A IM statue with working lights...read carefully it says only a red/gold armor version will never be offered with the lights http://cgi.ebay.com/Iron-Man-Comiquette-Prototype-With-Lights-UNIQUE_W0QQitemZ160140892053QQihZ006QQcategoryZ2622QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem


kinda leads me to believe they have another IM with lights ready. Any thoughts?

[Shaihulud]

I'M POSITIVE THEY GONNA REVISIT THAT STATUE WITH THE NEW MOVIE AND ALL...WITH THE WORKING LIGHTS...THAT WILL BE AWESOME..PEOPLE WHO PAID 800$ FOR THE OLD ONE WILL BE PISSED.

[darthmatrix]

It could be a light up PF :buttrock:...now that would be sweet.

This auction is for a real treasure, one of only two ever made, a prototype of the Iron Man Comiquette featuring working lights built into the armor. Excited about the upcoming Iron Man movie, the development team at Sideshow returned to the previously released Iron Man Comiquette to develop a new edition of the statue, with working lights and a new paint scheme. The working lights were developed before the new paint was ready, and two pieces were produced with the traditional red/gold armor. One of the light-up statues was given to Robert Downey Jr. to celebrate the first day of filming on Iron Man, and the other was reserved for this auction. The Iron Man Comiquette will never be offered for sale with the red/gold color scheme and working lights - this is your opportunity to own a true holy grail.

This means there must be a new edition if this statue with working lights and a new paint scheme going to be released.

they only did these because the new paint wasnt ready.......whatever that means:confused:

It also means that whomever wins this auction will pay a ****load of money only to (maybe)find out in the end that the only difference between theirs and the newly released one would be the paint.

No. You guys are putting too much thought into a poorly worded paragraph.


In my opinion it is saying..."We got excited about the movie and wanted to do something special. Originally we planned on not only including the lights but also a new paint scheme but we got lazy and fell behind so we half-assed it and just added lights. We only intended on doing a small run for important people and events"

well if it happens then thats cool, if not oh well.........

[GangstaRoranous]

I think it will be an entirely different pose and based on the movie design. No way Sideshow will release the same statue with minor tweaks....that's just weak. :thumbsdow

[Karma]

yeah cause they didn't do it with the Hulk diorama or PF

It should be a PF

[GangstaRoranous]

I am not out to start an argument but there are major differences between these two situations. Let's just wait and see what happens. I can bet you almost anything that you will not see the same pose or look in a new Iron Man statue from Sideshow. :thumbs2: Not saying that it isn't beyond the realm of possibility but highly unlikely to occur. :)

[darthmatrix]

There are 3 diffrent version of the spidey PF...so I suppose its possible but probably a light up movie version or comic PF is more likely.

[Karma]

Buffy PF, thunderball PF?

[darthmatrix]

Buffy PF, thunderball PF?



both good examples :thumbs2:



either way if SS makes it im buying it :)

[GangstaRoranous]

Buffy PF, thunderball PF?

You win. :laugh:

I wouldnt hold my breath, look what they did with Spidey PF:banghead:

But whatever it is I hope its a good one:thumbs2:

[Karma]

of course, all this will only be a good idea if I get one :laugh:

[endless1]

:banghead: I was going to bid o the ironman, but I decided to buy a house instead.

lol. :laugh:

[kingdomhearts]

I will put 10 grand on the iron man

[Ink]

I will put 10 grand on the iron man

are you insane?

[cap70]

Stan Winston did the Iron Man armature for the movie(a heck of an awesome job, by the way) and is involved in the Iron Man movie, so a Stan Winston Iron Man movie maquette is pretty possible in the near future.

[kingdomhearts]

are you insane?

Nope, Im just a true collector!

[Karma]

are you insane?

now now dear boy, you can't have money & be insane....he's purely eccentric :thumbs2:

[Karma]

Nope, Im just a true collector!

let the flame war commence :laugh:

[Colossus]

I would love a light up iron man, and as far as collectors go I think on a scale of 1 to 100 with 1 being someone that has 3 marvel action figures that are heavily played with and 100 being a collection stan lee would be proud of I woould say I am somewhere in the high 70s, I probably have 25k-30k in statues now but spending 10k on 1 is in my book just out of my league for now. I am 34 and run 2 separate businesses and invest quite a bit in real estate buying a house normally every 4-6 weeks and extra money that I have in the 5k-50k range usually goes more into investing that way.

[Colossus]

BTW where is this information on the website that is saying that there might be another light up iron man in the future?

[kingdomhearts]

I'm just kidding Guys :laugh:

I would never spent 10 grand on a statue, not even 3or 4 grand.

2 grand on the iron man? Maybe
But it is already pass 2 grand.

Oh well, I guess those pieces on the auction right now are meant for the rich people.

[patman]

I'M POSITIVE THEY GONNA REVISIT THAT STATUE WITH THE NEW MOVIE AND ALL...WITH THE WORKING LIGHTS...THAT WILL BE AWESOME..PEOPLE WHO PAID 800$ FOR THE OLD ONE WILL BE PISSED.

well, i would love a revisit of the Hulk PF with a light up feature :confused2

[k-9]

it sounds to me that ss will make another ironman statue with light up feature as part of the new film.

we might even see it announced at sdcc.

sdcc or not it will happen,just a completely different pose/design which will leave the light up comiquette still unique.

[cougartrace]

when there is money to be made, you never know what SS will do

[Darth Pain]

yeah cause they didn't do it with the Hulk diorama or PF

The difference there is that the Grey Hulks were offered at the same time as the Green Hulks.
NOT 1 year later. Like the IM quette.

I highly doubt that they will reproduce the IM statue for the public. Most likely they will make new ones with different armor and paint.

Oh and lights too..:buttrock:
