The one Heath Hammond did...

“Castaway” by Heath Hammond, 3D Key Artist of Sideshow Collectibles, US who has been with the company for 10 years and played an active role in the Creative Service 3-D Dept. “A NASA Astronaut (Lt. R Crusoe ) stranded on a lone planet” as the theme, concept motivated by the movie “Robinson Crusoe on Mars”, and NASA EVA space suit developed by Stark Industries

Just WOW!!!!!

Some of these are just amazing

That astronaut one is EASILY my fave. Beautiful.

Some amazing talent on show.

 

[Seaward]

The astronaut one is my favorite out of the bunch, and these are some really cool designs on top of the IM armor!

 

[action-Jon]

I was checking it a while back, awesome stuff.

 

[aces888]

Some very cool customs. I wonder if they might auction off the Sideshow ones in the near future.

That's the coolest space suit NASA never made.

Lots and lots of photos from the expo (thanks to 'terce' from Toy World)

What's odd is that among all the cool customs and HT's own IM products, they also displayed Sidehow's 1/2 scale maquette and life size IM bust. I wonder if HT is taking notes on the 1/2 maquette because IMO that piece has the best proportions of any IM product I've ever seen (QA issues aside).

why would they take notes ?? they are done with the mk3.. sideshow and HT have a really good relationship, sideshow always gives them product for their store and hot toys helped them develope alot of their 1/6 scale stuff.
and its and Iron Man expo, so displaying Sideshow stuff is a given

I think the show is meant to be more of an Iron man Expo rather than a Hot Toys expo, it's meant to celebrate (or hype) the 2nd movie release. It just happens so that Hot Toys are the ones throwing the party.

I have a buddy who is working in the IM2 marketing and said it is all to hype up for the next film and bring IM fans out. So your take on it is pretty accurate.

Stark Racings' latest creation!

Another custom from team "Sideshow".

Like Hot Toys is done with the Mark III. They're not done with it, I'd bet on it.
