Looks cool Lex
Did you use the Thor AOU stand yes?

Thanks man ... and yup, picked up AOU Thor's stand on eBay shortly after he became available in Hong Kong.

Nice, I plan to do the same and use my Light Armor Thor

The red paint on the Mark XLV is just all wrong because it should look like this: https://www.mediafire.com/convkey/a38f/652dbsf8bl6ihrgzg.jpg

The 45 has a tricky paint scheme indeed, its looks almost metallic but its not.

slightly disappointed it doesnt have that metallic sheen but I think the figure still looks really nice

 

[bransen2099]

The paint is weird on this armor for sure. It's like HTs needs to flat coat the red then add a layer of gloss top coat on it.

It's wrong compared to THAT single screen grab. I can post photos of ten other screen grabs where it looks COMPLETELY different. Drives me nuts that people pick one scene that supports their argument and ignore everything else, like becuase they prefer it that way everything else is wrong. When it's all from the same film. It's all right.

As for they way it looks...or how to do it...it's anodized. That's how to achieve that sorta metallic red color.

If it ever comes out

 

[WhoaItsJBot]

I'm wondering how the Mk3 helmet would look on this.

 

[YankeesFanboy]

I have no problem with the paint on the prototype. The closer the production piece looks to that, the better, IMO.

 

[zackhigh1226]

The anodized appearance would look amazing on this figure, but I'm perfectly happy with the color of the prototypes from all of the convention pics!

I'm not sure what your point is, since you quoted my response. I said that other versions (shf, hot toys..ect) don't have the exact paint as it appears in that single screen grab (or scene), becuase you said they where "wrong"..but if they match other scenes..and it does..then it's not wrong. It's just a match to a different scene. It would be impossible to match the appearance of any costume or suit from every second of every film. Without doing 50 or so figures of the same one with slight variations based on digital(and which studio did that particular scene as often multiples work on a film and suit...) vs practical (with variations for stunt and hero and bd and adjustments and back up suits and repaints ect) vs blended (partial practical suit on the actor and the rest done digitally) and then to account for lighting...there's so many different shades and finishes and appearance of every suit. Saying a company got it wrong based on one scene is just silly.

As for the CMC version. It does look great. Never said it didn't. Problem is the company making it. They previewed like 12 1/4 scale iron man figures two or three years ago and have thus far released 2, and those where in very limited numbers. And both releases have had a pretty bad QC history. Given that it will cost 20-30(or more percent more then hot toys) it would have to be near perfect to be a success. And factor in nearly no a customer service for most people..as its a region specific release and can't technically be sold to any area hot toys has ...that's a lot of risk for a company that has no credibility. And we have no idea if the final paint will look like the 1 off proto they made for PR for a movie premiere.

I'll take HT's 1/4 XLV over CMC's any day!

 

[Starfleet Captain]

How many people will ditch XLV now that we know for sure XLVI will have a Tony HS? I for one is not canceling as I like XLV better than XLVI!

 

[MegaPrime33]

I think it's a great armor, I just wish the weathering was optional. I think it would look even better if it was clean.

I will get both, the 47 should have a lot of BD.

 

[DarkAngel]

If they make a battle damaged 47 I'll be very tempted
