TBT!

Two questions, 1) Can others order those parts? 2) How much Do they cost? T. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

monkeycrumb Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 We aren't allowed to. Set did fine, as far as I know. AFX only had a small portion of them at the show. And response on this board was underwhelming, but I don't think that will reflect the response at retail. >We aren't allowed to. Set did fine, as far as I know. AFX only had a small portion of them at the show. And response on this board was underwhelming, but I don't think that will reflect the response at retail. Which was the worst selling set of all time, Alpha Flight 1, Alpha Flight 2, or Thor? Just curious. Hey now! Those were actually great sets! Thor was only disappointing with the Beta Ray Bill triple re-use (TRU, LCBS & here). Loki was incredible, Sif was a very welcome addition, and Thor was to be expected when the set is called Thor, but still a good figure. Alpha Flight, while a team I have no interest in whatsoever, is still well made, complete, and all new figures, no rereleases! It was really sad these didn't do better, because the principal behind them was one I'd love to see carried forward (Wrecking Crew!). Now it looks like we're not going to get any real team-builder 4-packs that don't have A-listers in them As for the Iron Man 3 AFX SDCC set, I figured it was better to get one in person than to pay shipping later. It's still a very unexciting set but it wasn't really made for us anyway. But an inclusion of "Dummy" the robot would have gone a loooong way to making this set better and would have fit in perfectly, and I'd have paid an extra $5 to have him in there.

I think there is a bit of confusion. I personally loved the Alpha Flight sets and have 3 of each version and I am contemplating a 4th which is what made me think what a second I have never had an SDCC exclusive be so available to me before . Also, if Diamond got burned on these niche sets that would make them gun shy and explain the DP, Thunderbolts, and Wolvie Sets. Again, I love them but then again I am a grown man obsessed with getting a Crystal minimate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK Collector Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 If anyone out there is trying to get a good look at the various armours for customs, the IM3 game for the iPad (and I'm assuming other tablets) has a hall of armours menu where you can view, zoom and rotate all of the suits.

Zak Katz Posted July 30, 2013 Share Posted July 30, 2013 No Maybe 20, but you can rotate them 360 Degrees How awesome is it living in Hawaii? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurch77 Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Some armor designs from the movie (better angles and unused suits). He also has some for The Wolverine too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Ah, man, those would have made really cool 'mates. I've never been a huge fan of the Igor design, but I would have loved Gemini and Snapper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Punisher Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 Love the idea of a hodge-podge of armors for the final battle. Would have been an excellent payoff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastweaponmaster Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Hi everyone. Does anyone know out of the 8 Iron Mans in the SDCC Iron Man Hall of Fame Box Set, how many are new minimates (not previously released versions) and which ones are they? Thanks.

lastweaponmaster Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 The Mark III, the Mark III (battle-damaged), and the Mark III (SDCC set) (Hail Ivan!) Thanks for the info. Just trying to justify getting the full set or just the new armors. Damn that completist gene! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TM2 Dinobot Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I'll paint that BD on a MKIII for half the price for you. So... $25 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I've got a Hall of Armor shelf to display Tony's suits. I'm thinking the SDCC suits will replace the ones I've got up there for the most part. The rest will be custom fodder for new "concept" designs.

kaipo Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 (edited) Technically they are all different/"new" figures because they have a blank red head underneath as opposed to the Tony head. Apart from the mark 3 and 2, there are only slight differences at best Edited August 2, 2013 by kaipo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zak Katz Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 They made an updated two already though, and the heads underneath the helmets don't really matter in a hall of armor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted August 2, 2013 Share Posted August 2, 2013 I do like redheads. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youbastards Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 (edited) Just a quick FYI, the "Hall of Armors" Mark I has a slight molding issue with the left foot, I'm assuming it is common as mine looked like Ivan's, only it was more pronounced. It initially looked like the feet were on the wrong legs. (Hail Ivan!) A quick dip in boiling water fixed it right up, and now both feet can sit flat!

MisterPL Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 It occurs to me that all the sculpted details (and the cost thereof) are what kept us from getting more new armors from Iron Man 3. Back in my day, Iron Man Minimates didn't have all that fancy, schmancy tooling! And we LIKED it! Makes me wonder how many folks would have settled for an old-school line of Iron Man 3 Minimates with mostly a basic body and terrific tampos. (Hail Ivan!)

Lobsterman Posted August 28, 2013 Share Posted August 28, 2013 I agree with you for the most part. I personally like the sculpted helmet over the tampo'd plain head cap, but I think the sculpted upper arm and upper legs are a bit excessive; most of that detail could be easily achieved with tampos. Maybe do sculpted chest caps for bulkier armors (like Neo Classic), but as is shown in your examples, a lot of of IM's armors look just fine with tampos. I suspect we got a lot more into sculpted parts for the movie line because it was intended to appeal to a broader audience than core Minimate collectors, and they wanted them to seem more "action figure-y" than the standard block bodies might look on casual appraisal.
