Queen Studios Mark 3 (1:4 Scale)

[Phoenixblazes]

I've only got the Mark 1 on preorder, so I'm quite interested in this one.

And Sideshows original Mark 3 Maquette is mostly accurate. As it is one of the few 'Maquette' pieces which seem true to the name. In that the figure of the statue itself is near identical to the 'Hero shot (with stuntman)' which was used as reference during the movies production. It was never really from a movie still. And in the actual photo I don't believe you can see what he was standing on, so it's left to our imagination.

I've got pretty much all of Iron Studios MCU lines, which means I've already got way too many 1/4 scale Iron Man statues, especially once you add Sideshow's Mark 3 Maquette and Hot Toys 1/4 Mark 43 (the latter of which on any other day is my favourite 1/4 scale Iron Man piece in my collection).

Part of me wishes I hadn't gotten the Iron Studio's Iron Man figures, but I don't like breaking lines, otherwise like Mo all of these would've been mine to preorder.

I don't like the pose with the Iron Monger base. Who's he suppose to fighting?

Love it. Hope there is a left hand switch out as well. Will I ever get the Heartbreaker armor in 1/4 ?

I doubt it.

I think the only high level collectable produced of the Heartbreaker armour was a 1/2 scale.

meh, what a let down for the most iconic armor imo. The OG SS Mark 3 is still the best one to date.

I feel the same way. The MK 3 is THE IM suit. It should be the flagship statue.

Except for the muddy boots.

I still remember so many collectors on the forums taking erasers to it, to knock it back a bit.

Yep, that's what I did.

Tough crowd.

I think if the first reveal of this was on it's own, the reception would be more unanimous. Amongst the whole line-up, it doesn't stand out - no - but isolating on it, I still think it looks damn good.

Honestly, I don't think there are that many cool, statue-worthy poses for Iron Man. He looks coolest when he's aiming repulsors...how many ways can that be done? He's not Spider-man, who contorts himself in tons of ways.

Well it’s easily better than the 3 I have from Iron Studios. I myself prefer the heroic pose he’s got on the first Mark 3 Maquette from Sideshow. Currently I don’t have any 1/4 scale Iron Man statues on preorder from Queen other than the Mark 1, as what I’ve got currently is too many as it is.

But honestly whenever I compare my 1/4 Queen pieces to the other manufacturers I currently have, the Queen in most cases handedly wins.
