Play Imaginative upcoming Super Alloy Iron Man Mark VII 1/6 collectible figure with Hall of Armor

There's the saying "Strike while the IRON is HOT!" which is to say "When you have an opportunity to do something, do it before you lose your chance."

It seems that many companies are taking it too literally when it comes to IRON Man ;p Everybody wants IN on the piece of the action, a taste of the pie. Due to the success of Marvel Studios "Iron Man" films, Hot Toys was the first to capitalize on them to make HUGE profits from dishing out endless Iron Man 12-inch figures in every variant and color and type. They had collectors eating out of their hands buying everything they sold, sometimes even more than one per type.

Now other companies have joined in the fray. This is Play Imaginative upcoming release: Super Alloy Iron Man Mark VII 1/6 scale collectible figure which will come with Hall of Armor. Pre-order is now open for sale in Singapore only. Well, what do you know? There's something actually coming out from Singapore.

This all sounds GREAT but I would really have loved to see actual product pictures (even prototype images would have been good) of the Super Alloy Iron Man Mark VII 1/6 scale collectible figure rather than these computer generated images. I would love to see the 50 points of articulation in action poses to show what it can do.

I had seen this figure on display at the 2012 STGCC last year and posted pictures HERE but the Super Alloy Iron Man Mark VII 1/6 scale collectible figure was also placed in a static standing pose without any action poses to show off its articulation and range. The size and scale didn't impress me either and I found myself more drawn to Hot Toys version which is cheaper and seems to have more detailing plus a Tony Stark head sculpt to boot.
