1st version can sell higher even though leg piece cant open fully, cause the colour is has more pearl effect than 2nd and 3rd version.

if they decide to release ironman mk v or whiplash mk 2 habislah I sure poisoned...

I think MK V already on the way.... but Ironlash not sure...

Mark V......with triangle-shaped arc reactor?

MK V a.k.a. portable armor...


this is MK VI

I have these 2 before. Yes the 1st issue color is better. I sold both of them and got IM BD.....

still waiting for your t800 pics!

MMS119- Sarah Connor body review update

1. As was seen, the exterior torso was used for Chacha Asai, So is the internal. As with Chacha Asai's body. it has a wide range of articulation (pic below), but extreme will distort the rubber torso.

more on Chacha Asai body. (Scroll below for Sheva's arms)

2. Arms articulation is identical to Sheva Alomars. I suspect identical internal mechanism. Sorely lacking swivel motion which King Leo has. Swivel for the arms are relegated to the internal ball socket within the torso (Just as with Sheva)
3. Neck connector (ball on a stick) is shorter than that on TTF.t

Below is Sarah Connor doing ballet, the limited hip articulation/range restrict it from a more graceful pose.

i still have my 1st version...

but the different abdomen colour and chest armor is obvious....

then.... drop d price

Are hot toys ironman limited items? As in, they only produce a limited quantitiy?

from what i know, all Hot Toys stuff are produced in limited quantities... how limited? we wont know exactly but 1 thing for sure is, with Hot Toys, once they stop the production of a particular figure then tat s it... no reissues or anythin like that (unless there are changes to the figure so tat it ll be released as a totally new figure)

Ok, many people suspect HT marketing strategy as such...If they feel they figure might not do so well, they'll just throw in the tag "Limited Edition"! Take blade and wolverine. they both have that!

Unlike SS, HT don't tell us the edition size they'll produce. But they are not Hasblow or Pandai who will reissue like nobody's business So I consider ALL HT as limited editions.

exactly, i edy feel HT stuff are all actually limited edition thus i dun reli und the "Limited Edition" tag on some of the figs... even the upcomin Iron Man Mark IV if i m not mistaken. it ll make more sense to use the "Limited Edition" tag on their toy fair exclusive figs.

thanks for the information..
really like the damage version of Mark III but can't afford now so afraid it of being sold out.. :s

HT likes to recycle.... Most figures uses standard TT, with only head sculpt and tailoring difference. Tailoring I bet is the major time/energy/production cost of HT, after which is painting.

For IM Mk.3 mold the recycle many colour variants, Though Mk.2 is unique. BD Mk.3 is a new figure in it's own right. T-600 most obvious milking..... I would say unique single use bodies/figures by HT are more worth it.

Agree liquid bro. Mk IV, I think they scared people wait for MK VI. So they use their Limited Edition card! War Machine consider one design only, HT think sure sold out (I feel will sold out quickly also)

That is why if you like a particular HT better get on a pre-order! Or can gamble and see second hand market how. But usually HT prices quite stable unless you're talking about those Real Limited Stuff show Toy Fair or their older figs like AVP 1 figures and maybe Robocop.

figures like batman OC n superman returns oso damn high price wei... heheheh... war machine pre order is sold out everywhere la so no worries for HT there... heheh

n yea, if u like a HT figure, PO it... or get it if its still on the shelf, once its gone... be prepared to pay goreng price for it la especially if its a popular fig from a popular movie

Added on June 8, 2010, 4:57 pmwell, to be fair, its the basic n simple rule of manufacturin... reuse wheneva possible... but even tho most figs use the standard TT, the head sculpts, costumes n accessories are wat usually set 1 fig apart from another so its definitely not an issue la, at least not for me.

actually, like u urself realised, IM Mk 3 actually oni had another color variant which is the gunmetal bcos like u said, Mk 2 n Mk 3 BD are unique figures but definitely agree wit u on the t600... milk kow kow, squeeze dry dry... heheh

To elaborate... Mk.3 and Mk.2 shares many identical parts (only a few exterior armours differed, just added inaccurate bumps to a few existing armour sculpt)... You could say ONE general mould/sculpt/design generated 3 figures for IM movie (though Gun Metal is not in the movie). Mk.2 & BD Mk.3 shares a head sculpt. All share hands and light up-head.
