MMS164 - Iron Man: Iron Monger Limited Edition Collectible Figure

[DFanatic]

Hey, where can I see more pictures of this event?

 

[Spiderwebb13]

That is a thing of true beauty.

 

[leafster]

When this fellow comes in, detolf have to re-adjust.. Huge!

 

[SkyIScrape]

A bit off topic, but I don't understand how Stane actually operates Iron Monger. Surely from the size of it there is no way he has his arms and legs inside the limbs in a way that would make them functional like the Iron Man suits would be. Does anyone know if some sort of mock blueprints exist or something? It bothers me every time I look at it.

 

[Buttmunch]

Think of it like a big video game controller

so you picture him all curled up in the body holding a controller? Certainly requires more skill than wearing Stark's suits!

I want it to be more like the power-loader from Aliens but it's just too flexible at the joints for it to work.

 

[Jmlsuperman]

Suspension of disbelief.

 

[Centrocal]

yeah his arms were in the torso but i could never figure out where his legs would go. whether he's sitting in a chair or has his legs actually inside the robot legs

 

[Wor-Gar]

Duh, he flexes his toes to simulate the knees.

 

[Centurion]

Suspension of disbelief.

I was just gonna say.

Thats my best guess too. His arms were free in the torso, hense my video game controller example. His arms aren't in the arms and his legs might not be in the leg either. He's basically along for the ride but probably could have remote controlled the armor and had similar, albiet less deadly, results.

He sit cross legged or on his knees, as an homage to kevin flynn.

Hahaha! Maybe so. We would never know.

It was widely believed at the time the movie came out that his hips align with the Iron Monger hips, but his legs only extend to the knees(With perhaps a limited reaction system so small movements of his legs inside the suit generate larger results outside). See pic below for how it could work(I know it's oversized).
His arms would be in armatures inside the body to work the arms from within the body(Like Quaritch in Avatar), and he would have a lot of switches and dials in the body he could use for different weapons systems(Because he didn't have Jarvis).
Of course there's not a whole lot of room in the suit for anything(Although, irony of ironies, there'a lot more room inside it than Tony's suit, and everybody believes that could work, lol). And some of the joints don't line up well with a human body.
But it's just a "take it with a pinch of salt" type of thing.

 

[Scarver]

It is confirmed that will be released the next year- (at least in the US)

So it's not hitting the U.S. until 2013?

Funny . . . I thought it was a "this is comic book science fiction" type thing.

 

[Marvel-ous]

Then I am cancelling my 3 (yes, 3) Monger pre-orders and HT can go kcuf itself. Enough with the gdamn delays already.

 

[spindrift]

I honestly think this figure is a long way from release..with HT delays i thought Fall was way too early being only four months or so after original planned release date.
Being such a big, completely new tooled figure..next summer might be more realistic.
Yes ridiculous, I agree.

 

[RIDDICK]

Not ridiculous at all.
The more you wait the less you spend.

Now go cancell and whine later

SSC site still has Nov 2012 on it. I will post if I know anything else.
