looking good, actually laugh.gif i shall await colored shots.. thanks for the information!

a bit of google-ing also brought me to a site where they were discussing which outfit HT would be going for.. i do hope it's the avengers one instead of the black dress we see throughout the show, but some say HT normally just goes for the one we see the most throughout the show.. will wait and see then nod.gif
*
perhaps the outfit in final scene will be out as exclusive...HT usual style! blush.gif

btw, I am also waiting for Scarlett Witch final product too.

For hot toys exclusives, how does one go about getting them? Which toyshops have these exclusive figures ordering service for HT?
*
This is a hard question for me~ tongue.gif

as I haven't get any exclusive before, and till now none of the exclusive catch my eyes except one, but the price is sky high.

you can get in below method:
1. Buy from ebay with fried up price (at least 2X from original price) - Easiest and sure got!
2. check from local toy shop (eg. XL-shop), but they mostly reserve for VIP customer.
3. get friends from HK/TW/SG or any country which got toy fair, ask them to help you make a purchase.
4. Go Singapore toy fair and queue up starting mid-night~ tired and sometimes you get nothing...(if they run on blind draw, you gonna depends on your luck!

hope this answer your question.

It may got other hidden method to get it if you know some friends who have "lubang" for this kind of exclusive.

Nice, but really can't accept the special effect parts.... shakehead.gif  shakehead.gif

Special effect part just want to add on some "unwanted" value, so can jack up the price. blink.gif

Color is wrong.
Bodyline is wrong.

and should be chrome, not just plain color.
Comicave is far more better than HT in this round.

Saw the ironman from shf series keep on improving, on the other hand this hottoys keep going downhill.

My personal thought is the effect part make this premium toy look cheap. doh.gif

Design go downhill, but price keep hiking up and up...that the thing make fans disappointed again and again.

Mark 45 price at near RM1.2k, with no HS, a quite meaningless diorama (other figure have totally no any diorama at all), and some shf-like fire effect accessories.

I think my collection of iron man has ended here.
Quite a disappointment with this pricing.

1.2k better buy statue..

But statue also now damn high. Because malaysia's currency drop 15% and +6% gst summore. Thats like 21% increase since last year.
*
1.2k i can buy around 2 gundam metal build, or at least 6 MG.
or 4-5 PVC figure...

1.2k for this kind of figure is way too damn much.

Just wondering is this mark 45 same pricing as mark 42? Since both of it is die-cast...
(If take gst and currency away, is it the same price as mark 42?)
*
Mark 42 or 43?

42 is in iron man 3 with gold color as major color (diecast too), PO price at RM840 if not mistaken.

this Mark 45, just announce with price at RM1128 exclusing GST.

Taken consideration of the "poor" ringgit performance vs US dollars for the past few months and GST.

I think that they are main reasons for the hike in price.

Just my 2 sen.  smile.gif
*
Besides, add in below item give HT to have reason to hike up the price:
1. Not-really-needed diorama
2. funny looking fire effect accessories
3. HT heavy marketing fees to position themselves become "High-End Collectible" in US market
4. Increase of copyright fees

RM devalue is just part of the reason, not main reason.
you can compare mark 42 US price to Mark 45 US price.

Scarlet Witch has a great HS... the body is slightly small though..  and price is too high

Agree, the body and the price ruin it.
HT not even want to put any effort to develop the specific body shape for scarlet witch, makes the Scarlett witch feels like high-priced barbie doll.

Looks like I am not the only one that skipped mk45. My mk43 just arrived. biggrin.gif

I skip both mark 43 and 45.

Anyway 43 package looks far better than 45.
45 is lack of effort from HT, they are like just create an iron man figure, without HS, put in less than 50% of diecast metal.

I was expect 45 comes with normal base and no HS, with price lower than RM900...who knows, HT play trick with putting in a diorama, giving them a reason to hike up the price. blink.gif

Those who still scalp on iron man will sure lose in near future.
Right now, there are tons of iron man figure flooding in the scalping market, some sell it below PO price.

Mark 43, even stealth and war machine 2 version 2 are everywhere in market.
not saying the previous exclusive like hot rod, peacemaker, also everywhere in the market.

lots of iron man fans have been scared away by HT of their iron man price.
