1/6 Hot Toys - MMS285 - Avengers: AOU - Hulkbuster

[BringsTheAwesome]

Dont mind that guy. For someone named "BringsTheAwesome", all I ever hear from him is whining, negativity and pessimism...

Once again, differing views should not be viewed as pessism. No one has argued my points. They revert to name calling or accusatory statements. It's amazing how insecure people get when someone feels differently about something. It's a shame, really. You used to be able to speak your mind here. Lately, I feel if you don't follow the pack, you seem negative. Maybe someone can feel differently about something? Is that difficult to understand? Guess so. I'll do my best to not speak my mind moving forward.

Listen, someone cancelled their HulkBuster preorder. Someone in the forum couldn't understand how they could do such a thing this late in the game. Stating Hot Toys had a moment of triumph. I think you can take the news from Hot Toys two ways. One, the HulkBuster is finally releasing soon! Two, the HulkBuster is delayed yet again. Neither response is wrong, and I apologize if I've made anyone feel otherwise.

Simply put, I read the Hot Toys press release as a fancy way of saying, "Here's new pictures, by the way, this is delayed again." It was tough to hear yet another delay.

When this piece is released, it's going to be amazing. The grail of anyone's Marvel / Iron Man collection. However, the delay hurts for some of us. Do not make us feel like we're insane for feeling upset at the news. I'll also do my best to control my frustrations moving forward.

All in all, sucks there's another delay. Still looking forward to this beast! My apologies if I acted like a jerk. Was just annoyed at the news of another delay, that's all.

It's ok to feel annoyed, they delayed it yet again which is frustrating. Some don't care as they prefer it was perfect and some are annoyed because they have set it back yet again. Both are valid opinions and I have to say my feelings are mixed.
I'm glad we finally have pics but I see this new version and it does look a little diluted compared to the prototype (most are of course but still, having had 2 and a half years of exquisite photos to look at it means the prototype is ingrained on my memory and anything less will be noticable). I'm also of the opinion that if it has been this long they should be able to knock this out of the park despite the redesign. It might very well be the jewel in my 1/6 scale collecting crown but am tempering my expectations as hype can lead me to feel disappointed if, when it's released, it is subpar to the price paid and time waited.
I'm glad I preordered this though as I was able to pay this off over such a long period and it's now not going to hulkbust my bank account when it finally releases. I Redesigned my entire cave to accommodate this guy so hope he really is the mutts nuts, the pooches ballsack, the dogs b*llocks. I'm glad there are different opinions, it's why I come here to see what everyone else thinks. God bless this forum thread its been a saviour when I have been tempted to cancel on many occassions and decided not to just because this thread is a great one.
You all get thumbs up from me, the neggers, the positives and the trolls. You are all entertaining!

Hear, hear sir! Completely agreed on all counts. I have a curio cabinet with a spot reserved just for this guy. I'm nervous that he won't fit. Only time will tell!

I am a little upset at the new slender looking HulkBuster we've seen in these new photos, but all in all, I understand changes were needed to be made to accommodate the revamped design. It's still a stunning piece to behold, so I do not think it'll deter my excitement one bit when this guy finally arrives.

I have mixed feelings on whether this will be the gem everyone is hoping it will be. It certainly looks amazing, and will have the most incredible shelf presence no one is denying that, but my concern is the build quality and the articulation, and how many people will break their 46 just to try and squeeze him inside HB. Iron Mongor was my holy grail for a while, and he is still my second favorite collectible I own, but I was disappointed with how thin his plastic feels and flimsy he kind of feels. I just don't want to have the same kind of feelings towards something that will cost close to $1000.

Herein lies the danger. Imagine if this is a recall or mass fix situation? It would be a total disaster.

I give HT their time to get this right.

I am so tempted to say screw it and just sell a bunch of comics and pick this up, but I'm fairly certain I would regret it. It just won't leave the back of my head.

Oh my. I come back and...so many words (and crying) to read about over this thing being delayed. I'll just wait for the in-hand pics

Yup, certainly a lot of crying in this thread....over a toy I might add... Its hilarious.

Fall isn't too far. We all got plenty of things to do so its not like were all just crying over the delay in a thread until then.

In your defense, that's exactly how I viewed it as well. As soon as I read "will be shipping this fall" it felt like a few pictures were taken just to hold people over since it seems (at least in this forum) that people are reaching their breaking point (sounds dramatic writing that ).

But I do really like new pictures, so it's exciting nonetheless. And it could be worse, any Molecule8 fans? But while we're at it, can we have new DC Mk6 pictures too HT? I'm going to cancel otherwise....

Who's crying? Some of us are annoyed by a delay, but none of us are crying. We simply voiced frustration. I do not understand how speaking our mind is frowned upon in this thread. If we are not sunshine and rainbows, we're seen as negative or "crying." Please, once again, get off your high horse. Thanks.

Completely agreed, man. On all counts.

You are missing the overarching point. No one is going to to fault you or anyone else for being upset there are delays nor be upset you have a differering opinion. Its the continuous vibe to go out of the way to chime or chirp in when someone has something positive to say about the HB. Say it once, say your piece and move on. Nobody reading this thread is going to mistaken your stance on the delay. Be constructive with the conversation and stop firing leading and incendiary posts to counter other's commentary on the thread. Everyone gets it. You are mad.

Dialog is healthy when inidviduals are adding to the conversation. Rinsing and repeating the same drivel makes a person just look stupid or a just a i-net troll.

The delay sucks, I want it now but want it done right and blow my mind when I pull back the boxing materials on the day it gets to me. I've got a display with 60 HT Iron Man armors sitting and waiting on this jewel so I understand frustrations but we are at the home stretch. R E L A X.
