XM Studios Iron Man 3 Statue

[Sweet Rabbit]

The unmasked heads still need work

Heads haven't improved and the gold looks terribly flat.

Hope they can fix these up...

Ya, I inquired there... still gonna run me over $700 to Canada when all is said and done.

And I agree, the gold does look very flat on the new proto pics. Think Im just gonna stick to the Iron Studios Iron man 3 statue from Brazil since I have it pre-ordered already.

Really looking forward to that ship carrying the Iron Studios statues arriving too.

I don't want to write the XM piece off just yet, but it hasn't improved at all from the first images posted here...

Anyone find the masked head a tad small or is it just me?

 

[RobertoBagg10]

such a shame that we're missing the light up feature here...would definately improve the figure 10 fold imo

Seriously????? OMG!!!!

You know something about the pose? Will be standing like this one or more "action" pose?

Cheers Stussy

 

[stussy]

l have no idea on the pose yet, they are working on the intrinsic parts. I told them l will be interested in a Mark 7 or 6 though

Hopefully there will be a lot of switch out parts.

I would be down with a 1/4 mark 7

sneak peeks

After just realising that my local retailer will be stocking the XM Studios 1/4 Marvel line, this thread has suddenly got my attention! MK42 is a must have, Captain America looks pretty cool not to mention Hulk Very, very excited! plus news that Thor and Black Widow are next to be released!!!

 

[RobertoBagg10]

I m getting mark 42

Any of those closer to home have any updates on this piece? As far as I know XM Studios were waiting for Iron Studios to release their MK42 first before shipping their version

Notice how the paint colours are so different to those used for the Iron Studios 1/4 statue plus this version has more grey shading...wonder if this one will have such drastic colour changes in the final production piece?

 

[Sweet Rabbit]

Are they going to fix the human faces?

As per their blog, the human faces were just one of the adjustments that they were claiming to be making on this piece aswell as the face on the Hulk too so not heard anything since

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

I'm not feeling the tone of the gold on this anymore, and the faces need improvement.

Seeing PI's sculpts and paint on their 1/4 version make this look the lesser of the 2 comparatively.

I think I'm going to stick with the PI Mark 42 1/4...

I've seen so may different tones of red and gold used for the MK42 over the past few weeks that I don't even know what is correct anymore I was really liking the proto paint apps used for the Iron Studios MK42 and then that got changed on the production piece.

This XM Studios version now has these grey parts which I don't remember being on the actual movie suit???

I actually like the route they have gone with the reveal headsculpts and the interchangeable arm, however, i feel the execution maybe lagging on this piece not to mention it doesnt have any light up feature which in my book is a necessity for an Iron Man collectible

that's what i wanted to say, i don't really know what is the real color anymore, should i wait for hot toys to make their mk42 and then decide? but if it would go for personal preference, i really loved the IRON STUDIOS prototype, that was really awesome, after they changed it, i kinda passed.
about XM studios Iron Man 3 Statue, i love the way you can swap the faces, if they manage to make the face like they do with hot toys, this is would be a winner, also i love you can get pepper potts as an interchangeable face. really well done. no light up features i think, but meh...

 

[Y4NK33 PL4N3T]

Andy, I agree. The IS proto might be the best I've seen as far as accuracy. These grey parts are from left field somewher, and no light up feature for an IM piece with a heavy price tag is questionable.

Weihon, PI's 1/4 offers a Pepper sculpt too btw

Eric, what is this PI version?

OMG just noticed that my local retailer will be stocking this XM Studios version and it looks like I've been priced out of this version with the asking price of just under $960

I was tempted but at that price and no light up feature...im afraid i'm out
