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

[YankeesFanboy]

I've still got several months to go, but my WL for the exclusive hasn't converted. I wonder if it's all that big of a deal.

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I personally don't care for the exclusive items. They're never anything I care about or would display, apart from the baby Groot.

 

[CollectorGuy]

well if u had the robot arm and a IM TS custom u could imitate that scene at the end with tony
and the mk1 chest piece.

I'm in the same boat but farther back on the WL...

Anyone know when these'll be released?

Slated for a July 2015 release, but expect at least one delay.

Thanks man. Still think this'll be a classic.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Thanks man. Still think this'll be a classic.

Yeah, I hope so. Should be about 50 percent diecast, but who knows?

 

[The Rage]

I ordered the exclusive, and now I'm debating selling off my orignal Mark III. Was gonna wait until I got the diecast in hand to see if I liked it, but man, so many other armors I want right now.

 

[Cap'n Cook]

Really looking forward to this. Only Iron Man I want and need.

Same here, bought the first M3, then the BD M3, BOTH were great looking but felt waaay too light in hand -- it just sort of felt counter-intuitive so I ended up selling them. THIS will be weightier in hand and more representative IMO. Did the same with RoboCop and that is a much heavier figure according to those who received it.

Same here. Already thinking about selling my mk 42 because this is going to be the definitive Iron Man IMO.

 

[Chronos1919]

Same here. I'm hoping we see a diecast War Machine too.

The original Mk 3 was not great looking. It was woeful. Probably the only HT IM that needed to be redone.

And, serious question... why is weight important? It's a display piece. I really do not understand this obsession with having scale replicas made out of a cheap pot metal that compromises detail.

I'd love to see HT do a definitive plain Tony figure from the first film, either in the cave or regular playboy clothes. And yes, give sculpting RDJ to Claire Yoo. Kojun cannot get it down.

A Mech Test Tony V2 could be pretty definitive of the first film. Cave Tony is a fun idea.

 

[Johnny Utah]

This was the first image I ever saw of RDJ as Tony. This is something I'm surprised HT hasn't done yet.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I bet Mark 1 3.0 will be diecast and come with a separate Hostage Tony figure. Any takers?

If it came bundle with yinsen I might bite

Although I'm a fan of how the diecast was implemented with War Machine MK II (seemed to allow for better articulation), I also wonder why people find the 'heft factor' so important. To me, it's main value is as a gimmick that allows HT to shamelessly remake existing Marks (in addition to this Mark III, I'd likely pick-up a War Machine Mark I), so I don't have to buy them for secondary prices on the aftermarket. It is nice to hold these heavier versions in hand, but otherwise, it does nothing for me and you cannot tell visually that there's any there, at all. There are even people now wanting Igor or Hulkbuster to be diecast, just seems ludicrous. Surely in those cases, 5 or 6 pounds of plastic should provide enough heft? Somehow it being 10+ lbs is even better?

I kinda of wonder the same about this too. I'm happy they are re-doing some of the armors, but I could do without the diecast. If people sell their older plastic armors for a decent price (like retail) then I'd opt for the plastic version. But since that will probably not be the case, I will probably be getting some diecast armors.

I know some people just love diecast. Whether it be cars, tanks, statues...anything diecast. I guess there is something cool to be said for having a model diecast tank that is actual metal. And I would assume it is the same thinking with these figures.
