you know it especially considering how our check lists seem to be on par with each other

 

[Mookeylama]

do the VI heads fit the IV neck/body?

 

[Jaycepticon]

I don't see why it wouldn't. It's really the same basic figure with a different paintjob/weapons added

Well that shows we both have excellent taste in high-end figures

do the VI heads fit the IV neck/body?

The necks from the IV and VI are identical...the head have slight differences, especially the battle damaged one ...

 

[Centurion]

yeah, exactly the same paint. In fact, all the small nicks on the calves/shins/feet on the Mk IV and VI are in the exact identical spots which makes me think they just used the same pair of legs for both versions.

Good observation.

LOL! Right.
You don't hear of anyone complaining that their battle damaged helmet came with scratches on it.

Although they did forget to "outline" the right eye...

glad you guys like the pictures! it looks so much better in person too! at first I didnt plan on ever displaying the BD but it really grew on me once I put it on the figure!

 

[Gully Foyle]

The poor fit of the BD chest piece is really evident here.
Over $200 for a defective figure out the box?
Un-freaking-forgivable.

Hot Toys better fix this.
Great pics Nick---the rest of the figure looks great, but the chest fit defect sticks out like a sore thumb.

Is this Hot Toys or Hasblow?

Honestly, I don't even think HT made an announcement that they are fixing anything. Some of us here are just assuming that.
I hope that they are.

They damn well better!
And they should replace every defective chestpiece free of charge!

I don't think it's unforgivable. It's a simple (and relatively minor) mistake and even in production that happens sometimes. HT has traditionally been pretty good about fixing manufacturing errors like this on the fly (TDK for example). Not perfect* but I think a lot of that stems from them being A) small and B) HK-based.

* For North American buyers anyway. Which in that case it's North American buyers using middle men and re-distributors to get a figure earlier than the official western release date. In any case I know of any manufacturing defects/problems have been fixed by the North American (NA) release. And many people who have imported the Asian release to NA has had some difficulty in getting replacements. So in part NA buyers are responsible for their own difficulty in getting problems like this fixed due to circumventing the distribution cycle.

Im not getting one, but i hope they fix this... i would be mad if something like that happened to one of my preordered figures.

MarkIV is still the best looking HT Ironman.

 

[dedguy]

Didn't they already announce a recall and the North American Sideshow release was delayed in part to fix that problem (as well as the Japan tragedy)?

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

They never actually said thats why its delayed...and the issues in Japan likely have little impact on the business endeavors in HK

 

[dedguy]

I was more concerned with shipping. Since Sideshow is located in California I would expect the shipment to possibly go through Japan on it's way east to Cali.

 

[stshammgod]

People in Japan are sick, homeless or dying... And you're worried about a toy shipment? Really?

Calm down. I don't think anyone is getting their priorities out of whack.
