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

I can't wait for the destruction videos that people will eventually post of these for faulty merchandise/ packaging etc...

I wonder if the weight of the diecast suits could end up breaking these things... maybe thats a little crazy, but these things don't look like something that could last a few years

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

Anyone know which armor the translucent blue/green one is?

Folks in HK are saying these will be $450 HKD, so roughly $60 US before SS's markup.

Thank you Venom!'

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

I just can't get over how damn cheap these things look. Not that I'd want one for every armor even if they looked perfect but Styrofoam....really?

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

I highly doubt that is made of styrofoam.. Maybe a hard plastic?. The weight of that base plus a figure would be too much to hold

That was my first reaction too.. but when you look at this photo



those circles on the side walls are something you see in styrofoam injection molding

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

Yep, my money's on Styrofoam, too. Man, HT has really got IM fans' number if they'll pay $60.00 US (guessing $80.00 after SSC mark-up) a piece for these. Would love to know what HT's cost on these per unit is. I bet it would shock even the most jaded of us.

And as someone else mentioned, those IM3 stickers on the base make this look even cheaper.

I agree this looks extremely cheap. I don't know if this was in the movie but they also do not have the "glass" cover.

I like the "glass" cover to prevent dust....

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

Yeah, you would definitely want these in an enclosed cabinet... stacked three or four high on a shelf or something would not only be dusty, but if they ever fell it would be a sickening feeling.

This has me wondering how long until HT starts shipping their Iron Mans loose and charging a premium for a box and insert.

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

If it is styrofoam and they're charging $60+, this must be HT's experiment to see if they can print money.

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

I just confirmed that the angle of the triangular piece is 15 degrees.

Based on that you could put 12 in a circle.

I don't see how styrofoam would hold up over time if these were stacked 2,3,4 high with plastic and Diecast figures plus the bases.

Its definitely styrofoam. Do you own any of the Diecast figures? Look at the packaging. Same exact material.

Granted it is particularly durable styrofoam. Kind of a plasticy feel and a tiny bit mailable. But still styrofoam in the end.

Styrofoam can be very strong. My 800 pound gun safe came with Styrofoam in each corner and it kept the safe suspended about 4" from the bottom of the box

If you used adhesive to connect these it would create a very rigid display unit
