They're just not aesthetically pleasing to me. I don't need a name plate to tell me who the bust is of.

That's good. I prefer that. Satisfies both crowds.

Yep Canadian as well!

Lately it's been pricy due to covid but it used to be pretty reasonable for overseas pieces. I know he's been working hard to find some better deals on shipping, honestly his customer service is top notch.

So do we all.

PO'd with Todd. This piece is going to be epic.

So it sounds like this bust and all others going forward will be made with more direct supervision from QS. It sounds like they have their own factory now? Perhaps I misunderstood that.

It's good to hear that they've learned from their mistakes with the Mark 50.

I think they've had their own factory but they are branching out so much it can no longer keep up so they farmed out MK 50 thinking without silicone and really only about 3 colors it would be okay. (Also they assumed too much with the battle damaged version and solicited it on renders only instead of an actually produced piece-check for your self the damage is on the wrong side in the CGI promo images)
Well China still gonna China, and quality will always be a hit or miss uphill battle even among native compatriots. Queen is the 1st Chinese design company to have major western licenses, yes?

Hopefully they don't need to re-learn from their mistakes because I DO learn from mine.
Based on this weekends POs the ES on this is gonna be huge.
Who knows what shipping will be by the time this releases and based on the depth of it there's little to no chance it'll be a single box.

:Ahhh dammit! I caved, this just looks too good to pass on and it's my favourite of the more 'traditional' armours (before the nano tech). I've got plenty of time to make some space, what won't be so easy is explaining to the Mrs why there's another ironman bust coming!

ES of 5000 on this?

Well the Mark 7 is the most popular armour. Or so it seems with all the variants that Hot Toys produced of the suit.

Heck the Mark 7 is one of my least favourite armours and yet I’m thinking of preordering this bust because it looks so damn good.

With my personal reasoning is that I need something pretty major to represent the first Avengers movie.

And has any one noticed that it doesn’t seem to have a name plate on this bust, or least I didn’t see one on the original set of photos.
