You can sculpt foam with a hot iron very easy to do.

HT may in fact end up making these in hard plastic, but what we are seeing at the con appears to be foam. For the price there is no way it will be foam. They are not that stupid at $130 bucks a pop.

I bet someone buys them. I know of at least . one person for sure that will . Me. And I doubt I'll be the only one. Would I prefer them cheaper, of course. I'd love them made from platinum or vibranium or adamantium for 1 dollar including shipping, but that's not gonna happen


I think they look cool . No matter what they are made from. That's all that matters to me. If I like it. And then if I can afford it. If hot toys then makes a good profit on it good for them. The more successful they are the more likely I am to continue getting sweet figures and accessories.

You say that now, then you wake up in the middle of the nite to hear, then see cockroaches eating on the delicious foam. No way man these should be plastic and at that price AT LEAST the same quality of the first HOA.

No one should buy these at that price, way cheaper looking than the original hoa and for Christ sakes if that really is styrofoam hts is out of their mind.

There's LED wiring in the them, foam would make that super impractical. It just plastic sculpted to look like concrete.

However if they're REALLY $130 each, Hot Toys is stupid.

LEDs don't generate much heat and it is super easy to inject foam around "hard components".

LOL. But a real thing about the foam and strength is this jewel of knowledge.

If a plastic hall should break, you can glue it. If a foam hall breaks you are screwed. I do not know of anything that can bond foam and not look like **** and still have strength.

At least with plastic there are ways of getting around that to reinforce or use something like JB Weld on it which can be sanded and painted that would not look so terrible. Foam not so much, it tears rips or breaks you are in trouble. Forget about stacking anything on that.

It's the price that is crazy if it's really foam. Foam is easy to mass produce. If these are $130 I'll curse hot toys for milking Ironman. But if they are $60 I'd buy one or two...

Not really, they place the plastic parts into the mold and form the foam around them, we also havent seen the back or top of these so the wiring could be running in tracks... all very possible. Alse look at the side of the piece, all though little circles... same on all the foam inserts I have

Seven pages of foam deliberation, this is great

Re: 1/6 - Hot Toys - IM3 - Hall of Armor (House Party Protocol Ver.) - Spec + Pic

Someone who is at or knows someone who is at SDCC needs to go to the Hot Toys booth ans ask the rep what its made of and what the production version is made of... answer this question once and for all

Re: 1/6 - Hot Toys - IM3 - Hall of Armor (House Party Protocol Ver.) - Spec + Pic

I think Username trolled the **** out of everyone in this thread by arguing on a pro-foam platform and now we're all reaping the rewards of the dumbest fight on the internet lol.

Will someone PLEASE take their Diecast Iron Man packaging and take a look at it? Its the same stuff as this. Strong styrofoam.

Ive said this twice and no one has listened to me, instead debating something that should have been settled half a thread ago!
