    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS195D1 - Iron Man 3: Iron Patriot Diecast Series Official Specs/Pics

    I'm glad to hear this is an isolated incident, perhaps I'll buy another.

    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS195D1 - Iron Man 3: Iron Patriot Diecast Series Official Specs/Pics

    Well to clarify and to be fair, the pieces only popped off while I was articulating the figure, not just on their own. That would be really bad ;). What I was saying was that I was pretty gentle and they still popped off, something I haven't seen on other figures. I don't think anything is wrong...

    I would say this is good news if you have posed the figure a lot and articulated it a lot. If you have barely touched it and you're saying this, try it out a bit more and then let me know.

    Again, feeling like tanks doesn't mean the figure is well built. Do you care to test this belief? Follow the instructions and begin articulating the figure, push the back button and pull down on the legs, pull down on the feet, etc. Some of what I saw could have been eliminated by variances in...

    Re: 1/6 Hot Toys - MMS195D1 - Iron Man 3: Iron Patriot Diecast Series Official Sp... One gets the IMPRESSION the figure is well built because of the weight. When you see pieces popping off, you realize it's NOT well built. I'm betting all of these have similar issues regardless of whether you...

    1/6 Hot Toys - MMS195D1 - Iron Man 3: Iron Patriot Diecast Series Official Specs/Pics

    I gotta tell ya, as beautiful as the figure is, it's built very cheaply. I'm pretty disappointed in this figure. When unboxing mine, posing, and moving to its display stand, a leg popped off, an arm popped off, Rhodie's lower jaw visor popped off, a front facing armor flap popped off (albeit...

    Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS - Link for waitlist in opening post

    It's really funny when you watch his videos and hear him doing the voices of the figures. If you listen to his dialogue closely, he'll really get into it and I know he's lost himself in playing with the figures and I think it's cool. As you say, he's not afraid to do his own thing. The dude...

    You're right. I think it's grossly over-hyped but that's just my opinion. Something is worth what someone is willing to pay for it. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters. It's not that hot in my opinion, they went cheap on it, it was just to have something cool for a convention and make...

    You've completely missed the point on Sean Long. A) He's smarter than he appears, a lot of what you see is his "schtick". If you listen to him, he's actually witty. B) He doesn't review as much as he does promote. He drives interest in Hot Toys, has fun, and gives the figures a thorough going...

    You're right, it totally does. If they did Midas like AUV, that would have been a whole different story, it would have been at least as good.

    You make very good points, especially on #2, I didn't know that. I just think that this is one HT figure where they really used photography to sell the figure. Most of them look as good or better when you pull them out of the box as the marketing photos. IMHO, not this guy. He looks cool no...

    True, LOL. The toning is cool and I guess they didn't want him to look like an Indiana Jones idol. So I think it's just the name that is wrong, why the hell call him Midas? Everything Midas touched turned to solid gold, not multi-tone goldish. Perhaps they should have simply called him Bronze...

    Just displayed my Midas. Out of all of my Iron Men, the Midas is my least favorite. He's pretty, don't get me wrong, but he's nothing more than a greedy marketing campaign to cash in on old molds before die-cast hits. My gripes: 1) It's more bronze than gold 2) There are no LED repulsors in...

    A Detolf by any other name would smell as sweet

    Re: Detolfs discontinued? Yup. Common problem. URL re-writes and Java are your friends, but Viglink and its ilk represent a more nefarious usage. There are a few creative ways around the problem for which it appears I don't need to tell you.

    Re: Hot Toys MMS Iron Man Mark XXI-MIDAS BUY NOW - Link on page 257 Wrong to post #2860 A) This figure is a toy fair figure which means it's limited. Hot Toys doesn't release production numbers, any such numbers posted are pure speculation and not factual. B) Something is only worth what...

    A Detolf by any other name would smell as sweet

    Re: Detolfs discontinued? Not off hand, it's on the IKEA website. I have more figures than this, for which Detolf's are ideal, but I have found that the Billy cabinets are fine. I can't stand having the doors join in the middle effectively inducing a visual impairment, but it's cheaper than...
