Rescue wasn't exactly a best seller for Hot Toys, despite being an important companion piece to the Mark 50 in the final battle against Thanos. I imagine this was due to the usual factors of not liking the character and other fandom.. quirks, but I'm pretty sure the impressive price tag, particularly Sideshows, didn't help.
I actually ended up with this displayed one while I was cruising around NYCC '23. It was just kind of sitting on a vendor shelf, unloved, and was one of the better deals I saw at the show at $200 USD. Sadly, I later discovered that the Pepper Potts head was scuffed and needed to replace it, but by that time I was all in anyways.
With the head finally arriving last week, I was ready to do my thing.
I believe that Rescue was one of the lower priced Stark suits, and from a an accessories perspective it shows. It's not so much underwhelming as it really is basics. The Repulsor palms are more the 45 degree type and double has hands for the neat blast effect, which are in addition to the fists and articulated hands. No battle damage parts or panels to interchange other than the mount on the back. Of course LEDs in the hands and the dedicated head are back, and the typical Base/Stand are present.
I'm not a huge fan of organic looking armours and all that, but that's a preference thing stylistically. I am, however, always amazed that we have the technology to actually manufacture these, though, with a high degree of accuracy. I'm pretty sure this adds to the price, and rightfully so. The Infinity War/Endgame pieces from Hot Toys showcased a lot of this, as does the ThreeZero Transformers line, like with Arcee. My awe is further increased because I can't use CAD very well.
Speaking of ThreeZero, having handled both their stuff and the Die Cast Hot Toys stuff, both are both fragile relatively speaking, but it's not like they're made of paper. Pretty much don't do anything too crazy and keep your eyes out for rubbing parts, and you'll be fine. I find the difference between the two is that Hot Toys designed their figure for sturdiness in mind, whereas ThreeZero seems to take desire for posing into consideration as well.
Actual articulation for this figure is like the rest of the Die Cast Iron Man lineup. It's not badf but you're pretty much doing some generic and stiff looking action poses when you need to suspend disbelief and rely on viewing angles.. unless you're a poser like me and goes with more unconventional poses. I do like how at least you can get a proper head tilt on this subline. Wrist joints are non existent due to the lights for the forearms, as is just a ball joint.
For obvious reasons, I'm pretty sure this is the most articulated female figure that has ever been produced by Hot Toys.
The proportions are off, but that's pretty typical of these figures. I just tend to notice it more on female forms as I don't exactly stare at dudes very often. Head is a bit big as well. The Pepper Potts sculpt is average, a very stylized look with the most generic female features possible. But hey, at least they got the hair colour right and the sculpted hair doesn't bother me.
Paint and Build Quality are great, though I mostly attribute that with the fact this is an Iron Man suit rather than the usual costumed figure. I guess if anything, the frame used to mount the wings to the back of the figure are flimsy, focused more on looking invisible than stability or strudiness.

It's not badf but you're pretty much doing some generic and stiff looking action poses when you need to suspend disbelief and rely on viewing angles.. unless you're a poser like me and goes with more unconventional poses. I do like how at least you can get a proper head tilt on this subline. Wrist joints are non existent due to the lights for the forearms, as is just a ball joint.
For obvious reasons, I'm pretty sure this is the most articulated female figure that has ever been produced by Hot Toys.
The proportions are off, but that's pretty typical of these figures. I just tend to notice it more on female forms as I don't exactly stare at dudes very often. Head is a bit big as well. The Pepper Potts sculpt is average, a very stylized look with the most generic female features possible. But hey, at least they got the hair colour right and the sculpted hair doesn't bother me.
Paint and Build Quality are great, though I mostly attribute that with the fact this is an Iron Man suit rather than the usual costumed figure. I guess if anything, the frame used to mount the wings to the back of the figure are flimsy, focused more on looking invisible than stability or strudiness.

Rescue wasn't exactly a best seller for Hot Toys, despite being an important companion piece to the Mark 50 in the final battle against Thanos. I imagine this was due to the usual factors of not liking the character and other fandom.. quirks, but I'm pretty sure the impressive price tag, particularly Sideshows, didn't help.
I actually ended up with this displayed one while I was cruising around NYCC '23. It was just kind of sitting on a vendor shelf, unloved, and was one of the better deals I saw at the show at $200 USD. Sadly, I later discovered that the Pepper Potts head was scuffed and needed to replace it, but by that time I was all in anyways.
With the head finally arriving last week, I was ready to do my thing.
I believe that Rescue was one of the lower priced Stark suits, and from a an accessories perspective it shows. It's not so much underwhelming as it really is basics. The Repulsor palms are more the 45 degree type and double has hands for the neat blast effect, which are in addition to the fists and articulated hands. No battle damage parts or panels to interchange other than the mount on the back. Of course LEDs in the hands and the dedicated head are back, and the typical Base/Stand are present.
I'm not a huge fan of organic looking armours and all that, but that's a preference thing stylistically. I am, however, always amazed that we have the technology to actually manufacture these, though, with a high degree of accuracy. I'm pretty sure this adds to the price, and rightfully so. The Infinity War/Endgame pieces from Hot Toys showcased a lot of this, as does the ThreeZero Transformers line, like with Arcee. My awe is further increased because I can't use CAD very well.
Speaking of ThreeZero, having handled both their stuff and the Die Cast Hot Toys stuff, both are both fragile relatively speaking, but it's not like they're made of paper. Pretty much don't do anything too crazy and keep your eyes out for rubbing parts, and you'll be fine.

The Repulsor palms are more the 45 degree type and double has hands for the neat blast effect, which are in addition to the fists and articulated hands. No battle damage parts or panels to interchange other than the mount on the back. Of course LEDs in the hands and the dedicated head are back, and the typical Base/Stand are present.
I'm not a huge fan of organic looking armours and all that, but that's a preference thing stylistically. I am, however, always amazed that we have the technology to actually manufacture these, though, with a high degree of accuracy. I'm pretty sure this adds to the price, and rightfully so. The Infinity War/Endgame pieces from Hot Toys showcased a lot of this, as does the ThreeZero Transformers line, like with Arcee. My awe is further increased because I can't use CAD very well.
Speaking of ThreeZero, having handled both their stuff and the Die Cast Hot Toys stuff, both are both fragile relatively speaking, but it's not like they're made of paper. Pretty much don't do anything too crazy and keep your eyes out for rubbing parts, and you'll be fine. I find the difference between the two is that Hot Toys designed their figure for sturdiness in mind, whereas ThreeZero seems to take desire for posing into consideration as well.
Actual articulation for this figure is like the rest of the Die Cast Iron Man lineup. It's not badf but you're pretty much doing some generic and stiff looking action poses when you need to suspend disbelief and rely on viewing angles.. unless you're a poser like me and goes with more unconventional poses. I do like how at least you can get a proper head tilt on this subline. Wrist joints are non existent due to the lights for the forearms, as is just a ball joint.
For obvious reasons, I'm pretty sure this is the most articulated female figure that has ever been produced by Hot Toys.
The proportions are off, but that's pretty typical of these figures. I just tend to notice it more on female forms as I don't exactly stare at dudes very often. Head is a bit big as well. The Pepper Potts sculpt is average, a very stylized look with the most generic female features possible. But hey, at least they got the hair colour right and the sculpted hair doesn't bother me.
Paint and Build Quality are great, though I mostly attribute that with the fact this is an Iron Man suit rather than the usual costumed figure. I guess if anything, the frame used to mount the wings to the back of the figure are flimsy, focused more on looking invisible than stability or strudiness.
