The Official Mark 3 Iron Man 1:2 Scale Maquette with Pics

[The Tuggernaut]

the more photos i see the less i like the paint job.it looks like a giant hot toys or something like that.mayve if cinemaquette makes on..

A giant Hot Toys? And you seriously think that if Cinemaquette made one, it'd be better than this?

 

[Skiman]

it's legacy effects job ,or isnt??look ithe busts ,i think they are cooler,right?

Well I'm just saying it's still done by Sideshow, regardless of bad, worse, best jobs in the past or future.

Putting everyone down while expounding your supposed wealth is never the way to go on these boards. Heck I can afford 10 Ferraris doesn't mean I go buy them. I'm sure quite a few posters from here will have no problems with financing him.

And yes, I can't wait for Warmachine

Its not that I am trying to put you guys down!

Not at all! I am simply implying that if we spend more money we will have one closer to perfection! I have no idea what the profit margin is but for the price we are getting an excellent piece.

I was saying if we move the factory to Germany or some place as such we would for sure get one statue of IM that would meet all of your expectations.
It will never happen! We can complain but it will not be that good. Now if you want to pay more then sure. But most are complaining about the $2K price tag!

You know that will never happen!! So why beat a dead horse! Why ask Sideshow to change when they will not! Or cannot! After all they are in the business of making money.

 

[averone]

Its a fact to most of you that I am an avid collector with many statutes of all kinds in my collection. I have seen it all, but I am not near as picky as most of you complainers here. The fact that you take on a statue with a magnifying glass just cracks me up!

You know what? If you dont like it, easy dont buy it! Tell Sideshow with your pockets what you think.

I took the time to get these pictures out to you, what do you want? It looks absolutely stunning! I have it in front of me? Do you?

I guess no matter what, with some of you we will agree to disagree so I am not wasting more energy on this with some guy in UK that doesnt have it. When you have it on hand get back to me then we will talk like men

I like you man, but the fact that you spend 2k on a statue and don't examine it that closely, cracks me up. Anyhow, hooray for class warfare.

There is no doubt that the one you received is great. I think the problem with SS is inconsistency. It seems like you have been quite lucky with the statue you received because the others have got some obvious flaws. I will order this no matter what because I know SS Customer service will not let me down if there does happen to be problems.

I for one appreciate the pictures dude. My wallet doesn't though

Thats the thing my man! I did look at it very closely! Its in fact $2K!!
But I dont see the orange peel, the missing paint and everything else that you guys are talking about! Maybe I did get lucky!

What is funny is that some of these guys find anything to complain about! I know you want to improve! I understand that! Yet I think you have to consider that what you want will add costs to the production of such pieces! They are from China after all!

I bet Sideshow can improve this even to the microscopic level as some of you are looking for, but are you willing to pay for that! Would $4K or $5K be a better price if this had an over the top Ferrari paint up?

I do love this part of the description on sideshows website

"Each piece is individually painted and finished, each with its own unique quality and detail that is the trademark of a handcrafted Sideshow Collectibles product."

No kidding

 

[Balsquat]

People need to stop hating on this piece. I see no problems with Averone's Iron Man at any pricepoint. In fact, it pwns big time. I guarantee everybody who is complaining about the paint job is all butt-hurt about getting a statue in the past that was not "perfect" and it drove them so crazy that they are taking it out on poor Averone. Let it go guys...

Let the haters do what they do best. Doesn't bother me, actually kinda entertaining.

Nice!!

I am going to the IM shrine and light all the IM lights for you!

May you end up with a perfect one!

I have this on order....but I hope I dont see areas on this like I did on my 1:1 bust when I got that. The neck area better be perfect same with all the joints. Pictures and reviews are all we need to see to get an idea of where this piece is heading in the next few months. If the next 30 pieces that go out all have paint issues again....this will be canceled and SS will hear about.
paint runs?????? are you kidding?????....on a $2000 piece you get paint runs??? That wasnt even a problem on the 1:1....this is a WHOLE new problem. I have $3000 1/12 model cars with paint finishes as good as the real car. Why cant these freaken chinese people paint consistently? This piece should be the EASIEST statue to paint...EVER! Its ONLY 2 colors and it has smooth surfaces....
But the part that still bugs me the most about this is that its not numbered. I dont know if I will ever get over that..

hot toys products are also painted by the "freaken chinese people". yet funnily enough, their paint apps are consistently top notch. as is the case with enterbay. far superior to anyone else. it all boils down to quality control. something sideshow has obviously failed at.

pls don't make generalizations. wouldn't want folks to think of u as a racist bigot, would u? just sayin.

Ok then....SIDESHOWS chinese people

Has nothing to do with racism. If they were painted in Germany, I would have said germans....if they were painted in Italy, I would have said italians....if they were painted in the US I would have said Americans....so on and so on.
I say Chinese because they ARE painted by chinese people....are they not?
Dont go getting all ambitious....

Damn, I want to produce stuff too then the people working for me will be called Fuzzylojik's Chinese People! woot! ;p

I get what you're saying Chris, up the QC or something in that particular production line and whip them into shape (not literally cos that would hurt!)
