1/6 Hot Toys - Iron Man 3: MMS197D02 Mark XLII Diecast Series Official Spec/Pics

Mine showed up yesterday. I love it! It's by far my favorite Iron Man figure so far.

 

[TheGDBatman]

holy hell. How are you guys getting the batteries in the helmet? The magnets are killing me

 

[Alainator]

Got mine a couple of days ago. Awesome figure! But I would not recommend everyone to use the screw driver that HT provided. It seems a little small.

The box alone on this figure is awesome! It's way, way heavier than any of the other figures. I'm wicked impressed with this one!

C'mon, ship you mofo !!!

I stacked the batteries up in angled tweezers and popped them in at one go. Before that I had fun trying to keep them off the magnets.

 

[TheGDBatman]

Thanks. I got them in on the head and chest but don't have a screwdriver that fits for the arms. The head and chest are the most important for me so I'll just ignore the arms.

One thing to note which scares the hell out of me is the right shoulder seems to be stuck. Left one rotes fine but the right doesn't turn at all. Even if I do the popout thing.

My right shoulder is tight as well. It will rotate if I grip it at the bicep. Give it a somewhat firm twist and see if it moves. Mine loosened up after rotating it.

I don't know if it is stuck or just stiff. His right arm (my left) moves easier then his left (my right). I first thought his right (my left) was broken, then I realized I had to push it in. Didn't know it pulls in and out at the shoulder socket. Almost lost my Schmidt. I'm having problems getting his arm into the firing position. Scared to move it.

Does this help you at all? The person explains how the mechanics work. It seems like you have to work the arms in gently up and down near the shoulder instead of grabbing near the hand.

I gave up...

 

[joeaux]

God this thing is so yummy. Best HT has done. Arms a bit stiff to rotate, but if you're careful with it, well you know. I can't get over how wonderful this figure is.

 

[joeaux]

As far as the batteries in the helmet, I know you're gonna **** on me for this but check the instructions. I had the same problem till I spread the outer helmet piece like it says to. Then it's all gravy.

I think what he meant was because of the damn magnets the batteries kept coming out of the compartment...

 

[HDGuy84]

My arms are fine... But the helmet faceplate is missing magnets.

 

[moose]

Got this sucker in today and it comes with the new style of joints for the shoulders so we will see if these indeed last

 

[CDIronNuts]

Figure is awesome. I am touching this thing with kid gloves. I don't know how Optibotimus and Shartimusprime do it. They just move it all about. Pics to follow. Definitely worth it. AND, the Mark 43 shouldn't take as long BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

 

[Mr Walker]

The point being made earlier MrWalker, was that unfortunately Neo-one's purchases from Iconicfigures are now well outside of the standard eBay and PayPal protection.. and may also be outside of any protection from Neo-one's bank.

Why are you repeating the obvious to me?

Sweet pic. You've got the ones with the updated shoulders, right?

 

[TheGDBatman]

Alright here is the GodDamn Batman's official mk42 pics. Overall I absolutely love this figure and especially the BD look. Aside from the IM3 Tony I have I don't see the need for another Iron Man on my shelf (aside from the NECA 1/4). The joints and movements were scaring me to death so I only did a few poses and equipment switches. I finally got the right (updated) shoulder to unstick and right now I think I have the full range of motion everywhere. I couldn't open the arms to put the batteries in so no light up hands. Love the weight and look of the diecast. I tried to not boost the vibrancy or saturation as to keep the colors how they look in person.
Anyways enjoy:
