[darthviper107]

Wow, that is amazing. Includes the robot plus floor/backdrop and invisible stand.

Must Buy!

[The Tuggernaut]

Holy Crap! That is amazing! :rock Hot Toys just keep on impressing. This will be perfect for me, as I have to make a custom Stark figure with a suit. I still might get around to doing one, but this will fill the gap nicely.

[wookster]

That sculpt is very impressive!

[Snake Eater]

WWOWOOOOOWOWOWOOWOOWW!!!

That is exceptionally cool! The sculpt is awesome.

[ChaserFan]

:horror:horror:horror:horror:horror:horror:horror

OMG! HT just keep on amazing me! Can't wait for this, definite buy! :rock

[creecher]

Just too cool. Sold.

[RIDDICK]

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

0___0

[Minimodel]

Well,thats "Figure of the year" 2010 sewn up then.

[ecekat]

now we are talking!!!!!!GREAT!!!

[Darren Carnall]

wow. Just.... wow. :bow

[Centrocal]

"MECH TEST VERSION" :lol Who would have predicted that :lol

[OMG]

My god !!! pre-order tomorrow :gun

This is the first Kojun sculpt than show some likeness, good job! I had a feeling that this and BD IM was orginally planned for the DX.

[Chouzi]

OMG!!!!..... love it!!

[Alice Adrenochrome]

I never saw that coming... It's great, but I think I have all the IM I need: IM I, IM II, IM II ST, IM III.

[Shai]

Hear the Worm:


Best Tony Stark likeness ever !!!

[OSCORP]

HT > everyone else.

[Mooncat]

Ultra frickin cool

[kalashnikov74]

Impressive

[EVILFACE]

Damn nice.

[Khev]

Holy crap. I'm speechless.

[Thrustmaster]

wow, this is awesome to the max! unbelievable how the quality has risen up for just a year! good lord is this stunning

[Kapital]

Wished Michael Jackson had the same great face like this figure.

[Shropt]

That may be the most awesome 1/6th collectible ever made.

[LoneWolf]

Hot Toys is really the authority for 1:6 scale figures for how many years now! No contest!!!! Who would've thought the Iron Man movie line was not yet done, when we thought they're already developing Iron Man 2 figures?!?! :)

[blakus939]

It's a good thing i don't have much interest in Iron Man and havn't seen the movie, because that would be an easy buy. A thing of beauty! Looks freakin perfect! And accessories like that just cannot be beat!
Well done HT, now THAT is an ICONIC look!

[Jokes & Bats]

ahah for once I'm not impressed by a Hot Toys figure. I don't like the sculp looks very plastic / not life like and I see no point in a figure representing that scene in the film. Don't get me wrong I love Iron Man and have Mark 3 but I'm just not impressed by this.

[Snake Eater]

Wished Michael Jackson had the same great face like this figure.

RDJ never played MJ in any role? :confused:


:monkey3

[hairlesswookiee]

Looks good but I'm gonna pass. Already need the MK1 suit and I we haven't even seen what's coming for the next movie. Congrats to those who're buying!!!

[hairlesswookiee]

Wished Michael Jackson had the same great face like this figure.

How are they supposed to get a 1/6 sculpt correct when they couldn't get his face correct in real life???:monkey3

[Centrocal]

Hey this could make a good Sherlock Holmes custom without the beard.

[8899]

Awesome!:ted

[IronFingaz]

Looks bad ***!!! And some great stuff included. Might have to get one.

[slipknotpredator]

NICE!!! but IM2 figures are coming...i`ll wait.

[Snake Eater]

Hey this could make a good Sherlock Holmes custom without the beard.

Just wait for HT to make him. :)

[CREG Customs]

Yes please... I'll take 2 :D

[Darkseed]

Dammit HT. I was gonna pass but this is simply amazing completely different from what I expected. 1Q is gonna start 2010 with a bang.

[SOLIDSNAKE]

SWEET JESUS !!

that loooks unreal. Head sculpt is amazing.
WOW !!!

A must have for me !

[Penn]

Now that is impressive. Excellent. The backdrop and robot adds sooo much to this.

[Snake Eater]

The mouth sculpt is so spot one.

Such a cool, interesting figure.

[Snake Eater]

Thanks darren. Looks brilliant.

Looking forward to seeing the newly designed parts of the body.

[Blu Falcon]

Frak yeah! :rock

And anyone who denies the likeness this time can lick peanuts. This is RDJ.

[ChronoBreak]

This was sculpted by Kojun!!

[mikedanger]

sold...there is nothing else to say

[DarthTrafford]

That looks awesome!
A must have for sure!
Any idea when SSC will be putting it up for sale?
:chew

[Mad Old Lu]

That is truly amazing! I almost wish it didn't come with the robot though, cos I'm sure that's going to send the price through the hemisphere!

[wookster]

ahah for once I'm not impressed by a Hot Toys figure. I don't like the sculp looks very plastic / not life like and I see no point in a figure representing that scene in the film. Don't get me wrong I love Iron Man and have Mark 3 but I'm just not impressed by this.

Wha... wha?:dunno

Hey this could make a good Sherlock Holmes custom without the beard.

Thought the same thing!

[breakersrevenge]

One of the best HT figs I think!!

Bet HT has fingers in the Sherlock already!!

[yautja31337]

wow, the headsculpt is spot on. great RD Jr. likeness!!!

[robbiethepainter]

So who is going to be the first to chop it up and put it on the Mark 1?

[HollandX]

ROBOT!!!!!!!!

[RIDDICK]

Kojun continues made memes without emotion and with incorrect actors anatomy...
Well at least his sculpt looks very cool :peace

http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv262/RIDDICK0911/Ironman/42fcfe5a.jpg

Whatever this is a stunning set ala "Godfather" and I just cant not take it into my collection!!! :joy

[robbiethepainter]

He nailed the mouth. But his eyes aren't there. It could be the expression but just missing something. No doubt the best RDJ to date.

[Snake Eater]

Perhaps could benefit from slightly larger eyes.

Regardless, kick-***.

[Centrocal]

^^ Im gonna post your on their facebook :D

[Raikirik]

Since the boots light up on this one, I wonder if the boots will light up on the figures for the armors.

[minivader]

cool figure! the likeness is there, just not 100%, but its miles better than the 2 HS we have got so far. The rest looks to be top HT quality. Not sure if I really need this figure, might just get the head to replace the ones we got in mk3 and others.

[Indiana Fett]

100% AMAZING! I can't wait to display this between the MARK I and the MARK II!!! Love the clear rod and diorama base/robot arm to make it more of a 1/6 diorama than just a figure. WAY cool!!! :rock :rock :rock

[Voorhees27]

Kojun is a MACHINE! That is the best human sculpt made to date! Period. WOW!

[King Darkness]

DAMN!

Thats a phenomenal figure!!!

A must buy for sure!

[The Ringer]

Love how they are starting to sculpt necks!

[Buttmunch]

Fantastic figure and accessories/diorama! And to think some of you ignored the video with this being teased in it thinking it was canceled DX figure. :lol

[coolkansaswind]

wow .... i dont know if i can keep up with HT

[iron.jedi83]

simply amazing a work of art and a must buy for me

[blakus939]

Let's just hope the production piece turns out that good! I think the only thing that needs tweaking, is to mute those vertical mouth to nose lines, other than that, looks sweet. And the eyes could use a little more purpose, instead of a blank kind of distant stare.
Also was going to say, is that a seperate head and neck again? If so, how come HT seem to be doing that again? I thought they were done with the old style and were including the neck in the HS, which looked great!

[galactiboy]

That head sculpt is just unreal... HT continues to surprise and out-do themselves :bow

[beachfox]

Sweet... another collection for me!! ;)

[Raikirik]

What do you guys think the exclusive is going to be? Probably the robotic arm?

[darren1228]

The robotic arm is going to be included with the regular version. I don't think there is going to be an exclusive version...at least they didn't advertise one at Toyhunters.

[Darkseed]

http://i690.photobucket.com/albums/vv262/RIDDICK0911/Ironman/42fcfe5a.jpg


It is easy to look at two pictures approximately the same size and point out flaws. In truth the figure head approx the size of a quater to half dollar. IMO the detail and resemblence on something that size is amazing.

I stated another IM figure wasn't needed (which it isn't) but this figure, sculpt and accessory package is impressive. HT "brought it" and now I will buy it. Well done HT.

[seniram6]

Geez at this rate I might as well just send Hot Toys my G.I. Bill and disability pay checks. Well done, great figure with great accessories a must for my collection!

[tigerfeet]

at last a formal anoucement....I saw this in hot toys offices 3 weeks ago and wanted to say something here but was sworn to secrecy.....he looks very good up close :banana

a simple must buy for me.....:joy

[Raikirik]

That's a relief. :)

[uscmhicks]

thats awesome. I wont be picking it up though , just the mark VI for me I think.

[Bentargett777]

im def gonna get this guy along with bd iron man my mk 1 is lonely

Sooooo....what else did you see? :naughty

Just kidding. Bet you had a blast.


Think the hair could benefit from being a little lighter brown.

[playafree]

man, i woke up to this? AWESOME! i'm sold on this for sure.. way too cool!! Blade and now this? Damn!

I like this version. And this was cool for hand and foot have light.

No need to think. Get it.

Such statements are nothing more than attacks to assert yourself - absolutely no constructive criticism or even some logical thinking about the sabj. Do not talk to me like this pls, we should be demanding... though the measure-line is necessary too :)

[vodoun]

So there's no exclusive parts on this like the Battle Damage Iron Man...

[tigerfeet]

ok here is a pic :rolleyes:, you will note I have deleted everything else from around him to hide figures not announced yet !! I have purposely choosen this one as unsure whether it is the one on the official annoucement thus the slightly shadowed nature of the pic.

http://i449.photobucket.com/albums/qq215/tigerfeet101/Humans/stark.jpg

Leonidas was also on show next to him although not in frame of this picture....

[Kuzeh]

Holy ????!!!
This is just amazing!!!
Wow!!! :rock!!
I'm not a fan of Super-hero figures in their regular clothes...
but this one is just too cool!!! :rock!!!

Very awesome of you man, thanks. :)

T1 and T2 perhaps?

[The Mike]

Can you at least tell us whether or not Iron Man 2 figures were on display. Not who or what, just if they were there...

[tylerdurden]

at last! an rdj headsculpt that actually looks like him. and the rest of it is pretty top notch too. but how come they didn't show any of the light-up features on the boots?

i won't be getting this figure, but i'm very very tempted to get just the headsculpt loose later in the aftermarket, and pop it onto my mark1. :rock

Interesting that they are including a pair of shoes...does that mean the mechanical pieces can be removed? Or do they want you to go out and buy another true-type?

[pjam]

Doesn't get much better than this.

Thanks for the pics Darren, any pics of the BD next to it you can post?

Well judging from this pic, it looks as if the leg panels can be removed.

Think there are some in the BD Mark III post. No one posted any new pics of the BD version when I looked today

[ck1]

Perfection!

Love the fact that there is a backdrop too.

Lets hope it fits into a detolf!

[RIDDICK]

Interesting that they are including a pair of shoes...does that mean the mechanical pieces can be removed? Or do they want you to go out and buy another true-type?

I hope that if removing the sweater and all mechanical parts he will turn set into somethink like this:

[Toast]

Omg that is f'n legit! :rock

headsculpt is awesome!

[plasmid303]

I don't see how anyone could complain about anything on this figure.

Good job, HT.

[The Mike]

Interesting that they are including a pair of shoes...does that mean the mechanical pieces can be removed? Or do they want you to go out and buy another true-type?

It looks like from the seam that they open probably with the peg hole at the bottom of them? So you can display him holding the boots and working on them?

[Snake Eater]

Lets hope it fits into a detolf!

Didn't think of that yet. :(

Guess he will have to live on my desk if not.

[darren1228]

Having the option to display him working on the boots would be very nice. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

[darren1228]

The intense expression is nice for a change. HT should try it more.

[Snake Eater]

Fairly confident they will be removeable.

[uscmhicks]

Is there usually that split in the neck ?

http://toy-world.com.hk/forum/attachments/month_0912/20091205_834cb95f27e618aa53aeMCERRJYalKTZ.jpg

[daikkenaurora]

WOW... just wow.

[iron.jedi83]

Interesting that they are including a pair of shoes...does that mean the mechanical pieces can be removed? Or do they want you to go out and buy another true-type?

maybe they knew how hard it was for people to kitbash a tony stark figure with the first HS they put out so its like another incentive to get this figure

[Snake Eater]

Is there usually that split in the neck ?

No, I think this is part of the new body perhaps. A sculpted neck joined to a regular TT. Kind of like the rubber bodies set up.

[hawkeye]

Looks great.Must buy.The paint app in the face is awesome

[Centrocal]

Can anyone explain what the 'ABS material body' is supposed to be?

[yodasan]

ahah for once I'm not impressed by a Hot Toys figure. I don't like the sculp looks very plastic / not life like and I see no point in a figure representing that scene in the film. Don't get me wrong I love Iron Man and have Mark 3 but I'm just not impressed by this.

Are you sure you are looking at the same figure as everyone else???

[Devil_666]

They killed the head sculpt. Absolutely perfect.

[NotDolls]

This is the greatest thing to EVER HAPPEN!






Since the Battle Damaged one at least.

[FLOSI]

Very nice figure. Best sculpt of RDJ I've yet. Still, no interest at all... I think this is for hardcore IM fans. IMO.

[RIDDICK]

Can anyone explain what the 'ABS material body' is supposed to be?

LINK (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrylonitrile_butadiene_styrene)
*I guess*

[meanstreak]

I will most likely buy, but i'm scared to see what Hot Toys is gonna do with Iron Man 2.

[Marvel-ous]

I'll pre-order this as soon as it's up. Can't stop...these figs are just too much...this one is just freakin' awesome. When I get both my BD and test suit ones, that'll make 5 IM figs...plus upcoming IM2's, whatever they are. Love it!

[Devil_666]

Not sure if it would even be possible, but this would look sick:

:lol :lol :lol




You scared me there 666 :horror …I thought it was a new version …looks amazing. :joy

OMG:horror:horror:horror:horror

I am just hoping and praying I will not deviate from my current path anymore...... TDK, TS and now IM :duh

[vodoun]

Does that mean you'll be paralyzed from the waist down due to your lady?... in the coming 4 - 6 months then?

Yeah, I'm only into the Batman and Iron Man lines as well. I thought Michael Jackson was going to be 1 or two figures, but it seems that line is slowly branching out as well. :/

[pjam]

Not sure if it would even be possible, but this would look sick:

http://www.sideshowcollectors.com/gallery/watermark.php?file=6657

Totally. Def planning on picking up this head to go w My BD EX.

[Figurefreaks]

I love the more intense look of this new head …it adds more life to the character. :cool:

:joy

[Azrael23]

Oh my damn! :horror:horror that figure is my 2010 priority figure.

[Blu Falcon]

I thought for sure HT couldn't top the Mark I or BD Mark III. Man, was I wrong.

Head sculpt is perfect :rock

Very cool for IM fans. The amount of figures in that line is amazing considering it consists of the same character. M1, Mech Test, M2, M3, M3 BD plus the silly version.

What would be an amazing exclusive? :confused:

[holtrax]

If your into iron man hot toys is really spoiling you at the moment. This figure is fantastic. I couldn't agree more with other posters in that i thought they couldn't top the iron man mark 1 but they have with this figure. Its like they minaturised tony stark from the movie and froze him. The headsculpt is near perfection. If it gets better then this...robert downey jnr may start suing them. You can't even describe these things as figures anymore that would be doing a disservice to how good they are.

Jez i just can't wait until they start releasing the figures for iron man 2 especially war machine!

[Devil_666]

What would be an amazing exclusive? :confused:

Very cool, but I will say this:

So there is no exclusive parts in this? wont really matter who you order from on this one...

Ohhh, I thought he meant that even if they charged more for it that it would still sell. Oops.

April or May is great. You know how there tend to be delays, usually. I'm glad these are spread out.

How Hot Toys can keep there prices so reasonable is beyond me. I am not complaining at all.:D

[creecher]

Not sure what you mean by a reasonable price. The figures wouldn't cost them more than 25% of the selling price to make. That'd give them plenty of lee way to accommodate their customers in these particular economic times, but have no fear, they'll go up again. They always do.

[Raikirik]

Sometimes they change it closer to the release date though :(

[Master Wayne]

That headsculpt is EPIC!

[Blu Falcon]

I'll wait for it to go up for sale at Sideshow like I usually do. Helps me earn points and I can always ask for Flexpayments if I'm stretched.

[gdb]

I wonder if that sculpt is going to be the basis for the masked head of the Battle Damaged Iron Man figure now.

[jlprjlpr]

very nice!

So when and where does it go on sale?

Will Sideshow have it up for Pre-order?

[Raikirik]

Maybe that's why they withdrew the first attempt.

Every version has been so far, and they've all sold out. Don't know why this would be any different. Unless Sideshow just doesn't care about making money anymore.

I can't believe the price on this though! Considering Final Battle John Connor was around $180-$190 (special base, hydrobot), I would've thought the price on this would be at least $180. Oh well, I'm not complaining! :D

[Hydeous]

Does this one come with the sculpted neck as well? If it does, then I guess I'll use it for my stark jericho suit bash, if it doesn't, then I can also use it for mark 3.

while i love this figure and can't wait to preorder, the one thing i was unhappy with were the eyes. THIS nails it!! now that is a 100% perfect RDJ. i don't they'll change it though - they've had such positive response so far, they'll probably roll with what they have.

[kicked in]

I tried to see the RDJ likeness in previous versions, but this one definitely nails it. Guess Hot Toys is getting more of my money. I'll be living in a cardboard box soon.

[Hydeous]

Just check those toy wolrd pics, I'm glad that these doesn't come with those sculpted neck, which means it can fit onto mark 3 as well :rock

[Morbach]

I agree with that. It took them a while but they finally nailed it. Now I wish they'd get a Bale head that great.

[MaulFan]

which means it can fit onto mark 3 as well :rock

VERY impressive figure and Kojun definitely captured RDJ wonderfully, as well as a more RDJ paint job too.

As far as using this with Mark 3, you probably won't be able to, Mark 3, and I assume Mark 2 as well, uses a larger ball joint than standard HT figures, and likely this head uses the standard kind and won't fit on the Mark 3, maybe if you pull out the ball joint plug it will, but keep in mind you can't just throw any head onto the Iron Mans because of the ball joint difference, maybe BD Mark 3 will use standard size.

[jackyonfire]

This version is different. And this prototype look great.

[alpha826]

off topic, but the working light in the center chest piece gives me hope for a glowing green lantern emblem for the future HT movie GL figure (assuming there is one).

on topic however, that RDJ headsculpt is sick! the picture that has the manipped eye enlargement makes it look much much better

[cyrix]

wow, this tony stark is fantastic !

You might still able too. I remember someone here in the threads mentioned that they were able to put the Tony Stark Head from the Mark 3 figure on a regular truetype neck by swapping out the inside rubber socket thing. Never tried it myself, but it may work out.

[salvatore]

I love it, just amazing ! Best Tony Stark head !!

[plasmid303]

I bet $145 (of Monopoly money) that this will be slightly out of scale with the current HT Iron Man figures. I mean, considering the HT IM figures are either a bit too slim or a bit too short (Mark I), there's no way Tony is going to perfectly fit in if displayed together.

[Darth Caedus]

Cool figure, but I'll save my $$$$ and wait for the IM 2 figure personally...

[LipSmack]

I love this so much,

that's a good point dude. never thought about this. i wonder if posing it with bent knees in flying mode could possibly create the illusion it's in scale. having said that, a head comparison alone will probably be a scale issue.

oh well, guess it goes on a different shelf.

[Deckard]

Holy ????, thats incredible. Will own this for sure.

[Silent Bob]

Didn't think anything would top the mark I.
Then they announced the battle damaged mark III.
Now this??? Best yet IMHO !!
I want it yesterday!!!!

[a-dev]

Wow! Only just seen this. I've only got the original Mark III as I'm not a major fan of Iron Man but this one is incredibly tempting. The whole thing is just stunning! Look at that headsculpt! As someone said on the first page its surely a contender for figure of the year 2010 already.

And this is a standard MMS??? What the hell do we need DX for, look at all the stuff you get with this thing! Its an entire diorama unto itself!

I swore I wouldn't order anything else for a while but....april 2010...I can swing that can't I?..Damn you Hot Toys.

[DinoLast]

It looks really cool, but I will hold on for War Machine.
By the looks of things he should not be far behind Stark and I will need the extra pennies because I doubt it will be cheap.
I would also like a Iron Man from the new movie too

Tony is shorter out of costume than in. Tony is 6' while in the suit he is 6'3" which means that if his is shorter than the Mark 3 it'd actually be IN scale.

[plasmid303]

Tony is shorter out of costume than in. Tony is 6' while in the suit he is 6'3" which means that if his is shorter than the Mark 3 it'd actually be IN scale.

No, I meant the opposite of what you said. The Tony Stark figure will be too tall and too big to appear as if he would actually fit inside a Mark II/III by HT. As for the Mark I, from what I've read and seen it is slightly shorter than its sleeker cousins. If HT follows their usual rubric when it comes to height/scale, this figure will be very close to 12", if not exactly that -- the specs even read "Approx. 30 cm", same as most other HT figures.

[Devil_666]

Tony is shorter out of costume than in. Tony is 6' while in the suit he is 6'3" which means that if his is shorter than the Mark 3 it'd actually be IN scale.

:confused: I must seriously be missing something here. He's wearing the Iron Man boots. So he should be the exact same height as the Mark II/III. Right? The helmet fits snug against the head, so it doesn't add any height. And the rest of the armor might bulk him up, but not make him taller.

Well you can even see this with the custom Tony Stark figures with a TT and the Mark III head sculpt + HT Man Suit. There's no way THAT could fit into the Mark II or III suit. It's simply too slim. But it still looks cool and most people don't really think about that. So displayed together I don't think it'll matter much. The Mark I is a different matter, because like you said it's too short to begin with (shorter than the Mark II and III suits). So there's not much you can do about that.

[The Entity]

This figure really looks amazing!!!

I don't own any of the earlier Iron Man figures and I wanted to wait to see what the Iron Man 2 license brings, but this just looks amazing!!
Now I'm seriously thinking of buying this one!

[a-dev]

Presumably he's going to be the size of any other human HT figure and the fact is no other human HT figure would fit inside the Iron Man II and III suits. They clearly paid no attention to having a realistic scale relationship between figures. When do they ever though. The Predator is barely any taller than Dutch and hes actually less buff too.

But if we really wanna talk about scale surely the movie Iron Man should have been bigger than he was. Its no good sticking a guy in a suit of armour without layers of cushioning inside or else any dent the armour receives could potentially be as fatal as if he were wearing no armour at all.

Here is how it works. As for the shoes I'm guessing that Hot Toys wants you to go out to buy a True-Type to bash a Stark in suit. Or perhaps you can take off all the armor and put on the shoes.

I was thanking you for the pics showing the clip. Yeah, thanks again.They did a good job oh hiding that in the Hot Toys pics, just as they don't show the figure wearing the accessory shoes. Guess some pics will come out later to confirm the leg armour can be removed, along with the rest of his mechanical devices. Looks like the heart device is part of the strap and not embedded into the figure itself. Wonder how many battery compartments he'll have.

[plasmid303]

There were photos of an early unpainted prototype of those armored boots, and they were opened, suggesting that they can be removed.

Judging by this pic, I'd the arc-reactor is embedded into the figure. You can see where the strap has shifted a bit.

This makes me think that you can take all the mechanical devices off the figure and have a good representation of Tony Stark. :)

- ABS material TrueType body with newly designed chest, forearms and forelegs

This is one of the most impressive figures I've seen in a while. I'm trying really hard to not order this.

I'm trying to only get maybe one version of each character, and therefore the main version (in this case... Stark in the suit).

This scene was great in the film, and this figure is REALLY impressive... the sculpt, the mechanical parts, the backdrop/floor, the fire extinguisher robot (a great addition!), the 'flying' stand... such a great looking figure. But I don't want to end up like some people with 6 different versions of every character that comes out. lol... too much money, too much space, and too messy as a display

Didn't notice that before, thanks for drawing my attention to that specific pic. It looks to me like it's a floating lens, perhaps, or that whatever locks the outer lens in place was somehow unhinged whilst they set up that pose. Even so, the arc reactor probably still has it's own lens.

Going back through the thread, now that I have more time, I see more pics showing the slipping outer lens. Post 42 initially and more examples at post93. Thanks again darren1228. I see you asked virtually the same question, as mine, at post 97.

Maybe the jumper he is wearing is permanently fixed due to the embedded arc reactor. The left arm looks like it has a cuff above the arm device, and that he has a long sleeved shirt under the short sleeved jumper, but that could another of my assumptions.

At this point, without being able to view the You Tube vid I don't think it shows the boots can be removed, not that they can't mind you, but, to me, it looks like they are slightly apart, at least, to enable assembly, of course, but once snapped together they may not be removable. Due to the electronics, even the arm devices may not be removable either, meaning only one batter compartment would be necessary, and perhaps, likely.

It's early days yet. Down the line more pics, or a post with the You Tube vid, rather that a screencap, will hopefully reveal the actual case.

I think by looking at the figure from all these pics, that there are perhaps 2 battery compartments.

I think one's in the body itself and powers the Arc-reactor, and the other, which powers the gloves and boots is in the big pouch on his belt. You can see cables running from that thing and I know he had those cables in the movie too, but what if Hot Toys managed to use the cables in a way cables are actually used?

This (if they did it that way) is a great opportunity to give a figure removable electronic devices, because the cables don't need to be built inside a figure but actually require to be seen.

I took the opposite approach from a having a single representation to collecting a certain theme. It saves money, space while keeping the display up to standard.

I collect Marvel / DC movie licensed 1:6 figures (not all). I may have a few different versions of Ironman in my display but it isn't mixed with POA, Predator's, Mars Attacks, Aliens etc.

I was going to pass on this figure. I assumed $150.00 for a new RDJ sculpt wasn't worth it. It is an amazing figure with a decent amount of accessories plus to sculpt to warrant (IMO) dropping $150. I hope you can resist, I got sucke din :lol

This is one of the most impressive figures I've seen in a while. I'm trying really hard to not order this. I'm getting the Mk III BD (my first and only Iron Man figure) ....and due to finances, space, and trying to keep my collection looking neat lol... I'm trying to only get maybe one version of each character, and therefore the main version (in this case... Stark in the suit).

This scene was great in the film, and this figure is REALLY impressive... the sculpt, the mechanical parts, the backdrop/floor, the fire extinguisher robot (a great addition!), the 'flying' stand... such a great looking figure. But I don't want to end up like some people with 6 different versions of every character that comes out. lol... too much money, too much space, and too messy as a display

help.... lmao

How can anyone resist this? :D
I have IM BD on order and now this and I can work both into the same diorama to display. I am glad I resisted the other IM so far :banana

My LCS is selling at $133... consider cheap or expensive..?

That is a great price! Plus you can just pick it up and not have to spend $15 on shipping.

[Platty]

That sculpt is phenomenol.

And the backdrop and clear stand are brilliant.

Gotta love the armour on the figure as well.

I haven't even seen iron man and I appreciate this figure for how brilliant it is.

This and the 300 King Leonidas are amongst the best figures hot toys have ever done IMO. They are a sensational company.

Very cool, but I will say this:



Still waiting on an announcment of a HT Movie Hulk!!!


Agreed :rock :rock

[LChinoz]

Amazing figure! I am not a big enough fan to buy it, as I have none of the IM figures and don't plan on getting them...but this is the best one yet for sure.

Looks like the boots are removable. From toy-world...

Did anyone here actually doubt that the boots would be removable?

Don't see why anyone thought they would be definitely removable. You would think that Hot Toys would advertise the boots being removable in the specs. Plus the Mark I was shown like this ...but the parts weren't removable at all.

What sort of question is that? Why shouldn't anyone here doubt anything? Because unless it has been confirmed, who's to know? Two people have raised a question mark of whether the boots were actually removable or not, and I bet others would be interested to know for sure, one way or the other. Not that it would deter anyone from buying it, in any case. Do you see any pictures of him without them? darren 1228 has shown another piece of the puzzle, but the script needs translation to know for certain if there is any indication as to why the boots were pictured separately.

It's a great figure, but as always when Hot Toys shows initial pictures the fan boys swoon. There needs to be some balance and healthy skepticism. It's not the greatest or best Ironman figure yet. What are the shoes for? The extra hands don't look all that different from the ones the figure already has. Their both sets of open palmed hands. It doesn't have that many accessories. A cardboard backdrop, robot arm, hands and shoes. What so great about that? The robot arm. The best thing is the greatly improved but not perfect head sculpt. The clear pole for the stand will undoubtedly be the same as what other companies have provided and be very brittle.

It's a great addition to the Ironman range, but unless we get some confirmation as to what is removable we may be stuck with the figure as it is. Either posed in mid air or not. Everyones display being almost the same. Of course, people will customize the figure in order to get a greater range of poseable options and figure variations, but straight from the box it's going to be limited.

I assumed they are removable cuz he comes with shoes... you guys really tackled that guy lol

What's weird is that they don't even show the shoes in the promo pics.

Yes, I assume so as well. You remove the boots and put on the shoes. Easy. The light tube to the boots is blocked off by the shoes, the same as the Mark's lit open palms are, when changed over to the fists. Makes sense. I'd still like some confirmation from an authoritative source.

I wasn't trying to tackle plasmid, but he did refer to darren and me in a round about way, because we both questioned the removeability of the boots, regardless of what we might actually believe. As if it were wrong or stupid to do so. That's how it came across to me. If my reply came off as a personal attack, it wasn't meant to be.

So what's the difference between the hand sets? They look exactly the same to me.
