I almost bought that one last week. But I bought two of the die cast from onesixthkit instead. As soon as they arrive, I will have two plastic ones to customize. One is gonna get the chromed look. The other will probably get some kind of BD.

The chromed ones are easy to mod. Work out where the BD is going to be and use a paintbrush with acetone(or a q-tip) to remove the red for damage and bullet streaks.
All you need to do then is paint on some charring and other general paint scuffing.
I am working on one right now but it's still a WIP.

I'm hoping they turn out good. I don't like their straps compared to the HT ones but hell, saving $164 is more worth it in my book...

Exactly. You can't beat $24USD shipped.

Wouldnt it be possible to just remove them and slap on the ones from the HT plastic shield?

Or make your own from leatherette.

Since Cap is out and it is bigger than the rest of HT Sixth Scale figures do we think the rest of this line will be too? I skipped GA Cap but wanted Widow and Winter Soldier but not if they are out of scale.

Can you really call it out of scale? Sure he's big but i just think its more screen accurate than previous versions.

They finally got all the proportions right on their latest releases. I'm fine with the new 1/6 scale

They are not all the same though?
MOS is a larger scale than Thor? His head is ginormous next Thors.
Not sure about Cap, will find out on monday.

I agree though taller is better, i wish they could nail proportional consistency.

Well the newer one seem to be of the correct proportion

 

[franpincho]

Wasn't the MOS size the "new scale" HT was going to use from then on? I read that on the MOS thread.

Anthony Tsang (might be misspelled) wants over $400 for this before paypal fees. I thought Clip said he got it for a good price from him...

That was speculation, well I never saw anything official. Truth is MOS is brilliantly proportioned but larger (in scale) than any other figure. I have a pic somewhere with it's head next to the Thor head.
I will dig it up..

Seems right to me, he said 200 pounds street which is Approx $350 USD, $45 dollars express shipping and that's about $400. Math works, still about $50 cheaper than ebay prices.

I'm sure clip paid less, but $400 is still a discount from other outlets right now.

Not only that, but the Silver Centurion and other armors actually look like there a dude inside of them now.

 

[melkorjunior]

That's one of the reasons Silver Centurion will be my first Hot Toys Iron Man figure--it actually looks like Stark can fit in there. Finally the waist, hips and thighs are wide enough. I'll be displaying him with the battle-damaged Stark headsculpt.

Now I just need to pick up a Mark I someday...

Yep! Even the head finally loo Ike the correct proportion! The Mark VII and prior always head heads that were too narrow. And they had to scale down the faces inside of the alternate helmets. That always bothered the hell out of me.

Like why not make it so that if you pop up the actual Headsculpt, that's what you base the helmet around, not counting hair.

But it doesn't look "right" to the eye. Iron Man doesn't and has never been a human proportioned design, and that is the key to the appealing look of it in both comics and the films. In general the proper proportion of human body is "seven heads" tall, which is to say that their total height is seven times the height of their head. Iron Man armor is eight heads tall. So its tall compared to head size, and the waist is narrow with broad shoulders and long legs. This is why even really good cosplay always seems a bit off, because basically no actual human being fits those "hero" measurements. When you make a suit to fit a real person it looks squat and thick.
