[Droog Alex]

Where's Joker 2.0?

[ShortRound]

Love the new head sculpt!!!

[Slp bishop]

finally going to be able to get this and a better version for way cheaper than ebay prices on the old one i could understand not getting this if i already had the old one but im exited i wonder if sideshow will put this up tomorrow

[Gipetto0812]

So for those who have the original release, what's the difference between this new "2.0" and the original??

It looks great though I'm afraid of what the price is going to be

[tylerdurden]

thanks for the pics, lejuan.

the armour paint app looks more or less the same. not that there's anything wrong with that, since this thing was close to perfection to begin with.

the headsculpt however, is excellent! not as sweaty-looking as i'd have preferred, but lightyears better than the first tony stark "likeness".

and nice touch with the flame and the cave base.

consider this pre-ordered, no question about it. funny how things work out--- i had the v1 but it was stolen. out of all the collectibles i lost last year, this was the one i truly missed. and now i've got a 2nd chance to own it again (without having to pay a king's ransom on ebay)! :yess:

[steve74]

Another one to add to the collection.

[Calcifer]

Where's Joker 2.0?

Probably went back to the drawing board for him, this figure is pretty much a repaint of the original with a new sculpt, I'd imagine the Joker 2.0 will be a completely redesigned figure.

The headsculpt, flame accessory, and some kind of working action with the missile launcher are new. Otherwise he looks pretty much the same to me as the one that I have. However, I'm not as discerning to minor differences in the armor paint as other collectors might be, so that looks the same to me.

[Balrog]

Flamethrower looks awesome :clap

[DarthTrafford]

Damn that is sweet looking!
I'm getting this one for sure since I missed the 1st one!

[ShadowX81]

Awesome!!!

I can't wait to get this.

[RIDDICK]

Coz it looks like poo?! :dunno

I think when they say "working missile launcher" they just mean the flap opens to reveal it, I think that's how they also described it in the specs for the original Mark 1.

..and like I said already there should be a flame for each arm to recreate the "My turn" scene, just giving us the one kind of sucks!

Oh, well that's one more thing that isn't new then.

I think I like this release. It's similar enough to the original that those that have it don't have to buy one for an upgrade and it also allows those that missed out the opportunity to get the figure they missed out on.

[ronskimomo]

Cancelling my Mark I for the Mark III was a huge mistake. Now I will finally have all the suits.

[EXOTICLEX]

Where's Joker 2.0?

Why can't they seem to get RDJ's likeness right?

[Megacolor]

hell yeah!!

[Megacolor]

finally pics are up!!hell yeah!

[DarthTrafford]

I'll be getting this.
Does it look like the flame thrower glows or no?

[Spanbauer]

I'd say they did this time.

[RIDDICK]

Have no idea. I think it's all about those dumb licensors :gah:

looks great imo. I will def PO this because I missed out on the first one.
My Turn!

Erm, no...this head sculpt actually looks like RDJ, unlike the sculpt for the 1.0. That head had a quaintness to it, but it was hardly a stellar likeness. I think this release looks fantastic - when's the PO??? :impatient:

[EXOTICLEX]

another great clip as reference as well.

Next Thursday with the newsletter?
I'm hoping so!

Coolbeans. Thanks for the info. Will have to think long and hard about this one. Maybe just PO from SS or BBTS so i dont have to worry about a cancelation fee. Taking a quick look at the old mark I in Michael Crawford's review and the sculpt is a real improvement. Also noticed in his "where to buy" and showed that SS had him for $170. Don't think we'll get that lucky but I hope it's not too expensive. Maybe $200?? Or is that just wishful thinking?

[RIDDICK]

This head actually looks almost nothing like RDJ, unlike the sculpt for their MarkIV

Fixed :dunno

[DarthTrafford]

There are two threads about this going on,any chance some one can combine them?

[Custo]

I'm sorry you don't see it, but this may be their best RDJ yet.

I think $200-$215 will be about right. Black Spidey and Red Skull just listed for $200. Spidey is a pretty simple figure with minimal accessories, but comes with an extra Peter Parker head and a huge Sandman display base. Red Skull has limited accessories but very detailed outfit pieces and two heads. With the exception of the flame, the Tony Stark head sculpt, and the somewhat fancy base, this is a straight up repaint/re-release. There really isn't anything to justify a huge mark-up beyond the recent price hike HT has just had for their basic MMS figures...

[RIDDICK]

I'm sorry you don't see it, but this may be their best RDJ yet.

Will see. For now it looks just slightly better than the one from MechTest version.

[kobayashi93]

Bring it on.

[Khonsu70]

Fixed :dunno

No need to 'fix' my posts, I write what I mean. Feel free to mod your Mark I with the head from the Mark IV, whatever floats yer boat. For me, this head works fine.

[RIDDICK]

"This head actually looks almost nothing like RDJ, unlike the sculpt for their MarkIV"
Fixed :dunno

:goodpost:
New sculpt's definitely better than MkI 1.0 but MkIV beats it accuracy wise, no doubt

New sculpt needs to look more famished and dirtier. The iris is again too small like previous RDJ's :panic:

and it's really a bummer they didnt include 2 fire blasts for the Fireman/My Turn scene

[sifu74]

Yawn
Looks like the same RDJ sculpt just repainted better

[gunm]

Looks great! I will try to get this one, although I'm pretty scared about the price. So SSC will put preorders up shortly? Maybe even tomorrow?

[DarthTrafford]

Really? The same?

[Demimatt]

If this is 150 (which was the original) I'd purchase, but this will be 250 I'd imagine, which is an easy pass. NO MORE IRON MAN (for me)

[ebor]

...time to merge the THREE threads on this...


I'm a lead farmer muther'____er...

cummon HT, time for a Kurt Lazarus figure...

let's do this:yess:

Wow that's mine. :yess:

[Khonsu70]

????

$250 is DX pricing territory (at least for now) and there is NO WAY this comes close to being a DX, in large part because it doesn't have PERS - which seems to be the major defining characteristic of all DX releases, whether the figure benefits from the PERS or not. My prediction is $200, give or take 10 bucks. You can probably get this cheaper someplace like Alter Ego or Toy Anxiety, but if you want the exclusive little hologram thingie, you'll have to go through SSC, pay full price and no free shipping. :monkey2:monkey2

Still think this IM looks very cool!

[greygoose]

Great looking figure. Congrats to the peeps that missed out on the first one who will get this.:yess:

[kaidoy021]

all I see is a new stand, head sculpt and light up flame feature. Am I missing something? Looks the same to me.

[darren1228]

Yup. Looks pretty much the same. So much for improvements. Just call it a rerelease.

It would make no logical sense for this to be the same price as the original. It's been over 3 years. You'd have to expect a price increase.

I think this is amazing. The Sculpt is a very good likeness, WAY better than the original.

Bring on the PO!

:yess:

[averone]

Like I said before, sure happy I waited for this version.....

Simply amazing!

[Agentofchaos]

What do you guys think is going to be the PO price on this? 209.99?

[Hydeous]

Dont really see any difference with the v1 to be honest, except for the Stark sculpt (which will stay hidden most of the time). Was expecting a removable armor this time around fro the 2.0.

[rdc2]

With the helmet on...you just can't tell the obvious difference...

[gunm]

The prices this year compared to last are all quite a bit higher. You can't say that $250 is "DX pricing" anymore, nor can you say that $150 is "standard" pricing for a regular MMS.

That said, I'm guessing we'll find out shortly, perhaps even tomorrow, if SSC puts up the preorders.

[Darth Con]

Sweet!!! definately not missing out on this one again! count me in! thankfully i didnt have to fork out a billion dollars for the first version! :yess:

[Hydeous]

With the helmet on...you just can't tell the obvious difference...

Exactly.

I think they did these just to satisfy the growing number of HT fans, and to stop the vietnamese bootlegs on recasts.

[kaidoy021]

doesn't his face sculpt look too clean cut? he should face should be all dirty and sweaty and hair not so clean cut. He was in captivity in a dark cave. LOL..yea..i'm getting picky.

[Hydeous]

Thats what I noticed too actually.

At least the V1's hair bangs are messy and accurate.

[rdc2]

Exactly.

My Mark 1 is display with the helmet on...Since i got it, I just took a peek on the HS and boom...he never saw the daylight...

[eaglerabbit89]

nice. another chance to get this. now bring on the DX Joker 2.0! i wonder what the price will be for this one. i guess we will find out in a day or two.

[ashkanls]

What a waste. Instead of releasing new characters they do old crap that has high value on the secondary market almost like they arent getting the pie so no one should.

Where the heck is Green Lantern or the New X-men stuff or the Pink version, black version, purple version, gay pride version Iron Man mark 2047234563???

[HotKing]

The price for the Mark 1 (v2.0) is at $250 Singapore dollars for pre-order...
I am guessing SS will [rice this at $220 USD or slightly more...

[Centurion]

I hope it's taller than v1.0

[rdc2]

I hope it's taller than v1.0

Why? Will you be placing it side by side?

[xenom0rph]

Must buy - I don't think we will get a third chance on this....or will we? ;-) With hot toys you never know.

Really like the new headsculpt - it's definately oriented to the Mech Test Tony stark HS.

[Balrog]

Why? Will you be placing it side by side?

:slap 1.0 was too short. Mark I was pretty huge, watch the movie.

[The Entity]

Have to say it looks pretty cool. The RDJ sculpt looks amazing! Brilliant work!
But, I'm happy with just the one IM figure that I have, so this will be an easy pass for me :)

[Hydeous]

PO price is up from my local dealer $200. So SS price would most likely be $219 I'm guessing.

Seems like sound business sense to me... re-release a figure that the secondary market has shown to be a winner with fans, snaffle up all the easy money and maybe use that money towards more R & D and/or riskier or more niche licenses. This re-release is driving the hobby forward. Or it could just be going straight into Howard's new Ferrari. Which is fine too, Howard's a swell guy.

[BlitzOUT]

Very nice! Great head sculpt and I love the flame accessory. Not sure if I will get it though. In the entire time I collect i've decided I only need 1 Iron Man figure. Obviously the red and gold 'classic' look is a suitable choice but both this and MK 2 unleashed version have caught my eye

Any outside opinions on what Iron Man figure I should get as my one and only?

I'm with you, It really is just smart business. I understand why people are upset with hot toys going all re-issue crazy. I like many others have had many of my hot toy figures devalue to a price lower than I payed. I think It's silly though to get mad at hot toys as a company for it though. We the consumers are the reason for this. We created an unprecedented event in the collector community were collectibles were sky rocketing one after another in value and in a short period of time. Hot toys has grown by leaps and bounds over the last few years, and it would be stupid not to revisit these previous figures especially when there is a guaranteed market who has demonstrated that they are willing to pay well above the original price set for the older figures. I am definatley ready for them to start giving other licenses the same attention they do to iron man and predator, and I am all most certain that day will come sooner than we think.

[dvdwyn]

yeahhhaaahhahaaa, hopefully wolverine 2.0 after this..

I have the mark iii, mark iv, and the mark vi. I would call it a tough split decision between the mark vi and iv, but I would say go with the mark iv. The mark iii does have it's charms aesthetically over the new marks, but the mark iv and vi are just to much of an improvement over it in my opinion. So if you want my opinion I'de say go with the mark iv.

[azurepred]

missed the first, but not passing this one up. That ex glow figure thingy is pretty lame though, defn won't be paying more for that. If it's in the 200-210 range, should be good to go.

I've got every Iron Man figure and while I do love my Mark I and II, my favorite one is the Mark IV. I love the build quality on it. And its got a great RDJ head sculpt for kitbashing a Tony Stark figure. So, thats definitely the one I'd recommend getting.

[Gipetto0812]

Any outside opinions on what Iron Man figure I should get as my one and only?

When I had this question, I asked a friend of mine who has all the HT IM figs and he recommended the MK4. But with Avengers so close, I'm just waiting to see what that version comes out like for a gold and red IM

Howard's more incline to invest in Properties... which is a sounder investment as well..

Nice comparison pics Bandito!

Looks like the undersuit has changed a bit in the collar area

[BlitzOUT]

Great comparison picks!
Man, although a red and gold IM would be suitable for my collection, this just blows me away!

[rdc2]

Based on the pictures above, v1 got the better lighting during the pictorial...

[usswanker]

I missed out on the first release. I'm thinking about passing on the Mk V and picking this one up in his place. You know for that one off Iron Man that isnt red and gold. Not excited to see how much he's gonna cost us though.

[kaidoy021]

not sure if its the lighting or not, but I honestly like the look of the v1 better. Looks more battle worn or something

[usswanker]

The biggest improvement is the Tony Stark sculpt but other than that you really can’t tell a big difference. Which is a good thing because some people shelled out some serious cash for the V1.

[gunm]

Beyond the HS, the differences seem very subtle.

In any case, I'm just grateful to have a second chance at this without the crazy insane eBay prices.

[galmando]

I think the general consensus among fans is that this is their chance to own the Mark I without paying sky high prices.

I'm not sure that many will care about the differences

My only concern is the price, which is silly considering the eBay prices, but Hot Toys know that they have folk over a barrel so they could put a hefty tag on this and still see plenty of sales

I suppose it is a rather complicated figure, as said in different threads, the most expensive part of a Hot Toys figure seems to b the head, at least on the aftermarket, but the Iron Man figures I would say are an exception to that.

We'll see soon

[BlitzOUT]

I just love the design and the underlying suit. If this is in the price range of $225 and under I may pick him up

[Lejuan]

Up at Angolz (http://www.angolz.com/store/iron-man-mark-i-2-0-limited-edition-collectible-figurine-1-6th-hot-toys-mms168.html) for $215.50.

[BlitzOUT]

Wow! Thats a price im willing to pay!

[eighthsamurai]

apart from the flamethrower (which looks like a cool idea) i'm pretty happy with my original version. glad i won't have to shell out for the upgrade. can save the money for their upgraded jokers, batmans and robocops :slap

[Ghouligan]

not sure if its the lighting or not, but I honestly like the look of the v1 better.

Me too, it surprised me.

This is an easy pass for me, I'd love to have it but it's not a priority and at the moment I only have cash for ones I need... And I NEED Red Skull!

[Hydeous]

Cheapest so far currently is @ $185usd for this.

[Firebird]

I am buying this! :rock

Still going to keep the original Mark I in my collection.

[BB&WSF]

Cheapest so far currently is @ $185usd for this.

Where? $185 sounds pretty good.

[Darth Snoopy]

WOW! Looks great! :rock

http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/69381c07gw1dp0vlm6uzjj.jpg

Hate to say it guys, as I've been looking forward to this, but I think this is an alternate universe Mk 1, where Tony makes a small design error and ends up dying during his escape attempt after being gut shot multiple times with AK47 rounds...

Pay attention to the front armor plate covering the stomach area. On the screen original and HT 1.0, this plate comes right down to the waist armor. All the shots here though show a huge gap.

It looks to me like HT maybe did make the 2.0 a bit taller by stretching the torso somewhat without retooling the armor, leaving a pretty vulnerable and unsightly looking 1/2"-3/4" gap between the plates :(

[-jay-]

I never noticed that until you said.

[tommyh84]

I'm sooooooo buying this. That head sculpt, that exclusive edition extra it's all so drool worthy

Must purchase!!!!!

[Firebird]

Same here. Maybe they can fix that issue.

[Torch_Vert]

I never noticed that until you said.

Yeah, I didn't catch it last night either, but looking this morning with fresh eyes I had a "hey, wait a sec..." moment. Hopefully this can be corrected before production.

Hate to say it guys, as I've been looking forward to this, but I think this is an alternate universe Mk 1, where Tony makes a small design error and ends up dying during his escape attempt after being gut shot multiple times with AK47 rounds...

Pay attention to the front armor plate covering the stomach area. On the screen original and HT 1.0, this plate comes right down to the waist armor. All the shots here though show a huge gap.

Its not its the same thing better paint and new head sclupt what you are pointing out its a result of the pose the is leaning back more and it exposing his stomach area more

[Torch_Vert]

No. Look at the bottom photo in that set and also compare the distance between the plate that loops under the arm and the belt line between the 1.0 and 2.0, this side plate is nearly inside the belt armor on the 1.0, way above it on the 2.0

This wouldn't be affected by a "lean back". There *is* more space on the 2.0...

[SixthScaleEdward]

Good, I thought i was the only one who's seeing huge gaps on v2.0

[Darkseed]

Bandito thanks for the v1 vs v2 comparison shots. :clap

The difference between the two are very subtle. The entire core section of v2 contains more gaps in the armor. Perhaps this was intentional allowing the figure a wider range of poses? With such subtle changes and having v1, I feel no need for v2. Money saved......

[mao86]

Cheapest so far currently is @ $185usd for this.

Where is it listed for $185.00US??? Thanks.

[SixthScaleEdward]

I think he's just making estimates considering current market..?

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

So for those who have the original release, what's the difference between this new "2.0" and the original??

It looks great though I'm afraid of what the price is going to be

The flame accessory, which looks to be the best part to me.

I'm glad Ht have hot the Q3 range now.

[skullboy]

Ive just leaned my mark I back and i cant get a gap like that :dunno

[tommyh84]

Dammit I've only just gone and ordered the Mark II AU edition to go with this :slap :rotfl

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

I think the eyes are a bit too close together, other than that it looks spot on RDJ.

But lets see them charge double for this than they did for the original even though they about the same inlcuded.

$185 is a joke guys look at Red Skull retailing at $200 and has less sculpting and engineering work than this.

[robbiethepainter]

This is all good to me. I have the original and my fear was this new release would be far superior and that I would be compelled to buy it. Luckily its slightly better because a decent head sculpt but the original still holds up. Awesome for people that missed the first but not epic enough to warrent a new purchase. Awesome.

Only thing that is bumming me out, is the little holographic suit. That is frikkn awesome.

Yeah i actually applaud HT for not going too far and making a figure too different that original owners would feel compelled to update.

I was expecting this and a Tony TT from the hostage cave scene as well, but this is a great update but not too much.

I skipped the first and will probably leave this as i'm not into Iron Man much anymore, but that's not to say if Q3 has nothing to peak my interest i'll still leave it.

But with HT that aint gonna happen, hopefully The ones in my sig will be shown and go up for order soon :pray:

There's not much difference because the first one -- sculpt aside -- was pretty much spot-on. I'm just happy for The Mike who will now be able to get his hands on this.

Yeah clear is nice and all. But you have two much cheaper
Options.
1- paint a 3 3/4 figure green and all it a day.
2- make a quick mold, and cast the 3 3/4 figure in clear green.

Now that I think about it. I'll be casting the mark 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 an maybe even the hulk buster 3 3/4 in clear green. No articulation. Just a quick cast. If I can get enough interest I'll make a bunch for people on here.

What say you? :)

Seeing Bandito's comparion pics, this stood out like a sore thumb. Better posability or not - this HAS to be corrected. That is not a suit of armor that anyone would have survived exiting a cave being shot at with AK's by any means. Good looking rerelease, but needs work to make it great.

[Hydeous]

Where is it listed for $185.00US??? Thanks.

At the HT agent shop here in Jakarta.

I think that's what they did too. I like that he may be taller but it's too bad about the gap. Although it looks to be closer to 1/4'' rather than 1/2'' to 3/4'' so it may be fixable.

[EndoSickness]

That thing looks so unreal.
Finally gonna get a Mark I.
Amazing, as for the gap:
Maybe they just made it more poseable and therefor the gap will make sense in the end...imo?!
Just sayin´.
:dunno

[BISHART]

i don't know, this is my mark 1, and its got a pretty good size belly gap... looking at the comparison shots i was convinced you were right, but now I'm not so sure... maybe.

[RagingBull]

If I had the original Mark I, I wouldn't be bothered about buying this but I don't so this is a definite buy for me. For some reason I thought it would of come with a lot more accessories but still if it keeps the price down then I'm not bothered. I'm getting a Mk I :yess:

Thats so weird mine has no gap at all

[skullboy]

Wow i aint had mine out for a couple of months as have just moved house :thud: i forgot how awesome this beast is.
I'm gonna get the new scultp as theres gonna be ____ loads of the new ones around.
I also agree with the earlier posting of how the oily/damaged look on this old one is more appealing, wonder why they changed it?

[sladesuperagent]

I never bought it the first time around (and I surely wasn't someone who paid $800 for one) but this may be too sweet to pass up.

I'd be down for a cast of MK 1 and 2!

[mikericm]

I AM SO STOKED! :yess:

I would have never gotten this @ $400-$500. But now, as long as its under $300, its bought.

I think its interesting how so many owners of V1 are not happy about this being released and of course those who do not have it, are thrilled.

One complaint from owners of V1 is that their will be woth less than what they paid for it in the secondary market. I have 2 things to say about that.

1 - Hot Toys didn't price this or any other out of production HT as high as they are in the secondary market. That 100% OUR fault for being willing to pay those prices.

2. I don't see anyone who owns a HT they paid $150 for ( silly thing, Dark Knight, etc ) complaining about their figures now being worth 2-4 times what they paid for it.

If you're going to be pissed and criticize for values going down because of a HT re-release, then give them props for making your $150 purchase worth $500.

NOW GIVE ME A PO! :clap

[Darkseed]

^^^^ I haven't read too many complaints from folks owning the original Mark I regarding this figure (least in this thread) Most v1 owners including myself say it looks like the one we already have with a few upgrades, no big deal :dunno

[skullboy]

Who's complaining? I'm not, i think its great that people will get to own this beast.
The original will always be the original and the MK I 2.0 will always be a reissue/remake, in years to come it will be the first one that people will want more. Theres gonna be loads of these around soon and I'm hoping to get me a sculpt so i will have the best of both worlds :yess:

With you completely Darkseed

[VoidDweller]

I own the original HT Mark I release and gotta say this is very nice upgrade. I really like the little enhancements/extras such as the flame and display base.

I'm sure the gap everyone is concerned about will fixed in final production. One would hope so. It actually looks like the waist armor might of slid down a bit as there is no gap between the top edge of the thigh armor and it.

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

http://ww4.sinaimg.cn/large/69381c07gw1dp0vlm6uzjj.jpg

What i take away from this pic... is that Hot Toys now use Photoshop far too much in their previews, not one pic of the 2.0 as it'd appear in reality without all the busy background stuff.

[mikericm]

My post isn't intented for those who are happy about this figure. But throughout many other threads discussing upcoming released and re-releases, so many have been complaining about all the re-releases and how it will affect the value of their original versions.

I love that this is being re-released. And I don't care how many versions of something they make.

[BB&WSF]

Guess, usually, people who complain are the ones who have bought the Mark 1 (or any other figure) at an inflated price. And this cribbing makes sense; I mean you pay through your nose for something and the next thing you get to know is that a 'better' figure is being released. Would piss me off too, but only for some time. That's the fun of being a collector, you win some, lose some.

[jayveeeusebio]

Just sold my old Mark I after seeing these proto pics of the new 2.0 Aside from the new improved HS & flame effects, I don't see any difference on the features so what's the use of the old one but to make a profit out of it right?

And how the Hot Toys are more resembling Hasbro than a limited collectible company, not just in remakes but in focusing on the same licenses over and over without expanding other derserved ones.

I think this looks great, better than the original but not too much better,.

But it's again more of the same license, i've grown too bored of Iron Man to spend anymore money on them, i've got 4 (previously 5) HT Iron Man figures and that's enough for any one license.

I've sold all my Iron men figures (exept V1) and recently turned down the silly thing gun metal as they will no longer increase in value, now that people know there could be a reissue just round the corner.

[The Mike]

This could have been the exact same figure in a different box.

http://media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqo50ltD2W1qfshcr.gif

From what I can see with the side by side comparisons, the armor is "smaller" meaning in different poses you see more of the TrueType underneath whereas the original looked bulkier. I'm trying to figure out whether or not the little holographic version is worth dropping free shipping from SSC.

All of these little add-ons to the Mech Test Tony, makes me really regret passing on that figure.

[xjamiex]

Looking good! The new Tony Stark head sculpt looks unreal! Now I wonder what the PO price would be...

[Xenophilius]

I have the first version and this one is on my list to buy too. Gonna have both next to eachother with a tag stating the date they're released.

[kaidoy021]

I am buying this! :rock

Still going to keep the original Mark I in my collection.

I am too. Damn the completionist in me!!

[Mad Old Lu]

The new headsculpt looks fantastic! But I'll stick with my original. I keep the helmet down anyway.

[kaidoy021]

:clap thank you for the comparison.

too bad he doesnt look he's been in captivity for awhile. Looks like he just got out of the shower and shaved. LOL:slap

[Johnny U]

I have to have this! :rock:

[mikericm]

He is available at Toy Hunter now. I'd have to think we'll see a PO with the next week. Maybe even today.

I ready he is priced between $190-$230 ( overseas ) depending on the retailer.

[xjamiex]

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but how is this figure only 12 inches? Wasn't the Mark 1 in Iron Man huge compared to all the Afghani terrorists? Here is the best picture I can find of height comparisons.

If he is PO'ing everywhere else then you'll most likely see this pop up sometime today on SSC's site. I don't think there is a lot of hype around it to wait for a big PO.

[FLOSI]

Looks identical to the first, new sculpt and fire ball aside.

[Gully Foyle]

The new headsculpt looks fantastic! But I'll stick with my original. I keep the helmet down anyway.

Ditto that.

It's similar enough to the original

It's exactly like the original, except for the new head, cheesy base, and yellow plastic snot blast.

It's a great figure, but this is purely a money grab on Hot Toy's part. Other than the Jorge Stark sculpt and gimmicks, there's nothing to differentiate this release from MMS 080.

Except the price. My Mk.1 cost me $160 about three years ago on preorder. Been loving it ever since, so this is good news for folks who missed out back in '09.

But the lack of innovation, new design specs, or improvement pretty much demolishes HT's claim of "limited edition."

The new boxes should read "Limited (until we fire up the same old molds and crank out some more) Edition Figure"

"Production Limited to 950 million units worldwide (for this year)" :cuckoo:

(And no, I'm not sore about the value of my original . . . that's meaningless to someone who doesn't intend to sell.
Folks who buy Hot Toys to "speculate, flip, and make money" are dolts, much like the "collectors" who saturated and destroyed the comic book market in the 90s. Eff 'em.)

The original release was a bit undersized, which was actually a turnoff for me and one reason I didn't pursue it when first released (even at a discount from Hastings website).

Really? The same?

The new one looks 100 times better!

HS... I'd think he was refering to Mech Test Tony (but with a smaller mouth).....
http://www.figures.com/forums/attachments/news/9053d1279289994-hot-toys-mms-mech-test-tony-stark-1starkclose2.jpg
I originally thought this new sculpt was a mod of the Mech Test one keeping the same basic face, but here they look pretty different. Distance between eyes and length of mouth being most noticeable. Expression on Mark I 2.0 even seems a bit less aggressive. Maybe just a new sculpt from a sculptor that did the Mech Test version? In any case, these two sculpts are the most accurate versions HT has given us IMO, so I'm glad they went more Mech Test and less Mark IV/BD Mark III.

[xjamiex]

Well, that picture doesn't really show because he'd help up by steel bars (see his arms) so he might be higher than he's supposed to be there.

They've been doing that for awhile with the trophy skulls you get with Predator figures.

[Ash Housewares]

Mine sold for 350 on feebay. Didn't sell it cause of the upgrade, sold it cause I lost interest in the IM line as Hot Toys have gone too far. This release seems pointless for people who own the original. Hot Toys keep this up and Enterbay could really start to gain popularity.

[mojo customz]

next will be a gold repaint------

[Uncanny Web-Slinger]

They've been doing that for awhile with the trophy skulls you get with Predator figures.

I wouldn't really count them personally as the figure can use them itself, this figure can't use the hologram and neither can the one included with the MK 2.

They're done with the strict intention to be used together and with other figures, the skulls aren't

[Centurion]

They've been doing that for awhile with the trophy skulls you get with Predator figures.

True. I'm still hoping they get around to releasing that huge skull trophy from Predator 2. It would be the one to the far left, on the wall of trophies, which looks like it could be a dragon's head.

Anyway, back on topic...

...I'm really hoping that there's more to this v2.0 release.
If it's at least as tall as the Mk.IV figure, I will be very happy with it.

Plus, enterbay isn't gooing to come in and make a perfect product. Enterbay could be GREAT for HT business. Enterbays product may show how great HT are.

So much for the whole, "two sculpts is why Red Skull is more exoensive than Cap" debate, this is another $10 apparently and comes with just the one HS.

[karamazov80]

I wouldn't really count them personally as the figure can use them itself, this figure can't use the hologram and neither can the one included with the MK 2.

They're done with the strict intention to be used together and with other figures, the skulls aren't
The P2 skulls are intended to go on the same wall though, so they really are meant to go together just like the Iron Man stuff. And I guess the Predator could hold a skull (so he could "use" it), but an Iron Man could also hold the hologram and pretend it is coming out of his hand or something. In both cases, these are essentially props that fit together on the screen and don't make as much sense just sitting around on the floor next to the figure.

BTW, the regular is $200 on BBTS.

It's looking at an August release according to Flex. Flex'd the Exclusive. I want the gummy Mark I.

I stand by my statement, any predator can use the Skulls and it'll look good and be in-keeping with the tribal culture/characters, usable for all...

Only a plain Tony Stark can use these holograms and have it look right.

Doesn't really matter anyway, they're only the Ex's, but it is a Hasbro type thing to do to try and get people to collect 'em all.

Guys it's not neccessary to say you got the Ex, it's not like you have a choice with SSC anymore.

Q3 release - no rush to order. Gonna wait it out. It's probably gonna have a huge edition size.

[KBA]

Ordered. And re-ordered the Mark II AU. Then the plan is to see how the Avengers Mark looks, and decide if I want that or wait for IM3 to get a definitive 'red & gold' Mark..

Huge! and thats why they gonna be worth shi* cant wait to get that sculpt though :pray:

[cr`]

:lecture Looking at these pictures I would agree. I do think, however, that it might be the poses and angle of the shot.
except that the armor looks exposed in ALL the pics, from MANY angles. unless improved before release, v1 now looks better than v2, faceplate down, of course.

The head looks lower into the armour on the original whereas the new one it's higher from the shoulder.

the brown suit is sticking out in so many areas in this new armor. if tony were to wear this in the film, he wont get to make his red and gold suit.

That point might be relevant if this were a basic clothed figure, but this figure requires a lot more molds, tooling and complicated paint apps. Regardless if they are recycling molds from the previous release, they still have to produce everything.

Also all likeness fees are different.

i think of them all lacking as a fig. that's why i still dont own a single red and gold mark. i'm with KBA, i'll wait for a better version from the next films. the ht's mark IV beats all the rest though.

this fig used 90% of the same molding from v1. so no need to make new molding templates, & less to pay the sculptor. i'd say this lalla is why the v2 is priced as much. and we see it too in the final painted fig. such brilliant improvement in the paint app it renders v1 absolete.

i'm, of course, just mocking ht's way of hyping the fig with lalla. now we see it's all just empty hype.

Wow, I can't believe I just payed $219 for a Mark 1 when just 7 months ago I almost payed triple that but thankfully came to my senses after wife threatened castration.

No offense dude, but if your not happy with four existing red & gold suits made so far, that's your problem.

HT shouldn't be making anymore of them when other licenses only have 2-3 figures in total with many characters left without one figure at all, let alone the 20 odd figures the Iron Man license has had, with more than half of them being the same character.

I kinda agree. But that mindset is flawed. There will ALWAYS be a better anything on the horizon. Technology improves all the time. I also collect Marvel Legends, which are 6". I love them and think they are great quality. However, I also love the 90's figures that were 5". The quality on the 5" was crap compared to marvel legends. But I still lov ethem and collect them.

I personally don't want to constantly be looking forward to what MAY be coming. I want to enjoy whats going on now and appreciate what went on in the past.

Ian who? Fassbender FTW! :pfft:

(Well Fassbender for a start and i'd take a Mckellen too)

Doesn't matter anyway HT has their cash cows they won't do two Fassbender Magneto's, if they screw up it up we'll be stuck with it.

I thought the Batman and Iron Man extravaganza would have to end soon and HT could devote more time to neglected licenses, and turn some of them into cash cows, but instead to decide to redo them all.

I once thought MGS could be a cashcow for them, Big Fanbase (big japanese fanbase especially) with pkenty of characters, all they have to do is devote time to it, but they'll stick with Bats and Iron Man for years to come until people are so sick of them HT goes bankrupt as the rest of their catalogue of licenses will be two figures and done with nothing to fall back on :(

They're catering directly to Batman, Iron Man and Predator fans the rest of their customers have money to spend on the licenses they like but HT isn't prepared to make the figures and take the money.

True. Judging by the pics AND assuming la la la wouldn't do a simple repaint it is a good guess it is different. :lol

You can't half tell some people are jaded by this re-release

It's gone from 'waaah! It's not worth as much' to 'nyah nyah! Ours is original!'

It seems, however, that if you're not in that camp, (like me) you don't care if it's the original or not.

I really don't care what people will think of my re-release in the future. I'll have a 1/6 Mark 1 figure! That's all that matters, right?
