was terrible. So bothered by the movie.

I think my biggest peeve is the whole Tennesse part. Just useless filler.

Agreed...that Tennesse part seems to be more fitting for a James Bond or Batman film...really felt out of place to me.

On the bright side, its tomatometer rating is currently 5% better than Iron Man 2's.

Let's just say Iron Man made some of his suit out of some Tungsten composite (with heat protection barrier), it should be able to readily handle temperatures above 3000C and not be melted apart. Sub-orbital, Mk. 39 and Shades, Mk. 23 should be prime candidates.

Besides melting of handcuffs on Tony... for the chain to be melted off, Tony's wrist should have suffered severe burns, heat transfers quickly through metal.

With the extremis effect being illogical (3000C or below than that for non-exploding extremis)... the effects of it being equally illogical is "my beef with the story"

Haven't read a post here yet. Just saw the film...disappointed.

Plus side...I have no desire now to get any of the armors from the film...I predict mandarin to be the next spiderman 3 goblin

i just returned from my first viewing. i loved the film up to Mandarin's attack on Stark Manor then it went awry came back during Air Force 1 sequence then went ***** loco. I can't decide if I like it or not.....

Mandarin why ????

 

[Apone]

Director was trash. Last two films had horrible villains. I hope we keep iron man in the avengers. Great with a team..stand alone not so much. Loved the first film though

Just got back from the movie. Couldn't agree more. This is running into batman territory with how Bane was made into a ***** at the end of TDKR.

I only want the mark 42 and the Tony stark. Just saved a lot of money!

I'd give the movie 7/10. Was more of a comedy to me than a comic book movie.

Just saw the movie man that was such a mixed bag. Too much Tony out of the suit and not being Tony. He goes from being a spy and using gadgets to not knowing how to fire a gun? Just seemed out of character IMO and the movie now knowing what it wanted to be. THe after credit scene was also very disappointing.

I did enjoy the opening of the movie up until tenesse after that it gets really lost with some funny and cool moments.

EDIT:I agree with the above comment it was for sure more comedy then comic movie. After Avengers i was really hoping for more really dead on comic movies

I feel really bad for play imaginative. Those 1/4 scale iron man figures may not see the light of day outside of IP and mark 42. I just cannot see them selling at all. Yikes! $600+ for less than 20 seconds of screen time for so many of those marks. No thank you.

 

[MrCollectible]

Came back from the early screening with the wife.

Overall...a bit on the disappointed side. Better than Iron Man 2 but still doesn't top the first one.

I was under the impression that the main suit of the movie would ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING. My wife even said she likes Igor and Bones the best out of all the suits, they only had 10 seconds of screen time.

Too much comedy was in it as well. Was underplayed overall given the hype the trailer gave off. Not a bad movie but it could have improved in a lot of places.

At least Killian posed more of a threat than the last two movies. Wouldn't be surprised to see him as a figure one way or another.

Till now I have POed HT Mk 42 and Tony Stark. Will be going with Koto's WM 2.0. With the kind of money involved, still undecided about Iron Patriot. In case I want to, pretty sure I'll get a Snapper at retail (shipped ) down the line.

Also, I think a Rhodes figure with his casual outfit would have sold more than the dorky Mandarin. Especially, when they was already making a 'fully realized likeness of Don Cheadle as Iron Patriot in the Iron Man 3 movie'.

 

[bandito]

^Don Cheadle in his Air Force and casual outfit... 2 in one like the first Barney Ross.... and price it as cheap as Agent Coulson.

If only they had eliminated those pointless Tennesse scenes and given more screen time to the suits kicking butt, this movie would've been alot better imo.

 

[Irvy]

I kinda love the mk 42 now. I like the scene where he's fighting as seperate parts are arriving onto his body, just something new I guess. The fact that it's a prototype and is never fully functioning gives it a bit of character I think.

That entire concept makes this movie much better than the others imho, its all about Tony.

And the suits aren't indestructible anymore I loved the Mark XLII since the beginning, after watching the movie I love it even more, Heartbreaker is still my favourite tho

 

[JonWes]

Loved the movie. But I went into more of that in the movie thread. The only figure I had PO'ed so far was Tony Stark. I hadn't planned to get much more than the Mark 42 and MAYBE Iron Patriot. But I definitely want the Mandarin. I don't care what role he ultimately played, he looked cool and he'll look great on the shelf. And I have enough interest in the character in general (from the comics) that I'll want the movie representation of him.

As far as the other armors, I do think I'll get the Heartbreaker. The others I want haven't been teased by HT yet. But the Silver Centurion is a MUST. It looked so much like the comics version, and I love that armor. I also really liked the Shotgun armor and the skeletal looking one, whatever that was called. I also want a Pepper finally, damn it! This movie is the perfect excuse to release her in final battle and business suit clothes.

Oh, and even though I didn't see the space armor in the movie, I'd probably be down with getting that too.

I'd buy that without a question.

You are hot toys target audience

 

[Mix Master]

You are hot toys target audience

anyone who buys a figure is HT's target audience

also the way they did mandarin just killed it for me, too much comedy there. but at the end of the day we can point out all the flaws but as usual marvel is laughing straight to the bank.
