Hot Toys - MMS168 - Iron Man: 1/6th scale Mark I (2.0)

[Doctor Who]

I have the first version and this one is on my list to buy too. Gonna have both next to eachother with a tag stating the date they're released.

 

[kaidoy021]

I am buying this!

Still going to keep the original Mark I in my collection.

I am too. Damn the completionist in me!!

 

[Mad Old Lu]

The new headsculpt looks fantastic! But I'll stick with my original. I keep the helmet down anyway.

 

[kaidoy021]

thank you for the comparison.

too bad he doesnt look he's been in captivity for awhile. Looks like he just got out of the shower and shaved. LOL

 

[Johnny U]

I have to have this! :

He is available at Toy Hunter now. I'd have to think we'll see a PO with the next week. Maybe even today.

I ready he is priced between $190-$230 ( overseas ) depending on the retailer.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong but how is this figure only 12 inches? Wasn't the Mark 1 in Iron Man huge compared to all the Afghani terrorists? Here is the best picture I can find of height comparisons.

If he is PO'ing everywhere else then you'll most likely see this pop up sometime today on SSC's site. I don't think there is a lot of hype around it to wait for a big PO.

Looks identical to the first, new sculpt and fire ball aside.

Ditto that.

It's similar enough to the original

It's exactly like the original, except for the new head, cheesy base, and yellow plastic snot blast.

It's a great figure, but this is purely a money grab on Hot Toy's part. Other than the Jorge Stark sculpt and gimmicks, there's nothing to differentiate this release from MMS 080.

Except the price. My Mk.1 cost me $160 about three years ago on preorder. Been loving it ever since, so this is good news for folks who missed out back in '09.

But the lack of innovation, new design specs, or improvement pretty much demolishes HT's claim of "limited edition."

The new boxes should read "Limited (until we fire up the same old molds and crank out some more) Edition Figure"

"Production Limited to 950 million units worldwide (for this year)"

(And no, I'm not sore about the value of my original . . . that's meaningless to someone who doesn't intend to sell.
Folks who buy Hot Toys to "speculate, flip, and make money" are dolts, much like the "collectors" who saturated and destroyed the comic book market in the 90s. Eff 'em.)

Well, that picture doesn't really show because he'd help up by steel bars (see his arms) so he might be higher than he's supposed to be there.

The original release was a bit undersized, which was actually a turnoff for me and one reason I didn't pursue it when first released (even at a discount from Hastings website).

Really? The same?

The new one looks 100 times better!

HS... I'd think he was refering to Mech Test Tony (but with a smaller mouth).....

I originally thought this new sculpt was a mod of the Mech Test one keeping the same basic face, but here they look pretty different. Distance between eyes and length of mouth being most noticeable. Expression on Mark I 2.0 even seems a bit less aggressive. Maybe just a new sculpt from a sculptor that did the Mech Test version? In any case, these two sculpts are the most accurate versions HT has given us IMO, so I'm glad they went more Mech Test and less Mark IV/BD Mark III.

True but I've always expected the Mark 1 to be at least 14 inches..oh well , guess I'm wrong

The Hologram is the Toy Hunter's/Sideshow exclusive. While you might find it gimmicky, if you've got the Mech Test Tony and get all of these parts you have quite a display in the making.

What i take away from this pic... is that Hot Toys now use Photoshop far too much in their previews, not one pic of the 2.0 as it'd appear in reality without all the busy background stuff.

From the side by side pics, if I were an owner if the original who keeps the helmet down all the time, I would saved my money. Folks like me who dîdn't jump inboard wit HT until later is the target audience here. IMO the original has the correct thickness and size. It looks like the armor that stopped all the bullets coming out of the cave. The new one has a lot of body parts showing.

So this with the MK II: U hologauntlet is sort of like a "build-a-diorama" situation?

Looking at these pictures I would agree. I do think, however, that it might be the poses and angle of the shot.
