HT is milking the Iron Man franchise till its dry! Crazy to collect all the suits. Tony Stark may have unlimited $$$ cheat code but not collectors tongue.gif

I haven't even seen IM3 yet! But the new Mandarin Mansion assault Tony Stark looks like the best headsculpt of Robert Downey Jr I've seen so far. Too bad it's got blood and bruises on it.

People already complaining "Another iron Man??? Another Tony Stark???". Some people said the suit is seen in movie for like 5 secs only and HT making the figure?

Batman and Man Of Steel on the other hand. 1/12th scale Bat and Batman fig. Argh!

Off topic but I think ccyeoh79 complained about Hot Toys damage. I just found my album.

Stored it in box like this, thought can protect the figure.

The result is heartbreaking - dye from cape bled onto neck and parts of the suit! cry.gif

Superrman looks like he's bleeding.

Come to think of it, even if I didn't wrap the cape around the figure, long term contact could have ended up with same results. Thought of getting some fabric dye and coloring over it but don't know the end result.

Alternatively, thought of removing the S shield and then the suit and dipping the whole suit into blue dye to get an even color.

Else this has to be a "Doomsday/Kryptonite Stabbed Battle-Damaged Superman"

Maybe it's time to get the Henry Cavill Superman hmm.gif tongue.gif

Initially I wanted to buy white baseplate to put.. But is there white baseplate available for Lego? I never encounter one before unsure.gif

Dont buy baseplates, buy normal plates. like 8x16 (~RM6 each) The 16x16(~RM16) is not worth it nor is a white baseplate about RM50.
You can always use a cheap blue one on the bottom. Yes the cost adds up to the same but you get versatality in having separate baseplates and white 8x16 plates which are very handy in many scenarios.

No problem and sorry, can't really comment on the quality. Plastic seems solid enough and probably comparable to LEGO. No experience with Brickarms stuff.

However, some moving parts may be really delicate and break easily. I suspect these might break off with age.

An example would be the tiny bar on the helmet to attach the night vision goggles via a clip in the goggles. That bar is probably half or 1/4 mm thick!

The clip on the goggles itself has a moving part which swivels so that you can pull down the goggles over the minifigs eyes.

The fit for the pistol holster varies. I bought 2 different types of handguns - Glock (which has a slightly squarish barrel) and Colt. The holster is squarish too and fits the Glock snugly but the Colt sort of wobbles a little due to its design.

But that said, the level of detail is incredible for such tiny items. That's what I like about them. The guns are really detailed with grooves etc making them look realistic.

Example, I bought 2 different types of shotguns and there are even spare shotgun shells molded on the side of one of the designs!
*
Yes I like the level of detail and most of the gun fit well to my minifig except the UMP gun (a little loose)

Haha! Perhaps we should order together then. nod.gif I'll be buying in multiples of a few hundred to thousand for one specific part... Just myself alone cannot use so many pieces... Hahaha! rclxub.gif

Yes but availability changes from week to week...

You know the Pick-A-Brick (PAB) wall in the Lego boutiques? I am able to order those PAB boxes. wink.gif

If you want to make those giant Lego sculptures you will need to buy the bricks this way... nod.gif of course official Lego designers/builders get to order their parts directly from Lego, privateers like us can only order like this...

Alrighty! Finally I'm almost at the border! rclxms.gif Have a good weekend everyone and see you all next week! icon_rolleyes.gif

Hot Toys (and other competitors) have known issues. Don't know about my Superman issue though. It was fine when I bought it. It only happened after I wrapped the cape around the figure for "additional protection".

Some other issues are like color fading (hence Iron Man getting pink undies), dye transfer to rubber bodies, rubber parts and bodies tearing and breaking down.(decomposing?). One batch of Batman had sweating abs - oil seeping out from the ab armor plates which are made of rubber.

Plus I'm sure there's lots more issues reported.
