NECA Iron Man 3 - 1/4 Scale Iron Man Mark 42

[Tim]

I want them to make Antman/Giant man or A Black widow 1/4 scale Figure now!

No lights in the eyes? Ouch! Looks like its broken with only the chest and palms illuminated, and the eyes darkened. I like the removable faceplate idea, but I'd still like some lights in the eyes. NECA should just make the interior of the helmet light up, so Tony's face is illuminated when the faceplate is off, and the eyes are lit up when the faceplate is on. I'd like it even if it came with an alternate head with the light-up eyes, and had to pay a little extra.

I completely agree about the eyes not lit up being a major disappointment, but I'm sure what you suggested would be far too expensive to keep it at 100 unless it was a SDCC exclusive or something next year maybe. But they'll have something better next year

GENIUS! They should totally make a 1/4 scale Civil War Ant/Giant-man! Then we can just add him to our MCU 6" figure display

He would be awesome and we could put him with our MCU figures he would be perfect scale! Imagine how detailed and Great he would be.

Just a bump to add some new info--this seems to have somewhat recently fallen off NECA's shipping calendar. Originally slated for October, and no longer listed for either January or February.

My BBTS preorder hasn't been cancelled or anything... it still says Jan, but they've just been pushing the date back each month, so it's not a good indicator.

I assume it's coming at some point, but anybody have any behind-the-scenes info on this one?

Haven't heard anything myself. I wonder if they're trying to space out the 1/4 scale releases a bit. There's a ton of them on shelves right now from past few months.

EDIT:
Looking around at the usual toy stores, and all still list as a January arrival. It may still ship soon, but perhaps no longer has an official date in which it does so. I'm not sure though. I'll try to keep an eye out over next few days, see if calendar or dates get adjusted.

Interesting. I guess that explains the delay. Wonder why they scrapped the removable face plate. I see the listing was updated on NECA's site too. Release now says April on there.

Hey All,

Pardon me if this is a dumb question, but did NECA already produce a 1/4 version of the Mark 7 armor? I see a battle damaged version, but I'm looking for one that looks nice and clean and shiny new.

Edit: Never mind, found it, but for US$300, I'll pass. Good grief!
