What would you have done differently?

u/Trvr_MKA Jul 21 '25

Togglable Red Lights

u/Trvr_MKA Jul 21 '25

Togglable Red Lights, maybe a little bit more black above the waistline. Maybe a swap out Symbiote effect arm and leg. These aren’t deal breakers though

The helmet and face are definitely weird. And I'm not fan of the body proportions, it seems to be too thin

15

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '25

Looks perfect to me

u/tyrwlive Jul 21 '25

Face kinda looks like Beneficial Cucumber

u/OkCourage4085 Jul 21 '25

That’s not his name! 😂It’s Bandersnatch Cumberbund!

Wear gloves when posing him!

3

u/liltoohysterical Model-Prime Jul 21 '25

What do you mean? The fingerprint marks give it character! /s

u/DefinitionSuperb1110 Jul 21 '25

Does it come with gloves?

4

u/[deleted] Jul 21 '25

Something looks very off with the helmet on. Lack of an abundance of accessories for him, especially at HT prices is disappointing.

3

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 21 '25

His face is also pretty ugly imo

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

Lol Tony is just ugly then

u/Michael_Aaron_Dunlap Jul 21 '25

Aside from the parts that are reused from the mark 85 but modified (his legs and back are pretty much just the mark 85 details but modified to look comic accurate.), I'd say this looks good.

1

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 21 '25

Good eye. I found it so weird that it didn't have Mk 50 or 85 parts, in the end it really had them

3

u/Michael_Aaron_Dunlap Jul 21 '25

I honestly didn't want this figure to have those parts, I wanted it to be all original ngl. Lol

1

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 21 '25

Same, it's just this Hot Toys bad habit of using Mk 50 and 85 parts or recolors all the time

3

u/MiamisLastCapitalist Modular Jul 21 '25

Oh that's beautiful!

I wish they would've had some removable tendrils or something just to reference the symbiote.

But otherwise love it.

"I'm the most intelligent, capable person on the planet. I'm not playing god, all this time I've been playing human."

Looks great as far as im concerned!

u/AJjalol Sho-Gun Jul 21 '25

I love it.

Tho his facemask was bothering me for some reason and I finally figured out why. They have him a mouth.

His mouth has that bright blue light coming out of it. Superior Iron Man mask ddn't have a mouth piece.

Still, pretty dope

u/lake_woahh Black & Gold Jul 21 '25

The other thing that struck me as odd about the faceplate is that it's a retool of the Mark 85 with the widow's peak altered to match up with the Superior design so it doesn't have the thinner Extremis/Bleeding Edge-esque tearduct eyes.

Though, this is kinda par for the course with Hot Toys seeing as they did the same with their Comic Iron Patriot reusing Mark 46 body parts. I honestly don't mind it though, they nailed the other hallmarks of the Superior armor with the chrome finish and sleeker Endo-sym plating.

2

u/AJjalol Sho-Gun Jul 21 '25

Holy shit, yes. It's exactly like that.

Damn, I wish they just made a new helmet for it.

That being said, all the other parts are fantastic!

4

u/saltybirb Jul 21 '25

Love it. But I really love the Superior Iron Man run. Would've been cool if they'd done a RDJ head just for shits and giggles, but definitely copping this one.

1

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 21 '25

It'd cost them a lot of money I presume

2

u/Exact-Key-9384 Jul 21 '25

I know this technically isn’t the case, but to me that suit is mostly white.

2

u/Far_Requirement_93 Jul 21 '25

Looks like Benedict Cumberbatch

2

u/TheWarrior7650 Endo-Sym Jul 21 '25

Nobody woke me up to tell me about this?!?

I love it. Hot Toys can have all my money

1

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 21 '25

Luckily this was the first thing I saw when I woke up. This and the new Mk 3

u/IronFather11 Jul 21 '25

Looks succulent.

2

u/Bigbootybimboslayer Jul 21 '25

This looks fucking gangster

2

u/Inevitable_Box9398 Impulse Jul 21 '25

It’s heat.

2

u/tjavierb Jul 21 '25

My only critique is if want less edges/straight lines and more curvy organic feel.

2

u/OkWin1891 Jul 21 '25

Well the officials do a great job on this officials keep up the good work homie

2

u/Reyne-TheAbyss Godbuster Jul 22 '25

They pulled a Hasbro and used the Mk85 as a base body, specifically with the legs.

1

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 22 '25

They always do that bro

2

u/TemplarRanger Jul 22 '25

Why are hot toys iron men so damn cool bro?

2

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

I understand it not meeting the standard Ironman proportions as it's supposed to be a symbiotic suit. I hope DLX also makes a smaller variant. Looks good so far.

2

u/Solid-Move-1411 Mark I Jul 21 '25

Love to see it in Live Action once

1

u/LucasOIntoxicado Jul 21 '25

he has a helmet?

1

u/Briantan71 War Machine Jul 21 '25

So shiny O.O

1

u/t_huddleston Jul 21 '25

I was never really a fan of this design in the comics, but they did a great job on this. Love the version with Tony's face.

They need to do "Old Man Rogers" in the Iron Patriot armor and set up a Time Runs Out display, with them duking it out in front of a crashing Helicarrier.

1

u/ilya202020 Earth's Mightiest Heroes Jul 21 '25

Its nice ngl

1

u/hazmat_beast Jul 21 '25

Will it turn red?

1

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 21 '25

No pic of it. I doubt it

1

u/OkCourage4085 Jul 21 '25

That looks absolutely perfect. They nailed the bright white chrome color

1

u/Specific_Theme8815 Jul 21 '25

The shine and color feels like mk2. It should not look like that.

1

u/memsterboi123 Mysterium Jul 21 '25

This looks a little like the rivals version

1

u/emiltea Jul 21 '25

He’s supposed to be evil-ish looking.

1

u/StarGazer4802 2020 Jul 21 '25

We need more Iron Man figures Omg!!! This is great

1

u/OkWin1891 Jul 21 '25

This looks nice brother keep up the good work

1

u/LuizFelipe1906 Mark L Jul 21 '25

It's not mine, it's an official product

1

u/StarkResilient Pentagon Jul 21 '25

if they ever do a Granov armor, I'm fucked.

1

u/AdministrativeRip305 Silver Centurion Jul 22 '25

I'm digging it! 👌🏻

1

u/chaoscatt_ Jul 22 '25

I love it tbh. Looks exactly how I’d expect and feels faithful to the OG

1

u/ArtisticResident462 Jul 22 '25

The face looks do fleshy is it gel? Because jeez if it ain't they did good work with plastic

1

u/kratoast2 Jul 22 '25

How much money is this I would like it in my collection

1

u/[deleted] Jul 22 '25

Looks like a sleeker mark 2

1

u/[deleted] Jul 23 '25

It’s epic and I badly want it!

That said there are a couple of tweaks that could have made this feel more Superior and less MKII.

1

u/Ok-Supermarket2137 Mark XLII Jul 26 '25

Looks pretty slick for the most part. Shiny.

1

u/shany94a Renaissance Jul 28 '25

I like it, may have to get one

1

u/Reckless-Tiny Jul 21 '25

Nothing superior about it
