Although I jump on every IM armour they put out, and will try to get hold of this (where will it be available...?), it would be nice if they'd get around to finishing the actual House Party.

I realise they have to repaint to maximise profit, and I do like this one, but I really would have preferred a different colour scheme. Perhaps switching out the gold for silver, leaving the rest black, or a blue/silver pairing would have looked better.
These will be available for pick up at the upcoming expo in the Japan Hot Toys store :lecture VVVVVV

The last Retro armor was based off the concept art, but I don't believe there's any concept art released where Bones is red and gold. Did Hot Toys just make this one up?

You betcha, they make new stuff up all the time, artistic renditions of armors or troopers :)
 
Not a good choice of a figure to repaint, too much going on, the first one had an awesome color scheme.

I like it but I gave up on HPP (and by extension repaints of them) long ago.
 
I want to bash on this so hard....

but I'd be a hypocrite cause I own like 3 repaints of the Mark VII :rotfl

What's next. Starboost?

Could be could be :lol

I also wouldn't rule out a MKVII repaint, although I won't truly be worried until they start the Storm Trooper/Iron Man crossover variants and repaints :slap :lol

**** shouldn't give them ideas :lol
 
Yeah, I'm not one for banging on about over Iron Man saturation. I actually like that they are ticking off the HPP (not that I would ever buy any), but this is going a wee bit far. Mark III and VII?, yeah I can understand repaints of them will sell... but Sneaky and Bones? what next? Igor in classic red and gold?

Wouldn't that be Stormboost in this case?

Honestly this isn't that surprising, as Sneaky and Bones are unique one off armors. Many of the other HPP have existing paint variants but this way they can squeeze a few more sales out of an otherwise unique mold. In that sense there just might be a Starboost in the future, maybe a red and gold Igor even (budget Hulkbuster!).
 
Sadly missed opportunity to do the mechanical detailing in the Barry Windsor-Smith palette popular in the 80's Iron Man books.

Hot Toys needs to get with HPP suits that haven't been made and aren't repaints. Ones with a new body. Even though I am tired of seeing all these IM suits, one suit I really want made (surprised it hasn't yet) is Hammerhead. Different sculpt, unique color, and unique use (deep sea).
 
Not gonna lie, the original Bones had to grow on me. However, once it did i appreciated the INSANE detailing and sculpting that went into it. But This Retro Version's colorscheme irks the hell Outta me, it's quite terrible looking. This in metallic silver would've been GORGEOUS.

These colors do nothing for me on this suit but i agree metallic silver like the MKII would have been perfect.
