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

[CollectorGuy]

We might get a full Tony HS with one of the AOU figures, I hope its an exclusive with the MK43

The mk43 is just another helmeted mk42 head but with no blood on it. Sorry it doesn't come with anything but a bd mk43 helmet
for exclusive.

Aw I can't decide what to do. Keep my PO for this or change it to the mk43 - I only want one iron man in the collection but the mark 43 looks amazing as well. I just don't want multiple iron man figures. The only thing swaying me to keep the mk3 PO is the classic look

Yeah I only want one IM to complete my Avengers lineup. The MK43 is a good looking fig, but I like the MK3 more. More uniform color of red and gold.

The prototype photos look awesome. But the couple of youtube videos ive seen from comic con or secret base it doesn't look the same. It might just be me thought haha.

This one the proportion of the head looks too small at secret base

But this 2nd one it doesn't look as bad ...

Thanks very much, hadn't seen either of those, it looks a real beauty..., can't wait to add it to my collection.

It sucks it doesn't have ab articulation but it looks great. I only need one IM to my avengers & I chose this over 43. It's tempting to get the 43 coz it's look great too but I need the hulkbuster too not to mention the rest of the avengers like hawkeye & cap.

 

[gazzinho]

I'm sure the articulation will be like the mark 42 - does that have ab articulation

Doesn't look that way because of the removal body piece.

Yeah, diecast Mark III very likely has no ab articulation because of that. Marks XLII and XLIII will have the same articulation - it's the best, so far, of any IM figure.

Canceled my waitlist finally, probably wouldn't have converted anyway. Much rather get the Ultron base with MK 43

 

[Invictus Sol]

Yep, that lack of ab articulation is really the only strike against this armour. Wish they hadn't done that. Since it will be my only IM, though, I'm OK with it. I'll be keeping Mark III in a hero pose, so no biggie, I guess.

 

[bebe13junior]

Hahaha I was thinking the same thing with the Ultron base. It looks really cool. But I think I'm sticking with the three I will have, which includes the MK3. I like the iconic, simplistic look of it. Reminds of the comic book iron man, which is what I'm mostly of fan of and not the movie iteration.

 

[Hologram AI]

I find it really hard to believe that they'll release this with no ab articulation. It would be a huge step backwards from all the previous Iron Man releases. They have really upped the articulation with the Mark 42 and have even implemented those features into the latest release, Starboost. This isn't due for a while. I think they'll add the articulation in the ab on the final product.

 

[Invictus Sol]

That would be ideal. It'll feel a little like a PowerPose figure if we have no ab articulation.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I doubt there'll be ab articulation. That way, the first Mark III isn't totally irrelevant. Always a give-and-take with HT.

Can someone explain to me this want of the ab articulation? It does not actually add any pose ability. Which is why hot toys opted to go another direction. Their testers found that the ab articulation had zero impact so they wanted to see if they could do something else.

 

[Invictus Sol]

I like it just to have it.

But seriously, are you sure it adds no posability? What about all those 'ground punch' photos people were taking with the first diecast figs? Would've had to have needed ab articulation for that, yeah?

 

[YankeesFanboy]

Why wouldn't ab articulation be a good thing?
