Well, this is the only way they will continue to reign supreme as the undisputed 1/6th champs!
If one company is doing it, they better jump in and crush that sh!+ quick! That way they dilute the smaller company's sales and corner that market. It's the nature of capitalism...can't be mad at that.

When has that ever been a good thing for consumers? That's right, never.
That is exactly why. HT's creative team is TINY. They aren't big like Sideshow where they have different groups of artists that work on different mediums (busts, PFs, 1:6, statues, etc). So each new thing HT takes on takes away from their other lines/resources. So this is just yet one more Iron Man item getting in the way of other things like X-men, Expendables, Prometheus, etc.

It's not even the wait that gets me, it's knowing that instead of getting plastic versions of the figures (Mark III 2.0, Armored Whiplash) we now have to "upgrade" to the much more expensive Diecast line to get certain items.
Well, we don't even know if these will be articulated figures or statues yet. The 'press release' doesn't say much and we just don't know enough yet. But yeah, it is possible we'll get metal versions instead of plastic (Whiplash 2.0 here for example).
Actually it would the Mark 3 3.0They've already done it twice.
I bet they still would call it the 2.0. Purple suit Joker has been done 3 times but they called the newest one the 2.0

They're called Leviathans.
I'd rather see the 1/4 Avengers over a pricey die-cast version. Who the heck am I kidding, I just want to see the rest of the 1/6 Avengers already!!!
Are we assuming these will be articulated in the same way as plastic 1/6?
It was a DX 2.0, meaning it was just the second DX, not the second time they did the purple suit. I doubt HT will label this .0 anything because it would only emphasize their extreme milking here.

I have no interest in die-cast metal action figures. I'd prefer that they make Armored Whiplash and Mark III 3.0 in plastic. This reeks of Hot Toys trying to corner the extreme niche market pursued by another company more than anything else.
Why can't Hot Toys catch up on all their "delayed" product
before announcing all this?
If the standard Iron Man figures are $200+, these will have to
clock in at about double that ($400+ each).
Sorry, but I am not starting over all again with the different marks, just because
Hot Toys want me to. Forget that.
Plus, if it takes this long to get all the Avengers in 1/6 scale...
they should have Die-Cast Mark I - Mark VIII done sometime around 2025.

A diecast Whiplash II is really unnecessary, imo. Not because it wouldn't look good, but it's size will make the price way too high. Actually none of the red and gold IM armors are unnecessary in diecast format. I would like a new Mark III but I'd prefer what they've done so far with the other Marks in order to keep everything the same. However, the only armor I would love to see in diecast is War Machine from IM2. The heavy duty look of it mixed with real die cast metal would make for an awesome figure.
