This HB is trash compared to the work of art they pulled with Vol1

Some of you guys take things so personally. I am into 2.0 but have reservations about the vinyl, like others. It kinda sounds like it's basically a blow molded figure woth a high end paint job. What seperates this from a $70 Stay Puft Marshmallo Man is lights and glossy paint. Plus add the Disney/Hot Toys tax.

I wonder why they went with vinyl instead of plastic. Hot Toys have a history of using customers as testers for new materials they use. Is this going to be a light weight figure that falls over if a slight breeze hits it? I never had a vinyl figure or statue so I don't know what to expect. Did they make this move just to increase their profit margin at the expense of the customers?

Vinyl isn’t light. It’s heavier then plastic.

Ok. Hopefully there are no negatives regarding it's use for the longevity of the figure.

I think vinyl will last longer than any of us on the forum

I don’t understand why folks have to call one “trash” or whatever. Get whatever you prefer. I prefer to own both.

It’s not like there aren’t smaller and more expensive vinyl figures around. Just look at the Godzilla collectibles thread.

As for the articulation, they were clear as day in the description as far as I’m concerned. Only question is if things are just a swivel or on any ball joints.

I'm kind of relieved this is A Power Figure. A) because it will reduce the cost. B) because it will reduce the production time. C) because I won't feel bad if I decide not to get it. (I'm probably going to get it........)

Spoiler:

This HB didn't really even do anything much apart fighting Black Dwarf and disposable army minions. It was just a clumsy heavily armored robot suit. It couldn't fly, didn't project any energy beams, it couldn't self upgrade or patch up with broken parts. If this suit went up against Hulk, it would be smashed to pieces. You can argue Banner doesn't have a system like Tony to operate it, but as a co-creator of the original HB, he should know some of the functions to play around with.

The original always looked cooler, but now that the functions of this suit is reduced to the most basic it can be, easy pass.. V.1 all the way.

Spoiler:

It did fly over to help Vision and it was shooting repulsor blasts from both hands when a few of the aliens started getting through the shield.

After seeing the movie I don't really have any interest in this figure.

Spoiler:

It didn't really get used much in the film and was immediately banged to hell because they decided to make a joke out of Banner tripping in it. The V1 had more screen time and more of a point. Did they explain how/why Banner had the suit? I don't recall but may have missed it.

In AoU it was said Banner helped design Veronica so it would make sense Banner has access to it as well.

Ahh, if this were made the same for the first HB. I think it would have sold more.

Vinyls are built to last, although they'll get sticky overtime. Just soak it in soap and it'll be brand new again.

Oh it did? i'll have to watch it again next week. I'm sure you are right, but I guess for me it was that unmemorable.

Didn't remember it doing something that cool during the fight.

I'm of the opposite opinion..

Spoiler:

this HB showed Banner could win a fight without the Hulk which I thought was pretty cool.

Why he was in the suit : He couldn't change into the Hulk that's why he was in the suit to begin with. No explanation needed I thought....

I am also stoked at the price of this figure ! $430 !!!
I remember reading through the HB1 thread and all I saw were pics of museum posed HB's. Which is fine, but not worth double the price imo.

So a great choice by HT. Maybe there will be a fully articulated version for Avengers 4, when HT have some more time & resources. But for me, for now, this is a great option !

I will just save my for MMS version, and hope that it has a bust of improved HS of bruce banner in it.
