Hot Toys - Iron Man 3 - Mark XXXIX / Starboost

[King Kobra]

What if HT made all suits, that would be fantastic!

I don't doubt it. Will probably continue until may 2015 when avengers 2 comes out, the only problem I have is how long it will take before we see all of them, guess well have to wait 'till July.

Really strange, I was looking forward to this one because the design is awesome- very space shuttle-esque! But when I see the shots put up on the SS website his design feels too bulky in the feet--and those movie screenshots posted earlier are so dark.

The shots from the Secret Base pose almost had me pre-ordering. I may have to pass on this one. Anyone else on the fence like me?

No I wanted this as soon as I knew Hot Toys was making this!!

I guess with these extra iron man suits, I was expecting to see a little more personalization, maybe a Stark head since they have a perfect sculpt of him already. I know it never happened in the movie, but for the money we are paying...

These suits was one of the main reasons I started to get into HT but I really don't want my collection to be 90% IM. I have Marks I and II now, ans SC on preorder. I think that's enough for me.....unless they come out with a kick-*** armor like HulkBuster or something.

Its highly possible to do since majority of the suits have mixmatched parts from other suits, but I dnt think a lot of Hot Toys fans would be upset after Midas' release being a rehash lol.

One can wish tho

Why is this called "Starboost" now?

What happened to "Gemini"?

 

[EXOTICLEX]

I think they actually use the term star boost in the film...or in the art book....

Ive seen both names used but I guess Hot Toys is going with Starboost... Kinda bummed, came to accept Gemini as the name

Im pretty sure they are saving him for avengers:age of ultron. Igor was made because they couldn't use hulkbuster, they wanted to save him for a future film, pretty sure its avengers 2.

This is my exact feeling as well! I think something in the next Avengers film will spark Hulk to turn on the Avengers and the HB suit will make it's debut. In the end they'll shoot Hulk into the cosmos leading to a Planet Hulk film

Weird. I still find 'Gemini' at online sources. "Starboost" sound cheap. But its one of the better unusual armors.

Starboost was actually a chocolate bar from Cadbury in the 1980s.

I almost pull the trigger on this one but I´m very torn between this and the Heartbreaker...second one is winning this far

You've got plenty of time to save up for both man

Well of course it better, this IS his "anti-wormhole" suit. I hope he spent a lot of time on it based on how much he freaks out in IM3

I thought I read somewhere that the Hulkbuster idea was changed due to the exec's didnt want the Hulk be seen as an antagonist after being seen as a hero in Avengers?

 

[Blackthornone]

It looks like they changed the color scheme from white to sky blue. now it reminds me of the Robotech Mospeada Scott Bernard Cycle Armor.

I much prefer the white.

 

[Wor-Gar]

I much prefer the white.

White's better. It connotes a spacesuit.
