Ironman 3 Spoiler/Figures Discussion

[Intruder04]

Do you have any decent reference on that? I can find almost no information on it barring a nearly non-existant wikipedia article that talks more about Iron Man than the alloy itself and a Yahoo questions answer which basically re-states much of the same information.

I'm just curious. I would expect a gold-titanium alloy to be soft and ductile and rathe brittle given the properties of both materials.

edit: there's a lot of misinformation out there about titanium, like this for example:



Titanium is NOT harder than steel, or even stronger than the same size piece of steel (depending on the steel). What it is, is strong for it's weight, about as strong as relatively soft steels but it is much lighter given it's mass. Anyone who has ever had a knife with titanium parts can attest to how easily scratched and marred it is compared to steel. At least that's what I've gleaned from my amateur readings on metallurgy. So that first sentence immediately calls into question the veracity of the rest of the statement as I'm pretty damn certain that is incorrect.

Well, no. I pretty much read the same stuff that you mentioned. That wiki article is a stub and I can't vouch for the correctness of Yahoo Q&A.
So,

Damn, I am actually quite curious about it's properties and there's like no information about it online. It seems if it's used at all it's not used often or not used in particularly well known or heavily discussed fields.

I'm curious about it too. Cuz I can't seem to find any other alloy that can prevent the icing effect at high altitudes on the secret armor suit I'm developing.......damn, did I just reveal too much??

In all seriousness, I'll ask my sis who is a dentist if this alloy has any frequent applications in her field.

I'm doing the same too bro.

Not too surprising, but they kept that info to Shanghai only? Anyhoo, I hope they put the PO for Silver Centurion up before the price hits $400.

Should be around $309.99 like the other die-cast figs from IM3. This better be MMS and not PPS.

Agreed! More MMS please!

Don' t included a HS and being Die-cast could be had for 284.99.. being non-diecast could be cheaper still

Pass for me, too expensive for just another red suit, if i'm getting anymore they have to be something original and different

Like Mk. XL: Shotgun.....

 

[Ultron-7]

Like Mk. XL: Shotgun.....

Yep or Gemini, Sneaky etc. just don't fancy anymore red suits and don't like Igor so not a lot interests me so far. Got Tony and the MK42 p/o'd tho.

If you grew up in the 80's and/or read the comic book from issue #200 and on, then this is not "just another red suit." For many of us, the Silver Centurion is iconic pop culture that marked a major change in the Iron Man legacy. Plus, the Silver Centurion is the true Mark VII of the Marvel Universe.

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

How is it actually the VII?

 

[FeMan]

The one thing that's been bothering me about this movie plothole-wise that I cannot come up with an answer to....

Rhodey succumbs to an extremis chick just grabbing his arm, then his armor "shuts down" all the way until the armor gets too hot... but the Mark 42 is seen grappling with Savin.... soooo why was Rhodey not able to blast that chick away or ever even think about escaping?

 

[dedguy]

I would imagine because his software isn't made by Stark.

 

[mrclean08]

How is it actually the VII?

This is how.

MARK I "Grey Armor"

MARK II "Golden Armor"

MARK III "Original Red & Gold"

MARK IV "Nose Armor"

MARK V "Classic Armor"

MARK VI "Test Model / Upgrade to Mark I"

MARK VII "Silver Centurion"

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

Oh, based on the comics. The comics have very little to do with the film armors though...

If you are an Iron Man fan, I would HIGHLY recommend getting the IM3 Art of Iron Man book. Its amazing. I love the story boards, the complete list and pics of all 42 armors, and all the behind the scenes looks at what didn't appear in the movie. I would bet there was footage of WM Mark 2 that was cut, and hopefully will show up on the DVD.

The concept art is awaesome.
