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

[Raikirik]

From the photos I'm seeing, the color of the Jackhammer arm as part of the accessory set looks different from the first release HB.

Say it ain't so. :/

are you referring to the photos on sideshow for the separately sold arm? if so, they're just highlighting the arm to show you what you get.

Ahhhh I thought the rerelease had brighter paint or something and the arm didn't match the original, which would be lame. Thanks for clarifying.

$4 for continental US only.

Well that's reasonable.

 

[Bocephus Jones]

Yes, but it costs an arm.

... and a leg, and maybe your firstborn.

Hmmm... over a grand for the AOU one or much less for the IW one... I'm so torn. Which one looks better? I am not sure. For over a grand they could have die cast some of the AOU one.

The IW one isn’t nearly as nice. It’s effectively a statue. Also, it’s made of vinyl. I have it preordered because I didn’t realize that fact, but it’s first one the chopping block if I need to sell.

I hope they rerelease/get more preorders in for Mark 50. Also please rerelease Soc Voltron (Bandai). I have 1 but want another, but I'm good with just one Hulkbuster 1.0.

There’s diecast in the armature since it’s such a heavy figure and the issues hot Toys has had in the past with for example iron monger or the tumbler rear axel breaking from the weight of itself /shipping. But don’t forget your talking about a vinyl statue( IW HB) vs and articulated plastic/metal figure (AOU HB). Everybody is and has their own opinion I really can’t tell you what to buy. For me I think the AOU HB looks more like the comic, but it’s very expensive and could cost some collectors quit a few preorders of other figures to purchase.

Damn, I didn't know that about the IW one... hmm may go with the reissue of the AoU.

Thanks mate.

I've been looking at HT IM for years now, debating on one to get. Only collected Joe's and SW 6th scale back in the 90s-2000s. Liked the first release (didn't order) a lot, but was still unsure at the time. Still like it a lot so I po'd this one after mulling it over since it went up.

While it's definitely not "cheap", this is as much as some P1 Batman pieces (DK IIII specifically) which kinds of trips me out, I'm not sure it this one is just really expensive or if the P1 is just cheap,

This and the Mark XLVI concert art. 1(2) and done. I think think this will look better than the XM hulkbuster.

So if the new accessory version of this is already $1,000 plus...then I wonder how much the IW version will cost

Probably cost pretty close to the same( if they decided to make it articulated) but maybe that’s why they doing power pose? Maybe not enough time carved out to design a whole new HB

Seen this video of someone removing the arm of HB

[hottoyskyle]

But you get to keep your leg (for now).



Wow, arm removal looks easier than I thought.

Yeah BUT!!! I don’t like the idea of Chinese steel (screw) going in and out of Chinese plastic lmao!!! I don’t feel comfortable constantly switching the arms in and out like that, just feel like the hole can get worn out and the screw not hold anymore. But yeah it is pretty simple

Why would you constantly change the arms? Once or twice maybe.

Not me personally but I kno of collectors who constantly like to keep poses fresh..

This is most likely one they had in stock prior to the re-release. I've seen a few figures pop back up on their site well after they've sold out everywhere, so obviously PCZ plays the secondary market on occasion. I would think they'll have the HB, Jack Hammer arm and Mark 43 available early next week at @8% below retail.

I saw they marked the original HB down a little, but it's still more than this deluxe one. It's simple logic that nobody would get the original one since this deluxe one has more for a cheaper price.

Normally I would agree with you because you're logical. Collectors aren't logical we want the world and we want it.....now.
