Of course I'd also prefer this made out of top notch materials, but I have no problem with less expensive materials to cut cost. And every material has up side and down side. But foam is a remarkable material. As a younger man I didn't have a clue about foam. But I've become well aware of its uses and it's not nearly as fragile as commonly thought.

You guys are gonna love this...

...and although I wasn't able to get close enough to touch it, if it's not styrofoam it sure as hell looks like it. The ones they had on display dented and marred like styrofoam. $130! Really people, when is enough, enough. Please do not buy this thing. Let's stand for something. LMAO!

Wow, that's shocking. It just looks so cheap. Doesn't even really match nicely with the stand. Almost looks like something that was repurposed to be an IM bay. *shakes head* Weird how HT can have so many amazing releases and then something like this.

For that price you might as well get the 1st hall of armor, it's still overpriced but it's not styrofoam.

Absolutely! I got the set of 7 and love it. More lights and the clear front cover (I didn't use the hologram stickers) really make an impressive display compared to this new one. For $10 more I'd definitely grab the first version.

Definitely going to get a set of 7 from the first HOA. An arial display of the other 35 would be better

Yehhhhh... Well I think if I wanted a Hall I would go with the older style then and either find somewhere to display it or mod it for a straight line like some others have done.

Still wish they would sell the bases, either the original or new ones, separately so I could build my own foam display

Haha. My eyes were SOOO wide when i saw the price, lol.
I would have claimed a rip-off if it was $60...
But there might be good news on the horizon folks. At $120 apiece, it can't be styrofoam, as many have already suggested here(And i have argued, lol).
The good news is that if it *is* styrofoam when it's released, one of these can be used to make a reverse vacform mould for one made of plastic.

$130 for 35 of them seems about right to me

I'll go as high as $80, take it or leave it

Random thought turned question, forget the foam part... how much do we think the light up bases would be worth if released at retail in a non Hot Toy/Sideshow markup world?

I'd guess they could turn a huge profit selling them for anywhere upwards of $35.

Re: 1/6 - Hot Toys - IM3 - Hall of Armor (House Party Protocol Ver.) - Spec + Pic

So if thats about right then they are marketing the foam part, which does have lights, for about $80-$90 at best guess?

inc. postage of course.

You can justify it any way you like, lol, but no-one is going to buy these made from foam for $120.

Even then, lol, still seems expensive!
