This is going to be the newest Robert Downey Jr as Tony Stark headsculpt to be released soon. When the Hot Toys Iron Man Mark IV figure was first previewed in April, Hot Toys only mentioned that a "Newly developed alternate head with authentic likeness of Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark in the movie" would be included but photos were unavailable at that time, so now that they have nailed the 1/6 Tony Stark portrait, we get to see how he looks before it ships out to us :)
Not too shabby at all. Definitely head and shoulders above the original first version headsculpt
Tony even comes with a pair of kooky sunglasses
Not only that, he also has a donut box. You remember the scene: At what he believes is his last birthday party Stark gets drunk while using the Iron Man Mark IV armor, forcing his friend, Air Force Lieutenant Colonel James Rhodes (Don Cheadle), to intervene. Rhodes dons Stark's Mark II armor and after battling him, delivers the armor to the military. Stark wakes up and flies to the nearest donut shop for donuts where Nick Fury (Samuel L. Jackson), director of S.H.I.E.L.D. shows up.
Oh look - there's only one donut left. Anyone hungry?
that thing is Amazing!
ReplyDeleteyup! Hot Toys brought the ART of Toy to a whole new level, so much so that people really began to sit up & take notice - Toys aren't just toys anymore, they are ART in their own right :) Yay for us collectors
ReplyDeleteNo regret on the pre-order..yippie :)
ReplyDeleteNice but not a patch on the sergeant barns head
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks joneefubar ;)
Sorry to be the party poopper guys but the resemblance just seems a bit off to me. The eyes are too droopy. Maybe its just me but so far the best Robert Downey/Tony Stark headsculpt is the Mech Test Version. They should have just reused the mold and maybe just give him another expression.
ReplyDeleteYes Armand, I agree with you. The headsculpt is a bit weird to me as well. The head in mech test version is the best so far..
ReplyDeleteHi Gurus, Which would be the best suit for a HT TT body? I want to make use of the RD headsculpt but not sure which body and/or suit to match it with.. thanks in advance
