1/6 Hot Toys - MMS278D09 - Avengers: AoU - Iron Man Mark 43 Collectible Figure

[rocbolt]

I feel like people don't really like this armor, is it because the movie is less popular?

It and the 42 are my favorite armor, but I do not like these 1/6 diecast figures of them anymore. They are really showing their age and early place in the diecast lineage with the blocky outlined details, proportions, and shoulder joints. They never looked the same after the QS' came out

I’d absolutely love a 1/4 mark 43. I might try to track one down one of these days if they don’t make a 46,50 or 85 in 1/4

It holds up quite well. It will never not be faithful to the source material. I recently went and tested the batteries to make sure everything worked after being on display for a couple years. The engineering on the suit is still amazing.

Nice!

Anyone know when the diecast re-issue mark 43 figure will start shipping out?

 

[deadpooled]

Does the reissue include all of the accessories and heads that the original came with?

 

[Niumpok]

I just received the payment mail for the reissue

It does not come with the special edition battle damaged helmet, however it comes with the original diorama base and battle damaged ultron accessory that was included in the initial release.

Some buyers are complaining about quality control for the reissued version:

I cancelled my PO from Sideshow for this piece a few weeks ago, and hearing about QC issues just makes me feel like I dodged a bullet.

wait, so I don't get what's wrong with it? the Shoulder piece doesn't sit flush? Is that what it is?

Those 2 circle parts have slots that hold the shoulder armor in place (and allow articulation) and the circle parts are supposed to be glued securely onto the shoulder area of the arm. Seems like they used weak glue or not enough glue and the 2 parts have fallen off. I had the same issue with my Mark IX and it was a pain in the butt to glue everything back together. If you're not careful, you risk bending one of the springs located inside the shoulder armor piece, or glue seeping into the slot which may affect articulation/movement of the shoulder armor.

That same shoulder issue was a plague on Hot Rod, the figures were locked up on ships for months waiting to come in to port off California and seems the heat weakened the glue

Same thing happened on one of my plastic suits (Sub Zero, I think). Not a difficult fix if you're in any way mechanically inclined. I have 30+ IMs and that was the only one with this defect, so IMO not a pervasive issue.
