Gakken85 Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 Not sure. Only Iron Man I have is MKI V2 and the Midas... which I plan to flip. I'm looking for a MKVI Can't wait for Silver centurion though! Quote
Penguin Posted December 16, 2013 Posted December 16, 2013 All the latest Iron Man figures have had extra hands at 90 degrees. Quote
GU-11 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 TDKR Armory set: Includes a crapload of accessories as well as what is basically the DX-12 fig without the Bruce Wayne HS. Comes in 3 combos: (Armory + Alfred Pennyworth + Bruce Wayne in a suit), (Armory + Alfred) , (Armory) See here for more details. Personally, I've been looking forward to this...and now I realize I can't afford it after having just pre-ordered the ThreeZero Fullmetal Ghost. Quote
Gakken85 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I'm not a big Dark Knight fan, so I'll probably pass. Maybe buy up a cheap DX on the secondary market. haha Quote
GU-11 Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 I was personally hoping for just the armory and accessories. Without the DX12 fig, the price should have been a lot less. Quote
Vermillion One Posted December 28, 2013 Posted December 28, 2013 Any idea when the preorders will open on the armory? Quote
GU-11 Posted December 29, 2013 Posted December 29, 2013 Any idea when the preorders will open on the armory? It's already up for pre-order at my local hobby store. International orders should be popping up soon in other places. Quote
skullmilitia Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I just PO'd the MMS208 StarBoost armor Iron Man 1/6 figure from Hot Toys. Ordered through Sideshow and used my rewards, ended up being 200$ shipped lol It's got the new fixed waist , wrists and hands, gonna be OTC. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Not sure how I feel about that one... Not crazy about the feet and the colors. It's different though. I wonder if it will be in GOG? I'm more stoked for the silver centurion. Quote
GU-11 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I almost per-ordered the Star Boost suit. Loved the overall design and the backpack boosters. The only problem was that it was white. I'm fast running out of space in my man cave, so I can only get one Iron Man fig. Picking a white IM suit as my definitive IM doesn't seem to be as iconic or representative as the traditional red-and-gold colors. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Silver cent and Mark VI are my favs for sure Quote
skullmilitia Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I just dig Space designs, he'll look good next to Dead Astronaut Gangster. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 oh crap, Gemini was my favorite of the IM3 suit designs. It's really expensive, but I kind of want it. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 It looks cool. but I got too much on PO right now haha Quote
skullmilitia Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 It's not till Nov! LOL Probably the same month Arcadia ends up releasing some super limited rare Thing I want. Still, I wish they'd just make another IM2 suit with the new fixes. Then it technically be a reissue. Of course if you read Hot Toys posts, or even SS posts, It's nothing but bitching and whining about too many Iron Man figures. I say, there can never be too many. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Yeah they complain a lot. I feel like if they do any re-issues it will be diecast so they can charge more. I'll probably hold off on a MKV. Quote
skullmilitia Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I'm still hoping they make a new Alien figure that's fixed and won't crumble. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 It's not till Nov! LOL Probably the same month Arcadia ends up releasing some super limited rare Thing I want. Still, I wish they'd just make another IM2 suit with the new fixes. Then it technically be a reissue. Of course if you read Hot Toys posts, or even SS posts, It's nothing but bitching and whining about too many Iron Man figures. I say, there can never be too many. It's a good thing Sideshow gives you the option to flex out payments for pre-orders because Hot Toys has been releasing a sh!t ton of Iron Man figures. Thanks to the amount of armors shown in Iron Man 3 there's been no shortage of designs for them to turn into figures. Hell, if I was a member of a sixth scale forum I'd probably be complaining about how many Iron Man releases there have been too. If you want to get doubles of even one release you're at $ 700 to $ 800. Yeah they complain a lot. I feel like if they do any re-issues it will be diecast so they can charge more. I'll probably hold off on a MKV. Me thinks they don't complain any more, or less, than Macross or Transformer fans. I've got two Mark 42's and one Silver Centurion on pre-order and they are killing my budget. But I'd be hard pressed not to seriously consider some older movie designs if the figures were tweaked just a bit to provide for some better articulation or fixes over previous releases. But then I'd complain about how many more Iron Man figures are on the market - . Regarding the Starboost armor, for me it's a very easy pass. It's an interesting design but I agree that it doesn't really mesh with the overall aesthetic or other armors - especially if you've only got limited space to display a 6th scale figure and want it to be something "iconic". -b.

Gakken85 Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 Took some decent photos today of my T-600 Concept. I need some batteries unfortunately. I love this guy coming out of the box. Sweet range of motion, killer accessories and a great look. Gonna try to do a video review later today.http://imgur.com/a/6THqQ Quote
Vepariga Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 The eye lights really bring out the menace in him. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah, it's a whole nother figure with the eyes. I got him sealed so the original batteries were long dead. Didn't realize I had some that fit him til after I took most of the pics. I'll have a video review up soon Quote
GU-11 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 That T-600 looks sweet, Gakken! Those eyes...they shine right into my mechanical soul. Speaking of Salvation figs, I was hoping HT would make a fig of those Terminator "bikes", but after so long, chances are slim that they'll ever be made. On the other hand, it took them almost ten years to release an RE4 Ada Wong to go with Leon. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah those bikes were really cool. The overall design of the film was fantastic. Too bad the story sucked Quote
GU-11 Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Yeah those bikes were really cool. The overall design of the film was fantastic. Too bad the story sucked LOL! Ain't that the truth! The only things I remember about the movie was it's use of non-human terminators, and very little about the plot. Quote
skullmilitia Posted January 5, 2014 Posted January 5, 2014 Too bad they canceled The Bat, I really wanted to see that! I dropped the ball when I dropped my PO's for the last Batman DX and the Bat Pod. Quote
GU-11 Posted January 6, 2014 Posted January 6, 2014 Too bad they canceled The Bat, I really wanted to see that! You mean the 1/6 version (confirmed canceled) or the 1/12 one? I haven't heard anything about the 1/12 version; it was last shown as part of a teaser for upcoming releases, which included the armory set. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Too bad Iron Man 3 featured the Iron Patriot armor instead of War Machine 2.0. WM is pretty damn sweet; http://www.elljay-hobby-collection.com/2014/01/24/war-machine-2-0-ironman-3-ht-mms-diecast/ Might have to track one down for myself. -b. Quote
anime52k8 Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Meh, the original War Machine looks way cooler than the 2.0/Iron Patriot suit. Quote
Kanedas Bike Posted January 25, 2014 Posted January 25, 2014 Meh, the original War Machine looks way cooler than the 2.0/Iron Patriot suit. In your opinion, I owned and sold my copy of the first War Machine 6th scale figure from IM2. Like most of the earlier Iron Man releases the ability to pose it in a dynamic way made that figure "meh" in my book. I rather like the cleaner aesthetic and evolution of the design. Plus the poses it's able to achieve are miles ahead of Mark I. -b. Quote
xrentonx Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I have the repaint of the first WM and this one poses a lot better. Might have to track one down myself... Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 (edited) I like the new war machine design better. + the diecast makes it a must have. I was going to drop some coin on a Mark VI but I think I'll wait and see if they release more diecast stuff. Edited January 26, 2014 by Gakken85 Quote
skullmilitia Posted January 26, 2014 Posted January 26, 2014 I'm holding off the War Machine IM2 2.0. IMO it's the iconic suit as far as I'm concerned. Quote
Gakken85 Posted January 27, 2014 Posted January 27, 2014 I can't figure out why AmiAmi and HLJ are trying to Charge $350 before shipping for the Diecast MKII and then sideshow has it for $290 shipped? Never seen the Japanese sites charging that much of a difference. That's pretty bass ackwards. Quote
