He's always been October. It was sc in sep, him in oct, and sb in nov. He might not be delayed only because he may not sell well with such a big price tag. Less preorders means less time needed to get them made.
That makes sense, I'm going with a glass half full outlook on Igor and expecting him in 2015

I'm guessing more in nov. or dec.
With the cost of this figure, I'm thinking he needs to be released before Xmas.. because the Xmas present market will help sales, whereas launching this figure soon after Xmas, when everyone has bills piled up on the desk, would make Igor a real slow seller.

To me, this should have been a hulkbuster armor, so I personally will save my pennies and hold out for the hopes HT comes out with one. However, if it will be larger than Hulk, then I'll need to eat Ramen for the next year and a half.

HB is probably gonna be around the same size as igor, I mean its still gotta be a 1/6 scale, that and I don't what it to be too much bigger, bigger means a lot more money.

Well we know HB has to be bigger than the hulk, and the hulk 1/6 figure is the same size as igor, so I doubt HB will be that size. I'm guessing 20" or more, and yes it will be a lot more money. Hence my Ramen comment

Well I guess only time will tell on that.

Yeah 20" easy, my guess would be 26" , if so thats crazy 1:6 scale, bordering Premium Format

Exactly which is why I don't see it getting much bigger than 24 because at that rate its not really a 1/6 anymore. But as crazy as people are with IM its not beyond the realm of impossible, I mean even if it was $650 people would still buy it lol.

I have no doubt Hulkbuster will be made to 1/6 scale, even if he ends up being 26" and $800. Its an Iron Man armour. An in demand armour. From an Avengers film. Two of Hot Toys' biggest moneymaking licenses. Hulkbuster will be a priority for them and Iron Man/Avenger fans are going to go crazy waiting the 9-12 months after the reveal.
As for Igor, I'm actually hoping he gets delayed a couple of months and/or sticks around into the early months of 2015. Igor is probably my favorite armour from IM3 and his arrival date conflicting with the Batman Armory and Winter Soldier figures is the only reason I haven't Pre-Ordered him. If he is still around early next year, I'm definitely going to look at picking this guy up.

me too I would prefer a delay for this guy, as I originally planned to get him but other figures took priority
+1I am fully expecting Hulkbuster to be larger than Igor and probably the most expensive IM 1/6 armor that HT release.. $800 seems a tad high, I'm hoping for $600-700.. if it is less, that would be awesome.. because of the price, I also expect Igor and Hulkbuster to take a while to sell out at retail (taking Ironmonger as a benchmark).
I have Igor earmarked as my Xmas pressie to me.. so I sure hope he doesn't get delayed.. could get messy, if Santa turns up Igorless!

I wonder if articulation on this guy is limited

From what I heard yes it is limited, but I'll be sure to ask again the guys at ss next week.
