I think Hot Toys just labeled this figure wrong. It's going under their new 1/8 scale line for Iron Man. 
Hard pass on this for me. I still have the 2.0 boxed up. Will just whip that out if I ever feel like displaying it again. Same figure but I don't get the spinning fan on the back..oh no...

The movies are going to be bad, so that will just make it worse.
Without RDJ and Evans fighting Thanos sales are gonna suffer.

Wow I didn't know about the sizing issue, then I come in here and get educated. What a disappointment.
That sucks. And here I was thinking I'd be able to have a nice setup of Mk1, Mk46 and Mk85 to show the progression in 3 clean figures.
Now I'm re-thinking my options if one is going to be clearly too small.

They had a good run.
Imagine if DC managed to get their **** together and Hot Toys was doing more DC than Marvel.
OK it was a nice dream
I am surprised HT made this decision with their crown jewel IM. They’ve obviously reached a level where there is little incentive to improve their product as enough customers are eager for pricier decade old reissues and actually consider themselves lucky to not pay “ebay prices”.
That demonstrates exactly my biggest complaint and what I had hoped was the #1 improvement...
People's desperate need for completion is really tested on this figure.

Wow. What a complete dud of a release. I was interested in having this and MK 85 BD to bookend the Infinity Saga. And for that price? Crazy.
This embarrassing picture is even more embarrassing as it’s a preview of 2 years from now!! Astonishing.
This is far more disappointing than the mark 85 stark head people flipped out over.

Definitely no perfection here......
I’m assuming the elevated stand they’ve added is a weak attempt at masking the shortness of the figure.

That's exactly what it's for lol Instead of taking the time to actually change the figure and improve it, they just slap a stand to make it seem like he'll be taller.
Almost a decade since the 2.0 figure for this. Good one Hot Toys.

I've seen some statue companies go back to the drawing board on designs based on customer feedback. Whatever reason they have for the figure being shorter, the picture above shows it's just not acceptable. Let's see if Hot Toys will listen if people voice their concerns enough on this. Doubtful, but one can hope.
This made me laugh.

They did, and it's over. Fortunately for HT there is no shortage of Mando stuff for me to squander my discretionary income on.
They won’t do anything about this figure but maybe if they get enough blow back and see a pissed customer base yet again they’ll think twice before squatting out another Tiny Stark mistake.
But the reason they didn’t improve this is they decided they can sell it on “die cast” alone without making new expensive molds. So if they now have enough customers that will buy outdated, undersized product at an inflated price, some grumpy legacy customers won’t hurt profits.

This is just another joke of a "Summer Showcase" reveal today.
They are turning into Hasbro and Mattel, with blatant re-use of existing parts to
try and make more money. Pretty pathetic when you are selling what now, $400+ figures?
It will be kind of funny looking back before COVID to the "glory days" of Hot Toys.
You know, when releases made sense and they actually were trying?
