The chrome is absolutely amazing on the Mark III - I can't wait for mine. I thought the D100 Mark VII looked nice but this one is just on another level. I'm surprised this is not as limited as the D100 Mark VII.
I'm glad you like it! Those promo pics from that retailer make this look so much redder. Maybe it's the lighting on the real chrome that leans it towards the pink end.
For me this is the same problem as the black and chrome - everything is all one treatment. It would define the features so much better if some parts/one colour was more regular metallic or satin or whatever and the other chrome in both instances. And notice how the chrome treatment messes up/completely overpowers the details especially with the face, and basically makes the figure a statue/"power pose". Anyway as I said for me. And this is totally my bias but when I think of red and gold I think Iron Man. Red and silver/chrome, it's Ultraman! Too many years of conditioning!!
oh yes, this is soooo pretty and shiney! you know another Midas is coming. Of course there are all of the chrome storm troopers they need to add to too. So very very pretty!
Pity they didn't think to connect the suit to the base, so that when you use the sub the suit lights up also. The Midas gets my vote for the next chrome version!
If makes anyone feel better, I dont believe the shoulder weapons are backwards. If you watch the scene where he saves the civilians, the shoulder weapons look like this from the front. I think on the back side we are seeing the shells of the bullets (like we would in a hand gun).
Not for me. In metallic this would have been cool, but in chrome the reflections are just way too much for me and wouldn't add to my collection. Love that you enjoy the figure
You know hot toys does amazing work but some things they do just makes me upset for the price your paying for their product. Now I understand everything has gone up in price and you get less for your money so less extra accessories I can understand. But the things I can’t over look is stuff like what your dealing with the shoulder blasters on this Ironman. Mean everyone calls it out for em being backwards, yet release after release the new stuff still comes out and lo and behold the missiles are still backward. But it’s not just that. It’s also things like Star Wars base with the permanent foot prints in the base. Them making it were you can’t place your own pose on it cause the permanent foot prints mess up the posing itself. Or the clone troopers dc-15s blaster were the stock of the gun won’t work cause it can’t move over the trigger itself to lock into position making it like a long gun more like, and that piece was always loose so it dangled Only took them forever to say hey let’s not invest $ to fix the issue, no let’s just put a dab of glue on it to make it stay in place but still your can’t use it as a stock. As say. Think hot toys are awesome but as say for the price we’re paying for a lot of times just a repaint, they could at least maybe give better accessories at times or fix the issues people have complained about for years on social media and in person at their shows. Sorry for the rant but seeing those backward missiles yet again. Grrrr, it just gets my goat
Mine is on the way and I thinknit was my first bad purchasing decision ... do not like it at all 😔. Was hoping it's going to look good besides my Black and Gold Mk7 ...
The color looks nice and all but this was something I knew I didn't need because I already own the Mark 3 and it has a lot more compared to this one not to mention I don't like this idea where they're not providing flight pole stands they don't want your forget to fly like come on give people the option
@@thinkbeforeyoupost9766 The original figure hasn't been in production for many years now. The new 2.0 Mark 3 (and the Mark 2 that is currently available for preorder as well) is an entirely new figure that doesn't share any components with the original Mark 3 release because the new 2.0 figure is slightly larger in scale than the original. This red and chrome version is the same figure coming off of the same production line as the new 2.0 Mark 2 and Mark 3 figures. It's just finished in these "special" colors instead of the original colors. I have three of the new Mark 3 2.0 figures and I have this red and chrome version preordered as well.
@@thinkbeforeyoupost9766 The only "toys" I collect are the 1/6 and 1/4 scale Hot Toys Iron Man figures and I always get two of each 1/6 scale figure. One to open and one to keep sealed. IDK why. It's a really bad (and expensive) habit. So I preordered two of the "special edition" versions during the initial two-week preorder window to keep them both for myself. After the Mark 3 figure went on waitlist for the final time, I threw my name on the waitlist just for the hell of it. I had never actually gotten an opportunity to buy a waitlisted item before, so I didn't really expect to get an opportunity to get another Mark 3 2.0. But I ended up getting an email a few weeks after putting my name on the waitlist, and I was able to buy one of the "standard edition" versions. The reason I bought the third one is because I believe this Mark 3 2.0 figure is going to be the "grail" 1/6 scale Hot Toys Iron Man figure in the future. I think it's going to be the one Hot Toys Iron Man figure that everyone wants, so I suspect it is going to be very valuable in a few years' time. So I bought the third example with the intention of selling it a few years down the road. I am not a "reseller", and this is the only time I've ever bought a Hot Toys figure with the intention of selling it for a profit. But like I said, I think this Mark 3 2.0 figure is going to be really sought after in a few years, and since I ended up getting a waitlist opportunity to get it, I went ahead and bought it.
Why not go back to the House Party Protocol figures???? Make figures that were actually in the movie? Hammerhead, Piston, Jack, Tiger?????? The Mark 10 is awesome....C'mon!!!!
More and more Iron Man... Can't you get enough??? For someone like me who doesn't have any, okay, I choose one and that's it, but I think they have already released too many. How many more are they going to get??!!!!
That is a one shiny ass Iron Man figure. Looks great.
I was going to say get some gloves. Easy way to polish those figures

the best chrome man

This is right up my alley. I’ll have to get one chrome variant of one of the armors
I bought it because of your review@ nice iron man, love the chrome and can’t wait for the chrome mark 2
Reminds me of the NFL robots. Steelers and The Cardinals
Definitely want to get this one.
Pity they didn't think to connect the suit to the base, so that when you use the sub the suit lights up also. The Midas gets my vote for the next chrome version!
my eyes, MY EYES, magpies are flocking around your house

This Ironman is fire 🔥
Gold Midas would be sick in chrome. I would be kinda pissed if they did Mark II since it’s still up for preorder.
Omg, one even shinier than the second version 😱. Dang it, I wouldn’t possibly be able to justify getting a second Midas
USB C though, is this a new trend for newer HT stands/bases? Because the base included in the MK3 1/4 set required actual batteries
I know you will buy it. Nice review
Well I'm gonna say it, the first version of Iron Patriot would be a must for me.
Nice fig!
Not for me. In metallic this would have been cool, but in chrome the reflections are just way too much for me and wouldn't add to my collection. Love that you enjoy the figure
This version of the figure is just not for me. But I will say the stand that comes with it looks awesome.
beautyyyy

Is this Mark 3 2.0 or the original?
It's the 2.0
Oh wow that’s for your reply I have it on preorder and now even more happy that I did how can you tell the difference?

Far too shiny for my taste (looks toy-like), but happy for those who like it.
Totally unnecessary. Totally getting one.
Another meh iron man…😢
Iron Meh?
