Looks like Hot Toys is starting to push back a lot of their fall/summer releases. Cap, Thor and Joker have all been changed on Sideshow's site. Sucks, but more time to save I guess.

anyone think the sculpt of tony stark in the iron mark VII is a little poor?

I think it looks pretty good. I think the pictures I've seen look kind of odd as the eyes are tilted upwards in a lot of them, but that can be changed since the figure has the PERS feature.

It's definitely a nice sculpt, but it doesn't quite resemble Tony Stark as much as the Mech Test one, imo.

BStecke · 08-19-2012, 02:00 AM

The Stark sculpt doesn't have PERS. PERS is only on DX figures.

I like the facial expression as it's got a little more personality than the sculpt that was included with the Mark IV, but it's definitely not 100%. I think it's that the eyes are a bit too small. It'll probably get tweaked though like most HT releases.

Ah for some reason I was thinking the Mark VII was a DX. I must have confused it with a different figure but I swore I read it. Either way the sculpt is pretty decent if you ask me. I'm not a big fan of how he's looking up but whatever.

shdl83 · 08-19-2012, 02:30 AM

i was thinking of getting it but then saw the sculpt, will wait for a better release. will probably pick up the batman dx and the joker dx

any others people recommend?

Mike86 · 08-19-2012, 02:40 AM

I think the new T-800 from Terminator 2 that's coming out looks pretty sweet if you're a fan of the films. I'm probably going to wait and see if Hot Toys does a battle damaged version of it though. I sorta wish I'd have known about Hot Toys a few years back. I'd like the Bank Robber Joker and a Harvey Dent/Two Face. Maybe they'll do a re-release of Harvey at some point though. The Barney Ross they did from The Expendables is pretty sweet too.

BStecke · 08-19-2012, 05:21 AM

I think Harvey can be found on the cheap. I've heard he's kind of disappointing though. Not so much sculpt wise, but I've seen a lot of people say the clothes are pretty poor.

Sky_Captain · 08-19-2012, 04:33 PM

Harvey's price has crept up quite a bit. He's great figure, if you're prepared to mod him a bit. I just stained the shirt, made the world of difference.

shdl83 · 08-20-2012, 09:46 AM

arghhh, dont know which ones to get. will probably now only get the joker as there seems to be too many things wrong with the batman

also hope that they fix the socks on the joker and give him suspenders!

I do agree. However, when my Mark VII arrives there will only be one way to display it's badassedness. And that will be in full armour with the helmet on!

I can see where these collectibles could easily get out of hand. I told my girlfriend I'd only ever want a Reeves Superman (which I already have) and a Marvel cinematic Iron Man (which I've ordered). But, I see myself drooling over quite a few others available on the Hot Toys website.

JOKER. nuff said

BStecke · 08-20-2012, 11:39 AM

The Batman figure looks fine in the Anicom photos. The official release photos make his face look a bit weird, but both the Anicom photos and the Toy Hunters window display look pretty accurate, even if the TH one had something weird going on with his left eye.

Well, wipe away that drool and pre-order them right away. By the way, how many figures do you have right now?

Have you seen anymore pictures of the Catwoman? I've only seen the teaser image.

Just the teaser. I am very curious as to the hair of cat woman. Will it be like a Barbie? Im not sure I would want a Barbie...

Just 1 (Reeves Superman) and I have 1 ordered (Mark VII Iron Man).

I can't justify the cost of these to order all of the ones I want. I have to really narrow it down to the "absolute necessities." And, with the girlfriend chiming in about buying property and starting a family in the coming years, $300+ for dolls just does not equate nicely in those plans. Honestly, I'm lucky and greatful to have these 2 (my favourites by far) as is.

I understand. Each one has a set of priorities in life. At least you have superman and Iron Man to keep you company when your GF is away...

Well, with just Superman keeping me company for the last 3 months while she's been in Japan, it has been a little awkward.

Iron Man won't be joining the party until well after she returns. She returns in October

. Iron Man arrives in March
