I am a UK based professional industrial designer, pretty new to the collectable malarky. I signed up because I bought a hot toys IM mark BD last November on ebay on sort of a whim and got hooked. I've been coming here for a while for news and photos, but think its time to get involved.
I am a pretty exclusive iron man collector (Oh no not another one...) as I really love the suits from an industrial design point of view. Phil Saunders and Adi Granov are production design heros of mine.
So, current status;
mark 1 - NEED - watching ebay and cursing crazy prices!
mark 2 - PREORDER on the armor unleashed version
mark 3 - GOT - battle damaged. modded neck to make head sit lower.
mark 4 - GOT - awesome figure
mark 5 - PREORDER
mark 6 - GOT - always have battle damaged displayed to differentiate from mark 4
War Machine - tempted, but torn by having both mark 2 and war machine as its 'canonically wrong'
mech test tony - might pick up after I've got all the suits.
various special editions (silly thing etc) - not really interested
And of course when avengers / iron man 3 roll around, whatever stark suits up in will have me interested...
not really interested in non iron man suits as normal figs are a bit too like 'dolls' for me (controversial to say that here, apologies if it offends!) but I do appreciate other figs esp. ones in 'designed' suits like batman DX, Boba Fett etc, just not enough to buy and collect them.
So thats me! quite specific in what I collect! hello to all!
