Ironman 3 Spoiler/Figures Discussion

I'm sure they keep track of sales numbers, and can probably tell from the first week that a figure becomes available for preorder how well (or how poor) it's going to do. If Red Snapper did really poorly, either in initial sales or due to a lot of cancellations after people saw the movie, then I could see them putting on the breaks and rethinking the idea of more secondary armors.

I still think it's been a bit strange that WM2.0 is the only figure they've announced since the movie came out. After all that hype leading up to the movie.

I could be wrong. They're the only ones who truly know and they certainly aren't going to tell us.

Well, yes, that's the point. THEY can tell what is selling well and what isn't. We can't. It's all just idle speculation.

 

[Grinch]

I don't know man, maybe you're right. But it's odd imo... they announced like 5 in a row and now nothing...

What really concerns me is that Sideshow literally picked the worst secondary armor to start with to gauge sales. The Red Snapper literally has its name dropped in the movie, does nothing, then gets its head ripped off and blows up. It's the one suit in the whole movie that even casual movie-goers would probably come out of the movie and say "Boy! That Red Snapper armor really sucked!"

Well to be fair it wasn't Sideshow's decision. Blame it on Hot Toys. But yeah, I agree. Red Snapper was probably the worst one to bring out this soon.

Yo listen up, here's a story...

That movie must have rally gotten to you, VS. You are the most positive person on this forum.

Yeah, I know. My apologies. I think I simply expected too much from this movie since its the first post-Avengers film we've seen.

My thoughts exactly. Before the movie, I was considering po ing this. After, no way! They should have led with heartbreaker or silver centurion.

Well, Red Snapper was one of the few armors that got called out by name in the movie. It did get some quality screen time too compared to most of the others. IMO, HT did announce kind of a lot of armors all at once...they need to pace themselves as they have a lot on their plate with already announced figs not to mention all the new IPs they want to grab later this year and beyond.

Plus, consider all the people who eye roll and complain every time HT announces a new IM figure...

I am actually.

Now, where's the darn MK38?

I'm actually watching it tonight.. my sister's fiancee can't wait to see it.

I'm surprised we got a Nick Joker before another mark suit.

Wow, so that's an actual thing? LOL. Was it really limited edition, I wonder?

 

[webhead20]

I am the only who wants a Heartbreaker figure?! That suit looked awesome in the movie!

 

[cofphoto]

Heartbreaker is my favorite "secondary" armor. But as much as I love the look, I'm not paying $250 for one. I definitely want the Mk 42 and the Iron Patriot, possibly Mandarin depending on look and cost. But I doubt I'll get any of the secondary armors. But that's just me.

 

[gunm]

Well, with the current pricing, it'll be more like $300. At those prices, it's a no go for me.

Oh well, fun while it lasted...

 

[Mix Master]

i wanted a HeartBreaker figure, but for me to buy a IM armor it has to have a good Amount of screen time
