Just saying, stark is 5'9, IM is 6'5 blame Fiege
That chart makes the decision for me, Bransen. No diecast Mark III for me.
Thanks for that!!!
Really?
I mean, really?
You're going to forego an awesome looking figure at a reasonable price for half an inch? Maybe 5/8s an inch?
Are you a carpenter for a living? Even they can use shims! lol

Well for a $300 figure they better make it close as possible. That height is way off and not excusable since they've been getting his height correct all this time.

Question, does anyone arc reactor have a low dim when the lights in the room are off and the switch for it is off but the batteries are in? I'm afraid is draining the batteries by giving it that low glow, I got mine yesterday but I set it on a desk and noticed that something was on, like the glow you get when you turn off a light bulb... Just wanted to ask if it was mine or if anyone noticed it

Also, just to note... I don't think he is all that reasonable of a price. They charge more by throwing
him in the "DIECAST" series, then skimp on the amount of diecast put into the figure, re-use an accessory
for the special bonus piece, and also do not bother to re-configure the torso to articulate it properly.
Just my opinion, but if you tack on all of this to the height issue, how great of a value is this guy?
Either you want or you don't. Still worth it especially for someone who didn't have the orginial, classic armor. Love this figure.
Here's some of my pics! Hawkeye is coming this thurs. I'm almost complete with my Avengers line-up!

Hilarious gif and my favorite scene from Thor.

We have Play Imaginative to thank for the whole die cast fiasco. HT jumped the gun and dove head first to squelch any 1/6 diecast alternatives when the Mark VII came out. I think they realize the process to make the figures is (for whatever numerous reasons you want to insert here) not worth the full effort to make a near 100% metal figure.
I do believe (IMO) the die cast pieces will dwindle down for them as we are now seeing significantly less % of die cast in theses figures such as WL MKII, Robocop and now this MK III that is having less of it included. They could be including less and less to get themselves out of the DC business by making the customer B & M be more inclined to just take the figures as 100% plastic again. The interesting metric would be how much the diecast pieces cost over all plastic.
Knowing HT they will removed the die cast and charge the same amounts moving forward though unfortunately.
I am not buying into the camp of him being that much taller than Captain America once inside the suit...
I think that 6' 5" is a typo, lol. That being said, they should at least be the same height. That much is for sure.

Again, that may not be possible while also trying to maintain screen actuate proportions. I bet if you were able to compare the 3D models they used across the movies you would find plenty of variances to the height and other proportions between them. These proportions get cheated and manipulated all the time in the movies for the sake of making it look the way they want in various scenes. It's probable that Iron Man isn't consistently the same height throughout the films when you consider how much of it is CG.
I can appreciate wanting the IM figures be the same height, Ideally I'd like that too when lining these up together, but making him taller would change the proportions and they look really screen accurate to me as it is. I think the priority is to make the figure accurate in relationship to itself first, it looks like that's what they did. Looking at Breadstickman's pics I think they got it right! I can hide the height difference through how he and other figures are posed near each other the same way they hide the height differences of the actors when they want to. I agree with Breadstickman, "either you want it or you don't" and I am glad I just got my notice that mine is shipping soon
