1/6 Hot Toys - MMS308 - Ant-Man: Ant-Man Collectible Figure

[Motuxmen]

Sorry but no. The scale is 1/6. It's always 1/6 (or 1/4 ect)..It's the scale they say. They are making a scaled version of a specific object at a specific scale. It's that object is 2 ft tall or 50ft tall or 1/3 inch at full scale doesn't matter.

1:6th Anthony would be 3mm since adult carpenter ants are 18mm

1/6 refers to the fraction of the size vs. the original. A six foot human equals a one foot figure. Divide by six to get the figure. A 1/3 inch character represented at 1/6 scale would be tiny, because it's one centimeter divided by six. It wouldn't be larger because that would be a different scale. Full scale size always matters. Otherwise, 1/6 Hulkbuster would be 12 inches tall, and so would 1/6 Rocket Racoon.

Which is what I said. The 1/6 hot toys figure line is always, shocker 1/6. It doesn't matter if the source figure is X size. The scale is the same. I did not say, which you seem to have thought, that the actual size of the figure or full size version is this or that. I said a 1/6 (announced) scale version is in fact 1/6. Just Becuase the character can alter size in the source material doesn't mean the scale of the figure is different. (I.e. Just Becuase antman can be 12 inches tall the 1/6 scale 12 inch tall hot toys figure is not 1/1. It's still based on the 6 ft tall iteration.)



The red dio announced size is 1/6. So it's 1/6 no matter if Anthony is 3inches long in another scene or 300 ft long later.

I'm not sure what you think I said. I understand pretty well how scale works. I said that when they announce the scale at 1/6 then it's 1/6. Lol no matter if the character on screen changes sizes. If he goes from super small to massive the scale of the figure does NOT change. That doesn't mean that 1/6 hulkbuster would be the same size as 1/6 RDJ, nor did I say it did. I was saying the fact that the character changes size in film doesn't matter.

Just to use your example of a human...if they announce a 1/6 scale figure (not a 12 inch line..those are seperate legally and licensing and rights ect) and the 1/6 figure is 12.5 inches tall then you can know the 1/1 height it's modeled after. If that character is say antman, and he changes sizes it doesn't matter(even if that figure can somehow correlate to a different size and and scale combo) relative to that particular figure. If you want to pretend it's a 1/2 scale representation of a 25 inch tall and man that's fine. Or so on. But the figure is still a 1/6 scale figure. If the manufacture says its 1/6 scale them it's 1/6 scale. Simple.

Yeah. I was like, "There's no way Motux is serious. I'm probably misunderstanding his post." Didn't know if you were messing around or you seriously didn't get it.

Thanks Motuxmen. That 1/6 scale RED Diorama ANTony is really cool with the animated antenna and jaws.

You're right. They have to announce that Antony as 1/6 because it's made for the 1/6 Ant-Man. Like when you buy accessories on eBay, they always specify that the item is meant for a 1/6 figure.

Every HT IM and Cap from the very first one has been elevated each film and each figure has an improvement. Expect the CW Ant - Man to be probably the best HT will make of AM because the following film he will more likely be Giant-Man.

Yeah so the CW will be the best AM figure because its ant and giant man then xD

While the ant is an accessory for a 1/6 scale Ant Man, as has been stated above, the Ant never grew any larger than a normal ant, so it's not actually 1/6(Because Scott never rode on it's back when he was full size, lol).
But i understand why they would have to market it as such.

Is it for sale?

 

[Tinman2000]

If you want a 1/6 Anthony

View attachment 253444

Is this 6th scale Anthony supposed to be an actual representation from the film...with handlebars, I never saw handlebars?

 

[Chr0n0]

Yeah Antony had a backpack/Saddle in the movie.

 

[thepixelpusher]

Curious. The thing that Red Dioramas has on ANTony looks like a motorcycle tank, handle bars and seat? Maybe they were still working on the saddlebag part??

Is RED Diorama on this forum to ask?

I even went back to se if I had added a wink, to make it even clearer that I was joking with the character size changing abilities. I did.

Sometimes these foruns are tiring, with how much people takes thing serious. It was a joke man!

If Antony was released as a ride for a 1/6 Ant-Man figure, that would be one big ant. Maybe half a tumbler's size.

It would be scaled in accordance to a 1/6 Ant-Man, but would not a 1/6 scale Antony, since the 1/6 scale Ant-Man with it would be representing a smaller version of the character, when he was riding Antony.

 

[kiwiatlarge]

Yeah, well just wait until Giant-Man starts riding something from Starship Troopers...

 

[Tinman2000]

Agreed, I'm thinking it's spoof or something; Anthony isn't even close to correct.

 

[evenflow]

Pretty cool diorama. Thanks for sharing.

You say you where joking and Then go on to further back up the statement. So are you still joking?

It's a 1/6 Anthony. You know how you can tell? The person that made it said it was. Pretty simple. Hot toys makes 1/6 figures. You know how you can tell? They say they are making 1:6. It's the same thing.

As for the comment that it would be the size of a tumbler...how do you know it's not?

It's not a spoof. It's a diorama made so people can display their hot toys figure on an Anthony if they want. Geez people.
