MisterPL Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 (edited) Random thoughts: - I ordered mine on the 23rd and got it today. Pretty impressive service all things considered. - I generally prefer metallic paint on Iron Man armor but I have both versions now so I can't complain. - I really do like the extra shoulder armor on Hulkbuster. Wishing the original came with those. - Just a little disappointed that Hulk's armor wasn't sculpted but not all armor is so it works for me. - Stands are always a good thing! - Given the packaging, I can see any excess inventory being given away at one of the Disney parks. Overall this was a pretty painless premium. I didn't have to suffer through the movie thanks to reviews here, the video went to a young friend for his birthday yesterday, and thanks to Toy Karma I have a second set on the way. Life is good.

Prowlar Posted December 31, 2013 Share Posted December 31, 2013 I Didn't have a problem with the painted armor but it did inspire me to do my own version of an Iron Hulk. 01 Marvel Iron Hulk by Prowl-Ar, on Flickr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buttheadsmate Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 I've got these in hand now, thanks to a certain Hulk fanatic, & I have to say I'm mightily impressed with them . The packaging itself is worthy of note ,a simple yet oh so functional clear plastic clamshell which is about the most perfect vehicle for carrying a Minimate around your person without losing half of it! One little gripe is Iron Man's pants ......WTF are those black lines coming from ? Everything else is spot on ,they're all nicely painted with a distinctly retro feel to them . The Hulkbuster is almost better than the original TRU version whilst the Hulk continues to grow on me . Love 'em . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arnim zola Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 Just watched the movie. It was laughably bad at points but mostly I was sitting the stunned for an hour. I think if Zzzax had been one of the mates Id have been stoked but after you see him in the movie you just want to shoot your tv. I just went back to the store and got my money back.

Shanester Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I think the Hulkbuster could use a little blackwash to bring out his details, but other wise its a cool figure. At retail, its a bit of an expensive set, but I have found a couple of stellar deals on the disk that have made the overall price of the figures a little more digestible. I guess its to our advantage that the movie is not very good... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lobsterman Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 (edited) I'm curious to see whether these turn up somewhere else at some point – Marvel Studios booth con exclusive? Edited January 16, 2014 by Lobsterman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been able to pick up a few brand new factory sealed Blu-rays on eBay for $10 shipped, and they arrived just as advertised with working codes. $23 for the set of three is a much easier pill to swallow.

Shanester Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I'm curious to see whether these turn up somewhere else at some point – Marvel Studios booth con exclusive? I can only imagine they will. It doesn't seem to me that this will be a huge seller of a DVD/BD, and add to that many buyers won't opt to buy the figures, and then add to that the offer ends in about 6 weeks.

homestar17 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 One little gripe is Iron Man's pants ......WTF are those black lines coming from ?. This totally just made my day. I've been sitting here for the past several minutes giggling like an idiot & scrolling back thru the posts to find a pic to see because I can't remember what this IM looks like. Thanks, R!

VulcansFury Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Can anyone answer a question for me? I ordered them, but my e-receipt only lists the $9.99 pack, but there's no mention of the freebie Iron Man. Was I supposed to click multiple selections? I thought there was an option for all three, so maybe it's just not listed on my e-receipt? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterPL Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 I think you're okay. Mine read the same way and I received all three. $9.99 covers them all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
