The Man in the Iron Mask
Ever since the viewing of the first movie adaptation of Marvel superhero Iron Man years ago, the awesome mechanical design that is Iron Man caught my visual eyes almost instantaneously... Imagine my surprise when Hot Toys unveiled their 1/6 Movie Masterpiece of Iron Man Mark III back then!
However, due to my priority on Gunpla and 1/12 action figures (FigNendo), I've been fighting the temptation to get one of these fine but ultimately expensive figures (Especially the silver bling-bling-ness that is the Mark II...)... But no longer...
It's over now... >,< My wallet that is... Hot Toys finally announced their Iron Mark VI, incidentally my most favourite of the bunch! I must get me a piece! Mark VI will retail at a hefty 26,667 yen and will only be available during end of this year or early the next...
Just look at those gorgeous battle damage parts!!! The followings are copy-pasta directly from Amiami...

Must... Getto... ^^;
You can get the War Machine instead of Mark II! Since War Machine is based on Mark II itself, and I'm sure it's cheaper than out of production Mark II.
Mmmmm.... I've always wanted one of the Iron Man statues. Looks like it's a good opportunity to snatch the Mk.VI (^^) since I missed out on the previous ones.
ive been a ironman fan myself since the movie adaptation
the figures look reaaaallly nice but i cant afford it =(
That's just badass.
Couldn't have said it better myself...
that one hefty price tag....
F!@K.... and here I just pre-ordered MK V and War Machine which is due out on Sep... GG Hot Toys, way to milk me dry. :( *sad mooo*
I pre-ordered the Mark VI from SideShow Collectibles, and this look awesome too.
