Yep, that pix is the Iron(milk) Man, ... not my cup of tea...
Mark VII is nice but a bit too busy, with the silver pads etc.

Still hoping for an reissue of Mark IV. Heard War Machine in Iron Man 3 will be Iron Patriot, look a bit like Captain America color except it's an armor.

Mark iv has been reissued with gantry release.... Roughly RM 600 you should be able to get one easily... though retail of original Mk.4 is around RM500

Hi BeastX,

I've looked around but most shop is selling pre-orders with Gantry @ RM1,599... If can get reissue Mark IV at RM600, please let me know where.

Really tempted to get one

Try to get it thru Ebay, I saw one selling at 700 few days ago~

Hehe... RM700 for Mark 4 don't think worth it, might as well get Mark 7 at the same price during pre-order. Might as well wait next year or 2014...

anyone know mark 1 2.0 come as local set is normal or special edition?

anyone knows where to get ironman mark 6??? i think mark 6 is the best armor

Search on ebay, you might get a lot...cost more than RM800, LOL~

mk1 ver 2...wow...

rm800 not worth it ler... waiting for reissue, haha

Reissue is Avengers edition but no BD parts... BigBangToy has the 1st edition Mark VI last 2 weeks ago.. try contacting if your lucky they still have stock..

Actually 800 is reasonable coz it retails at 680 bout 2 years ago.. Adjusted for inflation, i'd say it's about right.. Inflation - one of the fundamental reasons for pre-ordering

ht marty mcfly?

I don't see it that way. Sure, there's inflation but we're not talking about gold or some landed property. The figure, whilst great is just like any other consumable asset, like cars. It will:

1. Deteriorate over time, no matter how good one keeps it
2. Colors will fade
3. Technology will be improved e.g. articulation which will render the old model obsolete once the new version is issued.

Of course, this is just from an outsider (non-collector) perspective. I've seen the values of some old models of Hot Toys go to WTF prices, so in terms of supply and demand, there's still (limited?) demand even at very high prices. I wouldn't pay at those prices though, couldn't afford to either.

Having said all that, I still find it hard to resist.

Well said bro.. But i'm referring to the inflation of money - The general increase of price over time.. Not the appreciation of value of the figure.. RM1 now may not be worth RM1 in a few years time.. How i miss those days where u can buy an ice cream for only 20 cents

Just imagine if HT were around in the 80s.. It would have cost only RM50 each

agreed wat u said, those new collector better wait for new version or take new released figure, unless u really cant resist n like it so much, then just pay higher, like me, i bought my mark6 bib at a higher price.. cos i cant wait n i felt mark6 is the best ironman so far for me.. its diorama stand is diff n BD effect..

Haha... ya I understand... but inflation offset against depreciation = same price mar
At least that was what I was thinking when looking for 2nd hand Iron Man Mark IV.... but prices now is approx RM700

Haha, we think alike... now, I just try to stay away from looking at pix or watching Iron Man or Avengers movie, very poisonous

Haha.. That price would cover a small inflation but mostly an element of speculation

Yep, you're right... Cheaper to buy preorder, if the model I want is reissued

Guys need opinion

this is my 1st Hot toys iron man should i buy Mark V(Rm500) or Mark Vi(RM900)?

is the mark Vi over price?

ThX!!
