karamazov80 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 is it me or do theese minimates look a bit busy? i agree with the 2.5" scalle as it would make the mates look a bit less cramped and that iron man has like No gold paint on him :biggrin: That seems to have been the trend with Minimates recently. They have moved away from the simplicity of the early Marvel figures to often having detailed, sculpted heads and torso add-ons, amongst other things. Just compare the first Iron Man released with the movie version, or the original Hulk with the Defenders Hulk. I like both, but sometimes I also think the more recent Minimates are a bit more complex than they need to be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drgnrbrn316 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 There is gold on the gauntlets, helmet (obviously), and legs (obscured by the camera). As far as the extensive detail, some figures warrant it, and others do not. It'll likely be the biggest minimate debate of all times.

Big Bad Voodoo Lou Posted March 25, 2008 Share Posted March 25, 2008 Don't know if you guys remember the original pictures from Toy Fair, but there was an eighth Minimate pictured: another Tony Stark in a white "wifebeater"-style undershirt, with the thingee in his chest, presumably from when he was held captive and made the Mark I armor. I'm not sure if that one was eventually dropped from the lineup or DST will be coming out with it later (or possibly for the variant). This is weird -- the Toy Fair Iron Man Minimate pictures aren't on Action Figure Insider or Marvelous News, but I distinctly remember seeing them, with that other Tony Stark included!

The general guess on that one is 'wifebeater' Tony stark is actually what is under the MK1 Armor, if you looked at the pix you can see the MKI has flesh coloured arms under the armor add-ons. Same goes for the MKIII, you get Tony stark in his 'Techno-long-johns' I made that one of my 'ask chuck' questions to see if they will confirm or deny it though T.

Did you mean this? I had to save this, just in case. Picture source was Superhero Times.

Fo Shizzle Posted March 26, 2008 Share Posted March 26, 2008 Yeah you can tell from the pic it's 'wifebeater Tony" underneath. That's cool! I'm wondering if the parts are going to snap on or have little pegs to attach onto him. That'd be cool if they just clipped on so you could use those other pieces for other customs...

Deadpool Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm stll iffy on the knee movement for the MkII/III. They seem like they COULD be immobile. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onyx_6 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 I'm stll iffy on the knee movement for the MkII/III. They seem like they COULD be immobile. To me it looks like they are just really big boots. Assuming that they don't come up as high in the back, knee movement should be fine.

karamazov80 Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 Not figure related, but some cool new pics of the movie just showed up. You know it's a comic book movie when someone picks up a car and throws it at someone else: http://www.aintitcool.com/node/36175 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

God Magnus Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 official announcement on the DST homepage today confirms the armor add on pieces!!! Jeff of the Miniacs Also, the add in the new Previes reads, "All armored figures have removable armor pieces revealing another figure underneath!" That makes me very curious about the possibility of a tiny Jeff Bridges hiding under the Iron Monger armor that we haven't seen yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 lets hope they stick to the release date, it may be 4 months after the cinema release but its just before the dvd release i still think its a shame that they don't get them out in time to go with all the movie hype but nevermind!!!

Fujis Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 There's a huge high-res image of the Iron-Man wave over at Marvelous News Think the actual Mark III armor will be shiny? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
winkerbean Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 these really look the bee's knee's i hope there's enough interest in them so they don't go the way of the ghost rider wave.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniFiend UK Posted April 3, 2008 Share Posted April 3, 2008 Nice pic. If DST get them out anytime between the movie release and the DVD release there should be no problem with sales. The main fault I see and I hope its a just a prototype is the Gold and Red IM at the front the mouth/jaw isn't straight it slants upwards.

I think this is a result of the removable face plate on the mask. If you look closely the picture I posted on page 3 of this thread, you can see the face mask removed next to the Mark III IM. I just hope it stays on better than the Zombie Iron Man mask. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
infallible Posted April 7, 2008 Share Posted April 7, 2008 These are looking more and more slick the more I hear about them. Finally got around to going through Previews and saw the muscle-shirt Tony. I may be tempted into getting two sets of most of these to display both the armored and un-armored versions. NIce.
