who'd make a better 1/6th-scaled iron man mark-one figure?
so okay, if anybody's ever going to make a 1/6th-scaled version of the Mark-One
(from the Iron Movie) - i'd rather it be made by Hot Toys = CLICK TO READ WHY
and i don't even really care (much) for the headsculpt within (Tony Stark) - as long as the armor and moving-bits are weathered as beautifully, and the details insane'o. Hot Toys have recently been pretty much the IT-producers of detailed 1/6th, IMHO [tagged] - consider their recent track-record with mecha-themed products, like Aliens Power Loader, even ED209 (Robocop) and even Ex Machina :)
sure Medicom could give it a go, but it may not be as weathered (of coz i could self-weather, but given the regular price-points, why would you wanna work even harder?). Takara may indeed give it a good go (but the price points may yet slap me down LOL) ... SideShowToys will be my next
I'm going with either Hot Toys or Takara.
ReplyDeleteHot Toys because their recent products have been nothing short of fantastic.
And Takara because, judging from their Jin-Roh and Batman offerings, it seems that they have pretty good know-how of how to make decent armored figures.
I'm going with Takara. Even though they might have a higher price point compared to the other manufacturers, their products are certainly worth it.
ReplyDeleteHot Toys would be a close second, but looking at the number of intricate parts this thing would have, Hot Toys might not be a good choice. Granted they do have what it takes to produce details at 1/6, but they are just not all that sturdy, even with normal posing. QC is a problem too, I've had stuff that was already broken in the box.
As for Medicom, even with oil hitting US$100 a barrel, plastic shouldn't cost that much! =P
