The company has truly embraced this blockbuster Marvel film and continues to produce amazing movie-accurate 1:6 scale figures. With the Iron Man sequel hitting theaters today, Hot Toys has released yet another incredible figure based on the original film, the Mark III (Battle Damaged).
The tooling and details on this new Mark III surpass that of its predecessor by a long run. There is an incredible amount of intricate sculpted details all around the armored suit which make it look strikingly realistic. This figure includes a brand new head sculpt of Robert Downey’s likeness wearing the Iron Man helmet. The portrait head bears a striking resemblance of Downey in his portrayal as Tony Stark. The Tony head includes a removable face plate which can be placed covering the portrait face or on top of the helmet. The face plate magnetically attaches to either part of the head but tends to slide out of place easily when placed on the top of the head.
The figure also includes an additional clean helmeted head with light-up function. The detailing on the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark III’s various components, such as the air flaps on the back and air brake deployment system on the legs, are truly impressive and look incredibly realistic. The inside of the Mark III’s removable face plate features a surprisingly amount of sculpted details which makes the piece looks more realistic. Overall, this new version of the Mark III has significant new details which were not present on the previous release and there is a lot more tooling on the armor this time around which clearly outdoes its predecessor.
Like the improved sculpt, this version of the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark III features a much better paint job in comparison to the regular release. The red and gold paint is more metallic on this particular release which significantly enhances the look of the armor. The armor is also riddled in scuffs, scratches and blasts giving it a much more realistic and tangible look. The Tony Stark head portrait features a bloody wound and is and closely resembles Robert Downey’s look during his climactic battle with the Iron Monger. As expected, this piece is painted with the highest level of accuracy and precision with significantly enhances this already amazing piece.
Though this version of the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark III is much more versatile than its predecessor, the figure has a lot less articulation than other Hot Toys figures. The limit of articulated joints is acceptable on this piece primarily because of the tooling and shape of the mech suit. Although there are numerous additional articulated parts on the figure, they do not lend them selves to the positioning of the figure. Hot Toys has managed to make the figure as versatile as possible without sacrificing the overall look and film accuracy of the Mark III.
