I had the first version of this way back in 2010 when it came out and in that one all the rockets and things popped out of the forearms. They engineered it so that before I was with split open and then those things would pull out which was pretty cool. However the proportions are much better on this and it's more accurate. Plus I love the satin finish on this figure
Just ordered mine and should be hand in a couple of days. My first iron man was the 85 and I love that figure the nano style is amazing, however when I got the Mark VII in hand I was blown away, the mechanical aspect of the figure blew me away and I think that’s what drew me to the Mark III, being the iconic first hot rod red iron man suit from the original movie is also a big plus. This the Mark V, new Mark VI and the the Mark 46 Civil War and Concept 46 will complete my Iron Man collection. Think I’ll have the shield on the left forearm with a right forearm rocket with the battle damaged chest and shoulders with the should rockets in the display
I was this close in getting the MK VII but after comparing those two reds, I will wait for the re-issue! It's a shame that the helmet with TS face will likely not be included :(
The Mark 3 had dark maroon paint rather than red. But Hot Toys and other toy companies never get it right. The first Hot Toys Mark 3 released back in 2009 had the correct maroon paint. But still, this one looks much better than the awful 1.0 candy apple Mark 3 released in 2015.
What’s the diecast content and how much it weighs compared to Mk 7? Whenever I pick up my Mk 7 it always pleasantly surprises me how heavy it is relative to size. Wonder if it’s the same for this figure…
I'm upgrading to this latest version. The proportions are more inline with the other Iron Man figures. I'm also looking forward to the new Mark VI as well.
Yes. The same headsculpt as in Mech Test, Team Suit, Mark 46, Mark 47, Mark 50, and Mark 5 Suit-Up. It is really noticeable if you have a Mech Test Tony. The hair swoop is a bit different, but that's it. For the others, they just slapped different hairpiece on it. 😂
This is a significant dissapointment for me: it's too tall--standing next to Captain America they are the same height despite RDJ being 5'9" and Evans being 6'2".. And it shows in how long the body is.. The original was shorter on purpose. Next the base is terrible : the monger was able to hold him in one hand yet the base makes him look roughly the same size. And of course they give zero battle damaged parts for the legs or back so what's the point...? I am really sorry for pre-ordering this. I thought it would be much better but it is a overly expensive mess.. C- at best...
I was extremely impressed with the first MK1 back 13-14 years ago. Compared to what's releasing now it looks like a Walmart toy.
You’re blind if you think that the new stuff looks like shit from Walmart. It’s an objectively wrong statement.
@@cinnamon-skateboarding5987 Re-read my comment carefully.
@@willthebeast8002 oh, shit.
My bad, I’m a little goofy.
@@cinnamon-skateboarding5987 Obvi..
Progress in R&D is necessary + key to success for any MFG hoping to thrive.

And of course this is diecast which makes it even cooler
100%

So glad the got rid of the Philips screw head on the inside of the knee 😅 I’m actually buying this one now!
:)
Could you show how you heated the base? I can’t get the two parts to fit together.

My God the mark VII is still the coolest, in my opinion. Still an awesome piece 👍
very nice looking figure. Terry gave us a glimpse of it on his livestream this morning. I love those little details in the mechanics of the suit.
Very cool
Nice camera man what do you use?

I think the shoulder rockets is install to wrong side...?🤨 the gold bullet should be facing front?🤨
They only install one way. I actually thought the same thing, but nope
Best Iron Man imo. The Mark 3 ist just classic. Love the original looks. Looks so iconic. Can‘t wait for mine😍
This one and MK7, which is better?

And it’s all metal ?
Great poses and great video. Would love to see more posing videos in the future.
Looks awesome but in the end for me the one Iron Man that won’t ever leave my collection is the mark 7. Had several others but it’s just the best
Which would you pick if you could only have this Iron Man or the classic one?
I am getting both, by the way. I'm just curious since you said the classic one was your favorite in the collection before this mark 3 came in.
Depends on preference for comic or film
Unrelated but did you order artisan scarlet witch? I was able to secure one at sideshow 🙌
Nope. No interest in her for me
Was hoping to see a compare with other models to check if the height correction happened -
Great review. If this is the only iron man to collect for 1/6, this is the piece.
Already have the old version..but its temping. Great pose as always
Awesome review! And as you said i'm hyped cause its on the way!
I had already planned on getting this one, but after your awesome pose, I'll definitely be getting one.
Love this. Prob one of the next one of the next ones I get. That base is killer.
I think you'll enjoy it
Is the tony headsculpt the same as the suit up mark 5?
honestly don't know. I have it stored away.
Yes.
The same headsculpt as in Mech Test, Team Suit, Mark 46, Mark 47, Mark 50, and Mark 5 Suit-Up.
It is really noticeable if you have a Mech Test Tony. The hair swoop is a bit different, but that's it.
For the others, they just slapped different hairpiece on it. 😂
Finally , a good review video ! Thanks bro.
Glad you liked it!
This will be my one and only Ironman
I have the previous version and I'd like to obtain this updated die cast figure
good luck!
Tracking mine right now
Awesome figure too expensive for me but absolutely love it
Fair enough!
Sheeeeesh. Time to cash in on that gift wifey owes me lol
I still prefer the MKIV
