Hot Toys Iron Man Mark III - Part III

This is the third part of my review of Hot Toys Movie Masterpiece 1/6 scale 12-inch Iron Man Mark III. I certainly had a lot of fun posing him and taking pictures. This figure certainly has all the cool factors going for it starting with the box (yup! the box design and packaging deserves some mention) followed by Hot Toys' fantastic sculpting and detailing in keeping with screen accuracy, all the light-up features (WOW!) whilst still maintaining quite a fair amount of articulation (it's an armor figure, people and most of the things done on screen was computer generated. I seriously doubt an actual Iron Man can accomplish the things Iron Man did - it's a movie and make believe at that. On the other hand, Batman is completely based on a true story and everything's real ;p)

So on with the show: Hot Toys Iron Man preparing for take-off

Lights ON! Iron Man takes flight

Iron Man blasting off!

Close-up view of his light-up eyes and the miniature "arc reactor" embedded in his chest

Now a view of his feet/boots. Hot Toys forgot to light these up - such a pity :(

The repulsor rays from his hands help Iron Man fly

A side view of Iron Man in flight

"Who am I? I'm Iron Man!" oops! wrong movie

This shot shows how the calf armor opens

The whole calf area on both legs can be opened to reveal hydraulics (listed as "leg missiles" by Hot Toys - can't seem to find any "missile")

Here's a view from the side

I wanted to show all the opening, movable parts and flaps on Hot Toys Iron Man Mark III's feet/boots alone.

Now onto Iron Man's back armor

Not only is it superbly detailed, all the flaps open. These were used to help Iron Man slow down during flight, acting as brakes. Yet when the flaps stay down, they do not make Iron Man's back look weird, deformed or distorted. Beautifully executed by Hot Toys.

A side view of all the flaps opened

Hot Toys Iron Man has landed!

Preparing to launch forearm missiles

Stage 1 - top pops up!

Stage 2 - sides slide open

Stage 3 - missiles away!
