I don't own either of those 2..., was considering getting War Machine but now thinking I'll just hang on & wait for diecast versions of these figures.

Why do you think that Hot Toys have never made any Hammer drones? I'd definitely have one of each version.
They probably thought about it, but then they got busy with Avengers which directly led into the giant cash cow that is IM3 landing in Howard's lap.
But now that the cow's udders are getting a bit chaffed, they're revisiting elements of the past IM films so some drones aren't out of the realm of possibility. Though the Chitauri didn't sell like hot cakes* so they might be iffy about doing nameless grunt type figures.
*They're amazing and I still bought 4.

I saw that the Chitauri figures are still available to buy from several retailers I shop with, if they go on sale I might be tempted..., they do look pretty good.

I have one of each Chitauri. They're not worth the original asking price in my opinion, but I got them on sale for about $160 shipped each and I felt comfortable paying that price for them.

They're a bit pricey to be sure, but I think they're worth it considering their shelf presence, size, and engineering of their bodies. I bought the commander and foot soldier set when they first came out, and then picked up two more soldiers for my Avengers display during the Black Friday sale for about $150 each which I thought was a steal.

The 2 pack sets are over £300.00 in the UK (I think they've managed to sell out too) & the individual figures are £170.00 each, if they were Iron Man suits I'd have bought them straight away but once the price comes down I'll get them for a battle scene I want to try & create.
This doesn't come in bottles.
Flesh tone that I see circled for your convenience ... but good point about the party.

It's a red tone because It's a reflection of the Mark IV suit stark was wearing when they were fighting.

I'd say it's flame/fire reflecting. From the fireplace. Rhodey doesn't actually point his hand at anyone other then Tony.
Not sure why you or anyone else thinks this is confirmation or concrete. He said, in poorly translated English, that they have "early plans". Which means they are "thinking" about it. There's no promise they want to do every armor, nor that they even could. By the time they get around to it they may not have the license, or RDJ could say no or marvel could. Or a billion other things could happen. Guy answered a question he's gotten a hundred times. With a standard "nothing to confirm but we would like to/we are thinking about it". Lol what else was he going to say? Switching from injection mold to diecast is an expensive process. And time consuming.
As for the comments that it will look more like metal, or more shiny...the substrate make no difference. It's the paint or material on top. It's funny, with the mark 43 everyone's saying the 1/4 looks so much more like metal then the 1/6, when the the 1/6 actually has metal in it and the 1/4 does not. Here everyone wants the DC but it looks more like metal then the plastic. Lol
It's the paint or foil used on top that makes the surface look as it does. Not the material that gets covered.

I think it's safe to say that if iron man is hinted at then it will get made. For the cost of setting up the diecast process hot toys will make it back and a lot more. If the first 7 were made they will sell out very quick. Mark 4,5 and 6 need a V.2 due to poor fading or inaccurate proportions like Mark 3 was.
Also there seems to be a lot more collectors these days who missed out on the first 6 iron man armors who will buy them also. I will up grade as I haven't seen a hot you upgrade that was worse than the original.
So this is why we can get excited and happy these may be coming. So much negativity on these forums when it's such an awesome time to be a collector with so many cool movies coming out.

I'd consider a die-cast MkIV.
Best armour hands down.

I still kind of new to this hobby so I missed out on a lot of these. I was going to get them via Ebay but now I'm glad I held off. IF this really does happen MK I, V and VI are a must for me. I'll be keeping my fingers crossed 
Any way you slice it, it would be a huge money maker for Hot Toys to do the first seven Marks as die-cast releases.
We all know it... and I am sure they know it as well.

Why do you constantly go for the negative? Seems pointless, the mark III is being done & when we get more (quite possibly to be announced this year), what will you say then? It seems logical to make the mark I & II next as they've made the mark III so I see no reason to think we'll not see any more because of it costing money to make things in diecast, everything costs & we pay a premium for it accordingly..., they've done it before so they'll do it again. Let's not forget we're also getting Whiplash 2.0 in diecast too. Saying they are going to say they'll make them whether they will or not is not very constructive & pretty pointless if you give it some thought. If you don't want something made in diecast that's fine but going on about it not going to happen won't change the fact, they've said they want to make the earlier suits in diecast before & as you said in your earlier comment, it's not new news so that's good enough for me.

Yeah, like Kev said, you really need to **** off with your crap. And I call it crap because you had already posted this on the 5th in this thread after I posted on the topic:
And now on the 8th, and three days later you come back and regurgitate the exact same thing, this time quoting me from days earlier? You seem to feed off eliciting responses, and you love loading your opinion into guns and fire off on anyone with anything different than what you tend to believe. And yes, this is matter of opinion and interpretation. Anyway, despite what you've heard, always being a **** about things isn't cool, and, at least for myself, every time I read your posts I find myself asking, 'what the hell is this guys' problem?'. Digest that however you want.
I have noticed that a lot of people have negative outlooks on what Hot Toys will produce.
I've only been on this forum for a year but there always seems to be a lot of negativity associated with this line
When I said I couldn't wait to get the original 7 in die cast a lot of people said
"We've seen the last of the die cast figures and I doubt the Mark 42 will get made" and now we have Whiplash, the Mark 3 and the Mark 43
When I said I was looking forward to buying a bunch of the HPP all I heard was
"Hot Toys isn't going to waste resources making a bunch of (HPP) armors that had zero screen time" and just last year they released 10 HPP armores and most have shipped
When Hot Toys started releasing the HPP armors the vibe was that they would just do repaints but in reality 8 of the 10 are unique and form Howard's comment it would seem that they want o concentrate on the unique armors instead of re-paints
I could go on but you get the gist. I have a feeling we will get 5-10 opportunities to buy or pre-order armors from the original 7 and the HPP
Companies don't make money but restricting growth and Hot Toys seems to have a pretty good understanding of how this hobby works.
They keep collectors hooked and have established themselves as the premier 1/6 scale figure company
I posted this earlier and I stand by it:
KBA 
Well said,all this negativity **** can **** off,sick of reading it.
