You are close to me. I am in Palo Alto.

Mine is from BBTS, and the arms fall off very easily even when firmly clicked. Just moving the elbow joint can cause the arms to fall off. If anyone wanted to actually play with this as a toy, it would be impossible. Also the face-mask falls off way too easily and I don't like the obvious seam from the side view of the head. I think they should have included one head that was a single piece. Don't get me wrong, I think this is a great item and I am happy with the purchase, but as others have said, with a few tweaks this could be the figure of the decade. I'd grade it a 4/5.

Nevermind. I guess one of the batteries I used (brand new Energizer) was a dud. I replaced the batteries and it looks like the LED is working now.

Call me stupid, but how do I get the eyes to light up? I've tried all the button combos and no light. The chest lights up, but not the eyes.

I believe the price is $450. I am going to probably pass since I already have every Iron Man from Hot Toys to date.

WTH? Why has mine been in the warehouse since the 30th? I dont get it. I paid immediately after items became available... That is unacceptable! This is my first time ordering through BBTS and I am kind of nonplussed. If that had happened to me I would be even more unimpressed. I never figured it would be February before many of us got this figure from them. I feel bad for Chachi. That is LAME Are you sure you don't have the pile of loot setting on? I had a friend do that the first time he ordered from them before and he had no idea why they weren't shipping his stuff.

Got mine yesterday. I wish it came with an alternate head with painted eyes. I don't plan on installing batteries, and it just looks weird without painted eyes. In dim light it looks like it's eyes are missing. The arms are an issue too. Honestly, I would have preferred it with no removable armor, no electronics, no base, and solid metal. The base is too large for my current display space since it is so deep. I may try to find another place to display it, but I am running out of space with the Hot Toys Tumbler, Hot Toys Iron Man Gantry, Hot Toys Ghost Ride w/bike, and Iron Monger all in my display. Not to mention about 90 other 1/6 scale figures, and all my other robots. I think this base might take more space than an Transformers Fort Max (in robot mode).

Do what I did. Tell your bank to not allow Matty to ever charge your card again, and then cancel all orders. I spent over 20 hours on the phone trying to get them to fix my orders and they are too retarded to figure it out. I even cad conference calls with my bank, Matty managers, and me on the phone. Still they couldn't figure out how to charge my card. I had multiple subscriptions from day one, and now I get nothing from that failure of a company.

UPS already has mine in California, so I may have a shot of getting it a day early (Tuesday).

Hot Toys 1/6 scale Iron Monger, Hot Toys Hawkeye, Hot Toys Captain America (Avengers version), Franklin Mint Corvette Z06 (exact model of my real car down to the interior color and options), and Bandai DX Mazinger Z (hasn't arrived yet).

I own something like 60 Hot Toys figures (not sure I want to count them and add up how much they cost me.) These are GREAT quality. The fragile figures are Medicom, and I would avoid those. It is just a matter of time before a Medicom hip or shoulder snaps. Hot Toys figures are showing more issues in newer figures with some paint flaws, but it is fairly rare. And we are talking MINOR flaws, like the slight gloss issue I had with my Bruce Wayne figure seen here- Hot Toys is by far the line I collect most. I will not be collecting their 1/4 scale line and probably not their new die-cast line. I'd like a die-cast Iron Man, but I already own every other Iron Man in the line, so it just doesn't seem important to buy a $450 dollar Iron Man. If you have questions about specific figures, I can give some feedback. I own pretty much every marvel figure to date (except Wolverine, which I wish I had bought), Appleseed figures, Bruce Lee, and Dark Knight figures as well as their 1/6 scale Tumbler Batmobile which *IS* fragile.

This was a pass for me because I don't think the costume looks good on the action figure. I actually didn't mind it in the movie, but I don't like the gloves and whatnot on the action figure. I don have the 3 figures from Spiderman 3 though. Here is a quick picture of Symbiote Spiderman and his base-

Here is a picture of mine that I took a while back. You can see Hot Toys Bruce Lee and a bit of Ghost Rider's bike in the background.

Mine is on pre-order through my LCS. I own pretty much all the figures in the line, but I am passing on TDKR figures due to lack of space and funds. Batman's costume isn't radically different in TDKR, and I don't care for the Bane design much. He is way too small.

If these were based on the 1980's cartoon or comics I would buy them. But since the first movie was among the worst movies ever made, this is a big pass for me.

I've got every Hot Toys Avenger figure to date, but I am passing on Coulson. I am just not interested in a dude in a suit who doesn't come from the comics. BTW, Iron Monger is BAD ASS! =)

Wow, I just notice that the shipped weight is 20.40 lbs! I wonder if that is heavier than my Hot Toys Batmobile...
