MMS Diecast - Iron Man: 1/6th scale Mark III Collectible Figure

[zackhigh1226]

Check out JingoBell's Mark 3 photos thread. I think it does a great job of doing the reindeer games pose.

Thanks for the tip! I was not disappointed!



That is definitely how I'm posing mine.

No problem. Love that pose myself and it works great on this figure!

Well, in all fairness, you did say "believe what you want to believe" which implied that you yourself didn't believe it was a legitimate issue. I'm not saying that's what you meant, but you can't blame the guy for taking it that way as that's the way it came off.

That's not what I implied.

Nobody here knows if it's a legitimate issue or not. Nobody here knows the severity of the issue. All we know is that figures have been and will be delayed for the foreseeable future.

100% serious question. So what exactly is going on? All I've heard is "dock issues" and "delays" for the past few weeks and I've just gone along with it without looking into it. Suddenly I'm interested in what is happening.

The **** I know. The last I heard we should expect delays for months.

Delays for MONTHS? Well doesn't that just fill my heart with joy.

I talked to Sideshow last week and I was told the Mark 3 should be released mid August. I hope that's still true.

I hope that's true too. This is one of my most anticipated figures, so I'm really looking forward to this one.

It was because of near 6 month dock workers strike last year. Where they had the whole port of long beach full of ships. It put them behind my about 8 months according to the reports then. They have managed to make up a lot of that time but there's still a back log because all that time off just let all the shipments pile up. So their normal turn around time has gone up. Add to that they also sold off the rights to the trucking and shipping. It's no longer an in house job but contracted out. So they have no control over pace of trucks to load all this stuff.

So essentially they got way behind and have yet to fully catch back up.

At least it wasn't just me that took it that way.

And I enjoy his "just stop replying it's dumb, so I can have the last word...also you need to chill while I get even more snarky and by God you better know exactly how I meant what I said even though I gave the exact opposite indication with what I typed you should be able to just tell I was joking!" Response.

My April 28 wait list for the exclusive is getting ready to convert. Can't wait for the arc reactor paper weight!

Dang. What a hot mess. I knew about the dock strike from last year but had no idea that it would affect shipments this far down the line.

Thanks for replying and clearing that up for me. Much appreciated.

At best, it'll hold down a post-it note. Unless you're referring to the whole figure itself.

Well, it's not my fault you misunderstood the intention of my post. And it's not my fault you've decided to appoint yourself defender of Hot Toys's "honor." Maybe it would've made sense to you otherwise.

No snark, not trolling - I'm far from the only member you've squabbled with on this board. You seem to get into it with at least one person every week or so. Are we all out to get you? Or is the problem...you?

Now if only Hot Toys would make a diecast Mark 6 that includes all of those weapon accessories... [emoji6]

Problem is they got som many parts to milk IM3 to death now so IM1-2 suits seem less likely.

Well...technically all seven Hall of Armor suits were featured a little bit in Iron Man 3. Once at the beginning when Tony is testing the Mark 42, and again when they all explode when Tony's house is attacked. Plus he even wore the Mark 7 at the diner scene with Rhodey. I suppose it's possible.

I know I'm probably stretching it a little, and I won't hold my breath, but a guy can hope, right?
