I think this is how Hot Toys migh be thinking! That those who have the plastic Mark 6 will be happy for them to have it in HoA then if ever they re-release Mrk 6 as diecast and with the roll out Gantry then some collectors would love to have both the plastic and diecast .. As ive said one in HoA then the diecast in the Roll out gantry... Makes sense win win situation
MARK VI diecast is coming!

I think it's just common sense that they'll make 2 versions, they'll shift more units if they give people the option of no gantry..., that'd be my choice as I have limited space (I'll buy it either way though).
Same here. No gantry for me. No space and I'd rather save some cash.
However reading all these comparisons with HT's Bat-Armory set made me think -- what if HT gives us NO option to get Mark 6 alone? What if the choices would only be:
Mark 6 with Rooftop Gantry (= Armory with Batman)
Mark 6 with Rooftop Gantry + PEPPER POTTS (= Armory with Batman and Alfred)
and
Mark 6 with Rooftop Gantry + Pepper Potts + Tony Stark (= Armory with Batman, Alfred, and Bruce)
If HT goes this route I'll either pass or go with Option 1 and re-sell the Gantry. I think Option/Set 1 alone would cost as much as the full set of Bat-Armory, possibly higher.
Again, (for the benefit of those who find "speculations" hard to understand) just my thoughts and speculations -- I'm NOT claiming them as facts.

they wont and I personally doubt theyll be doing another gantry, first one is still in stock at SSC
Sold out for almost a month now i was to buy one but when i checked it was sold out
...which is why I think HT is only going to pair the MKVI with the gantry. They know collectors will buy anyway.

^^ If they wanted to make lots of money, then they would totally that, given its popularity I've been seeing on the forums. I can see a lot of people selling their gantries, then possibly keeping them after they don't sell.

I intend to go shopping for a plastic Mark VI as soon as the announcement is official, and the prices drop !
So still nothing official in any way whatsoever, right? Basically still speculation?

I can read Chinese. There is no mention of Hot Toys at all in that picture, so it could mean other companies making the figure too
Well it's the same picture used on the Hot Toys Mark VI packaging, and die cast releases and re-issues fit Hot Toys' M.O.

If thats the evidence we're going on then we're in trouble
thats a very basic stock photo used by every company that had anything to do with IM2, and being that I can read Mandarin or Cantonese Its useless to me
But I do want it to be true

I think the rooftop Gantry is really unfeasible, its not a contained block like the armory, its a swooping helipad and stair case that would need display space larger then a 7 set HOA... its not gunna happen

I really feel like this is some prank, and everybody is getting sucked it.
Hopefully I'm wrong

I'm just suggesting reasons why I think people would draw the conclusion that this would be Hot Toys-related. Personally, I would be most concerned about the source before too heavily debating the substance of what was posted. But I do think a die cast Mark VI (and IV) are inevitable.If thats the evidence we're going on then we're in trouble

SO if this does end up turning out to be true..., do we think it's safe to assume that I, II, IV, V & VII will get the same treatment after all then???

I'd consider a MK4 - maybe.. but not this one.

I'd like a mark IV too, I'd get the mark VI as well & wouldn't say no to mark V & VII..., not fussed on mark I & I'm happy with the mark II I've got already.
