Agreed...pretty much what I said regarding the price back in post #7239 (https://www.sideshowcollectors.com/forums/showthread.php?t=152931&p=8675451&viewfull=1#post8675451)

Yeah sorry. It's a crappy cell phone, sent from my friend in China, then posted by me with my cell. Lol
Anyway...
I had a convo a bit ago about the paint on this beast. For the person (sorry I can't recall who it was off top my head) that wanted the faceplate more shiney..here you go. It is. It's not the same as the 45, and I still think it shouldn't be, but it's is much more reflective then the rest of the gold.

Well, guess we may see him by Christmas at Secret Base… maybe not though, at this point.

Your backpedal game is tuned Motu. It was TimothyR and myself you had a "convo" about this with. You were adamant that it was not more reflective than the rest of the gold on the suit, posted lots of bad photos to help prove your opinion, ignored our points and called us idiots, and then swore up and down that hot toys would produce it to match the 43.
This is why people have a hard time trusting you dude. You can't put forward your opinions as facts and expect people to be able to discern between the two. The 'ol boy who cried wolf thing.

I didn't put that forth as fact. In fact I am pretty up front that unless it comes directly from hot toys on official pressers EVERYTHING is rumor and opinion. I've said it over and over.
As for this discusion, the point of which was that the hulkbuster will not and should not look like the paint on the mk45....guess what, that's still the case. And that was the point I was arguing, so the whole cried wolf...not really gonna apply. It still doesn't look like the mk45.
Below is what I said that started that whole thing. And, it's still the case. I was just trying to point out that even though it's not the same as the 45, it's still more reflective them much of the figure. That doesn't negate my point, nor the fact that the faceplate is dull in some scenes and you can call my photo I posted "blurry crap" all you want.
I was trying to be nice and throw you a bone that it's more like you wanted it to be, without throwing in anything about my point or rehashing the argument or, frankly, being a **** like you just did. Making it personally. Just Becuase things turn out differently doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about or any of the other crap insinuated in your post. You find me one person who is a reporter, insider (ala Adam sheffter on ESPN or heroic Hollywood on the internet over films) or anything else that doesn't get things wrong, or have an opinion or guess about what's going on or coming up that is right every time. It doesn't happen. Yes, I get things incorrect. Shocker. That doesn't mean I don't know what I'm talking about or have a good base or information and contacts. And this discusion had nothing to do with any of that crap anyway. It was based on me looking at the film, the five other figures produced, the marketing, and everything else and coming to an opinion. How that equates, if I was right or wrong, to being able to relay information or explain how things are done I don't see.

I heard that the delay was because HT is waiting to see who wins this argument so they can choose the final paint app. True story.

I quit 17 years of smoking several months ago to fund my Hulkbuster. Nothing will keep us apart.
Holy smokes (pun somewhat intended), but kudos to you~
Keep it that way.. we live longer to enjoy our figures lol

That's the only reason I could imagine for the delay

Nice post motux.
Finally i'm all caught up with 10 or so pages of news, opinions, disappointments and disputes. C'mon guys, let's just get along..no one's particularly got the facts from main sources anyhow. Each of us are providing a perspective. Everyone's entitled to their opinions~ For instance, there's nothing wrong with breaststroke swimming. It'd be a bonus if we can all backstroke swim though. We are HT HB fans -that much is certain. Let's share our thoughts or findings and be happy.
Edit: Anyhow, looks like i'll wait the 9 months for HB to arrive. In the meantime i found a new method of lighting up HT HB (and other figures) as well.

Edit: Sorry there Loominus, you drastically edited your post after my dead horse emoji there.
Nice fiberoptics though man! We use that type of lighting allot in my line of work, it can be super handy!

Anyways, let's get some speculation going here. Nobody seems to have a solid lead on any viable reason for a 9 month delay. The delay itself seems pretty exceptional to me, I can't imagine coming in that late on a project of this scale. Not complaining at all, but really... there must be a reason for this, and I'm sure it's an interesting one.
Group hug for all the collectors, high fives to Motu, I'm just happy to be freaky.

Skiller, i suspect they discovered a crucial flaw in their engineering. Especially the legs since it's a make-or-break for the figure. The figure is too robust and heavy to be supported by its ankles (main culprit) and/or knees. With this delay, i presume it's right amount of time to redesign well-toleranced (edit: ratcheted) hinges and cast new moulds. If we look back at HB prototypes, I notice the knees are never fleshed out (look from back of the knees). It makes sense for them to continue manufacturing the parts that are tested to work. But the main delay should be the legs. I could be wrong...but i rarely am ^_^
