If they keep pumping them out I'm in so far this is the fifth in that line to be up for preorder
 
$600 and all you have to go on is a couple of blurry photos :slap they really should go back to marketing basics 101 :lecture

Keep pumping what out? They haven't released a single 1/4 figure yet have they?

Nope, they are scheduled for 3rd quarter 2014 release. Another delay and they're looking at 2015 :lol

:goodpost: I don't understand why they're even bothering with this. Has a single fan ever clamored for this suit in any scale? :dunno
 
Is this canonical? When did the War Machine armor look like this?
 
Maybe PI is testing the market. Up till this point PI has not produced any 1/4 scale retail figures. They always blame the set back on Paint QC issues. If you think about it, they are using this figure as a test to see if they can produce a non painted 1/4 scale figure, and call it "RAW" edition. Nobody can complain about paint if there is none. This will prove the market for the actual engineering of the 1/4 scale for them. If they get good feedback, the next stage would be for them to improve their paint process. They are stating limited to 200 units.

I feel 610.00 US is a lot of money for a Naked non painted "RAW" metal figure.

I'd say this would be a good possibility if they hadn't already realease 2 1/6 scale painted Mark VII figures ( Gold editions and standard Red and Gold ). They also did a RAW version of the 1/6 Mark VII and I think it still had paint apps. So this probably does too. There have been several othe QC issues reported. Shoulder pads falling off. Tight joints. Fingers falling off.

I agree that the small amount of people who actually own the 1/6th versions have reported problems. From what I read it seems that Paint is the hardest thing for them to deal with. I never saw the RAW version of Mark VII. If that version had Paint apps then I'm not sure what they are doing here. I just figured this would be a way for them to test out the market and show people they know how to make 1/4 scale metal figures, engineering wise at least. It may be easier to make a 1/4 figure since the parts are a little larger to work with than the engineering on a 1/6th scale. Oh well we can only speculate until we see a real in hand pic.

That may be the case, I just don't understand the decision to release this Raw thing as their introductory figure to the 1/4 scale. Why wouldn't they test the market with an armor that was in the film or popular? I just don't get this company.
 
By announcing such a low edition number they're going for a certain type of IM collector, theres people who would buy it if it had a helmet with bunny ears at that edition size. :lol
 
it's going to come out soon, but I will only buy the mk 42 and maybe iron patriot. the released date is confusing me though. on their fb account they said jul/aug 2014, but on the other fb account (play imaginative store), they said nov/dec 2014. on my email from around nov 2013, they said may/june 2014. I preordered directly from play imaginative singapore for that one
