I think this is great. Better then a dynamic base Or back drop. Really adds to the diorama setting. With as realistic as these look you could nearly recreate that scene from the movie in a still (with the right lighting and set dress) and wouldn't be able to tell the diff. This with a few hoa(original), a mech test tony or another tony figure, and the accessory pack would make a great display.
Plus if hot toys can make a little extra income using the same tooling we are more likely to keep getting new stuff. The better hot toys does the more stuff we get. I get that there are folks not thrilled with all the iron men stuff...but if it sells that's good for everyone.
Plus look at all the stuff announced in the last few days/weeks. From batman returns to power loader to dark knight JGL to BTTF and Star Wars. Part of that is driven by the success of iron man. It not only shows overall interest in the HT brand and marvel license but that that can reuse some tooling to get more bang for their buck out of it(tooling for figures is hugely expensive and one of the highest costs of making new product). If they see they can make a couple versions of the same figure and it sells then they are more likely to make the first. And with the interest in the accessory pack they now see (or will when it goes on sale) that they can also get income from older releases by updating the uniform or adding weapons via an accessory pack. This is good for everyone.
