Even as a die-hard IM fanatic, I don't see this one making it past the prototype phase. Even ignoring the lack of screen time, this isn't even immediately recognisable as IM. Take away the helmet and it looks like something out of a saturday-morning cartoon. Looks like a one-shot villain from...

Friendly reminder to check other outlets to those who missed the window. PopCollectibles had Miles available for a few hours after his window ended.

Hell yeah, Webs on lockdown. Just need to wait for my Miles from PC and I'm all set. Didn't realise this was the SideshowCon-exclusive period though. Would've been nice to know BEFORE I got my place in the queue and had to make a mad dash to register after it refused to check out.

I must commend HT for using modern art forms as inspiration for their face sculpts and expressions. Really progressive stuff.

The one I'm really waiting for is Prime/Model 51. And maybe EndoSym/Model 50. And if we're really lucky, Model 42 (not having a mainline black/gold suit in the MCU is criminal). Feels like all the others already got good representation via their MCU counterparts, but those three are still...

Just PC for worldwide shipping at this point. At least in terms of known reputable sellers. The only other big names that had access were ToysWonderland and ToyzCorner, but they sold out a while ago. Not sure if PC still has some available. There are a few other active pre-orders I found on...

For any fellow Brits in here, just to confirm, that would make it 17:00 for us, wouldn't it? Did Miles go live then today? I was lucky enough to grab a Miles pre-order from PopCollectibles once I realised I'd missed the window, and I don't intend to miss the next one.

Pre-orders go live on the 21st, it seems. 18th for Miles. Based on previous limited runs, how fast are these two likely to sell out?

Since none of the items have been shipped to suppliers, in theory yes. The only difference would be if a Sideshow-Exclusive version was revealed.

They've already committed to making Maguire. No way they don't complete the set.

They kinda should be, considering the armor adds 5 inches. Thor is 6'3. Tony is 6'1 out of the suit, and 6'6 in it.

It looks like it's taken from the rooftop scene when he was fighting Stane. He had a kind of roughed-up helmet-hair thing going on at the time that more closely resembles the headsculpt. Here's the scene in question if you want to compare.

Makes me wonder if the Mark 2 will get the same treatment, seeing as it used the old Mark 3 diecast as a base. Either way, I'm in.

Ah, it didn't occur to me that the Gauntlet arm would use the same peg-tech. Thanks!

Potentially a dumb question, but can anyone confirm if the cannons on the BD are backwards-compatible with the standard 85? Given that they're the same base model you'd think that the clean 85 would also have removable arms, but it's not mentioned in the instructions. I haven't got my BD yet...
