Hot Toys Iron Man Mark 1 Diecast Unboxing & Review 

1:13 how he said "IN A CAVE" 🤣 justin, you make my day

One of my favorite suits. It's so crude. I still get chills everytime it powers on for the first time, and how it kills the lights in the cave. Excellent usage of diecast on this, the whole thing feels and looks eerily real. I was surprised how light it was, which is good - I had concerns about how well the body underneath was going to withstand the weight over time, but now, I have none. The ankles are really nice and tight, too. The height is a bit of a problem, but personally, I don't really care about it too much. Definitely more accurate to RDJ himself, but I would've preferred if it scaled up with most of the rest. There are so many things I'd wanna comment on, but I also want to keep these comments on the shorter side, haha. Yet another slam dunk review, Justin!! Much appreciated.

Hottoys's first 1/7 Iron Man figure with the touching price!

Thank you Justin for this unboxing and review video! Excited for this iron man mark 1 release!

That's an engineering masterpiece in 1 :6th scale,it's beautiful in its complexity,well done hot toys,great review Justin,I must have missed it when you released it though

How long we have all waited!!!

I love your videos 📸📸😍😍

Haha with the little voice you put on. "Uhuhuu Justin, Why didn't you get the special edition?" 😂🤣🤣

Spider-Man: I know what I had to do, it's my responsibility to keep my friends and family safe from the hands of the person like you, I have to do it

Greta review as always Justin. One note though! Cross referencing with images from the movie, I actually think the smoother, less detailed metal finish is more accurate! I do agree the more detailed version looks a little bit better though.

so far they nailed the mk1

Looks great, great review. I do think that die cast helmet is intended to be simply an incentive. Maybe that’s why some may find it lackluster.

2:53 I don't wanna be that guy but that's actually an EOtech 552 holographic sight or a similar variant. The ACOG is shaped more like a traditional rifle scope I understand that you're a toy reviewer not a firearm optics expert but as someone who loves the ACOG I couldn't help but point it out lol Awesome review as always

Kind of a shame, the gauntlets are not die cast but it’s not a deal breaker. The detail is too good to pass. Also this figure literally represents the birth of the MCU. I missed out on the original mark I, I didn’t this time. I’m slowly plugging in all the gaps with Irom Man hot toy figures.

best hot toys reviewer of all time

Another masterpiece 🫣👊🏽

I have the 2.0. It looks almost "matte", it doesn't really look made out of metal and it always looks too dark and plastic next to the rest of diecasts. It does have more texture detail but that detail fails to convey the look of real metal. The new one doesn't have that problem, and looks like the actual armor in all scenes in the movie (the way the light reacts to the metal surface and new paintjob vs the overdone textured surface of 2.0). In this case "more detail-shading better".

I LIKED EVERYTHING THAT YOU UNBOX!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️

Is the die cast really better? Well if you’re like me and the die cast is your first and only mark 1 you’ll ever own, then it absolutely is! Really looking forward to getting this one in!

I have all three versions in my collection. Diecast my be too clean but definitely an improvement and less fragile.

The look on his face when you opened up the helmet

My favorite iron man suit. Also I love iron monger. They look so mean and intimidating

The figure is so detailed I love how you can lift the face master suite paint job as well loved the video Justin 😄

I really like iron man mark one

I love watching your vids Justin, you have a great, uniform format. But please just make the pun and leave it 😂 You don't have to say "I am soooo sorry" everytime. Keep up the great work 👍

Thanks for your honest review. I have the 2.0 version. That figure is in my hall of armor. I dig the weathering much better on mine. This new one will be a great buy for those missing a Mark 1 in their collection.

what a strange issue with that stand, too bad they didn't make it a option to use the crotch grabber on either base. That said, I'm still looking forward to having this guy for my collection.

Wow I am waiting for this , thankyou Justin 😎👏

I love your Iron man Unboxing!

I would bet that the back wheel can be disconnected. I had problems with the lights on The Bat and traced it back to micro connectors, which I'm betting are also utilized in this suit and can be disconnected without damage. I guess I'll find out when I get mine from Sideshow sometime in the next two years.

Love this looks so cool. Completely unrelated to iron man but are you gonna be doing a review on marty and doc from back to the future 3?

I have the 2013 2.0 version. I am happy with it and see no need to get the new version. I do like the paint applications and detail better on the older version and personally, I don't need it to be diecast. The new figure is still a nice piece though. Great review as always.....

If you swap the head sculpt from the new one to the old one you'll have the ultimate version, if that's possible =) great video Justin!!

Looking forward to getting mine! I think I may be the only one that won’t mind the fan noise, haha. I was honestly anticipating it to be loud though cause it adds to the presence and raw nature of the suit. Plus, I personally wouldn’t see a reason to have it on if it was so quiet you couldn’t hear it. Especially with it being in the back 🤷🏽‍♂️ Great review as usual though!

They always get ironman so good

You know you are good youtuder

Wow, This review, actually has me stopping selling my Mark 1 2.0. Not sure I'll cancel the Diecast pre-order, but I might have one for the Hall of Armor, and one for a seperate display. Curious if there is a way to disconnect the servo, but keep the lighting.

Wow this guy’s a beast 😱 Also, I have a question about the format of the review: why is there no segment where you talk about the price/value for money and such? I watch reviews on various different topics and I notice that part of the discussion is missing here but not in other, shall we say, industries. Not that it makes much difference to me, but it’s an interesting choice

Finally Justin he is here - after all this time. Great figure one of my favorite iron man. He is on his way next week. Very nice review 👊🏻

Can you get the hot toys iron man mark 7 open version iron man 3 figure

Great review Justin I can’t wait to get my first Mark 1

This is my favourite Mark after BD 85 and 46 )

In hand (I have them both) The diecast face paint is waaaay too clean. The 2.0 has much more character, the face paint is darker (dirtier, just like the film) which really brings out all the subtle features in the portrait sculpt. Also, the belt/codpiece on mine was glued into the torso and it was very crooked. The 2.0 is free floating. Keep the 2.0!

There’s little black wires around the wires like I think there there to keep them together but I peeled one off now I’m paranoid

Thank you again for your honesty and great review. Wow! The plastic version does look better to me too. Sadly I sold my 2.0 version to get this one. I might have to wait for version 4.0 lol

great video, trying to figure out hot turn off that cirvo motor at the back without messing with the lights.

Great review. This is for sure one of the best from hot toys

Great review congrats I'll getting mines next week sometime.

love the review Justin . can't wait to get mine ! do you have a room update coming up ?

Friggin epic

Ngl I love the Mark 1 in general.

I had this charging from sideshow yesterday but I put it on payment plan because I wanted to watch reviews first. I never owned the other releases but I do think this is worth the money. I want this to go next to the 85 (the first and last armor). If I didn't have a prime 1 statue to pay for I could have this by this week, but this has to wait for now.

Very nice, but I'm happy with my version 1 plastic Mark 1 for now.

It's just a box of scraps? lol nah great review, im for sure getting the one that started it all.

That whirring sound is a dealbreaker. Was going to get this for an always-on display. No chance if I have to listen to that. Massive fail

I saw you try 2 move the rubber pieces on both sides but it really didn't move very smoothly & I'm curious because on mine it's the same way hardly any movement or rotation at all. And as for the Generator I think it sounds very nice it adds that little extra to this very beautiful piece & everything else on this IM-M1is awesome!

Great review, Thanks J , glad I have 2.0

so it does not have internal battery??? you always must to plug cable to turn it on?

If you have the USB on, cut the power at the wall and then back on will the features come on? My goal is to turn it on without having to push the little button on the back each time. Does that make sense? Is that possible? Thx

"Tony Stark was able to build this in a cave, with a box of scraps!"

amazing !

I just got my figure and had to watch a review to see how the heck to power it on. I don't like the usb. Why not just use batteries like most of the other figures. I do feel this version looks more movie accurate. In the film you can see the shine of the armor. The plastic one is a bit too dirty and dull. But yet the diecast is a bit too clean.

Great video! I have not been able to activate the lights and motor. Do I need the USB-C cable to be plugged into the wall?

Great detailed review. I don't do MCU figure even though IM is best MCU movie IMO. I don't own a HT die cast but the softer details has me concerned about AOTC C-3P0 a figure I do have interest in. If it turns out below par I don't mind I only buy one or two 1/6 a year.

As someone who loves the clean and "out of the factory" shiny look, I though I would never say this, but it just looks too clean compared to the plastic version...

Love your videos

WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!!!!!!!!!!!

Can you use the bonus helmet to make it look like Tony isn’t in the suit if you wanted to put this in your hall of armor?

Will we get a mark 7 2.0??

We’re the jacket loops super hard to wrap around the wrist pegs with the flame effect watched another video and the collector could not get them on didn’t see you attempt on camera ?

I believe Jon Favreau was actually in the suit in many of the scenes which also explains the "larger" perceived size. Also the diecast looks way better IMO, the other looks overdone and artificial.

Hi Justin. I wanted to ask you a favor. (I think you don't have it) Could you get the Sheldon Cooper 1/6 figure and do a nice unboxing of it? 🖖🏻⚛️ Thanks.

This is farking awesome!

My Turn! 🔥

Thanks for the review mate, may I ask if you could switch any Tony head on ?

The HS paintjob on the original mk 1 looks better IMO

the 3 cool things you mentioned about this, the plastic one have all of those too 😆 this is a fail by hot toys. Size,detail,no separate switch for the fan,too many reused parts and the price. A total failure like they didnt even care. This is a Mark 1, 2.5 than a 3.0

First big fan

Yeah, that whirr is very annoying. Love the figure apart from that though, the movie Mark 1 is one of my favourites

I personally think the mew one looks more accurate and better imo

What’s the difference between diecast and normal Hot Toys figs?

if you don't want that helmet I'll take it off yer hands, that cave escape impacted my child brain more than you can possibly imagine. Also the MK1 would stand a little taller than tony because of the sheer amount of metal he's wearing, giving him just a few extra inches. Maybe the die-cast struggled to have the paint adhere compared to the plastic which is why it's got less detail?

WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS 😆

When do you expect the InArt Batman to come in?

Awesomeness 💖👌🚀🎉

I have the Mark 1 2.0 and had the exact same thought. The diecast figure looks good but the paint and the sculpt is better on the 2.0. If you see in the movie, the armor is not shiny at all and it has a lot of welding spots and it looks like it's been put through a lot of heat. I will be keeping mine on this one. As always, great job with the video review!

Feel like all the rdj headsculpts on all the 2.0s are looking older than he actually is at that time. Might be the videos and pics…

Hi Justin!

How you even get these there like soooooooo expensive like every day you do it😅

Curious how much you may have invested in all these figures. 50k? 100k?

You could probably just glue the bases together.

It seems like you had more negatives overall than positives. I was excited but now I kind of feel soured on the figure. Hmmmmm...

WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS

Hot toys…stop messing around with these remakes by postponing my Infinity Ultron and get to work on him😂😂

Just Google hall of armor iron man 2 the mark 1 is not that short Man 500 bucks for almost the same thing with less textures and no separate switch for that loud arse fan. Compare it to Mk4 MK5 MKVI MKVII warmachine MK1 diecast, they trashed all of their plastic versions, this one not so much. I say wait for a discount. We already know rdj isn't tall, we just want a consistent scale on the armors. Just give him a boost so he won't look ridiculous, I mean they already made all the die cast armors taller than they should be. And if u google hall of armor in iron man 2 mk1 isn't that short. Hot toys are not that accurate on the scale Look at mk50 and star lord, the mk50 towers over him yet in the film they were just about the same height. I said it before they won't make frodo figure with Elijah woods actual height they should make figures based on what it was shown in the film Also compare the heads of this mk1 it's clearly smaller than any diecast Tony headsculpt. Btw try switching out the MKV suit up race track tony head with this one it looks good 👍 oh and the reason it's a little taller because the hinge/helm just sits higher now

Sorry but that's not an acog that is an eo tech holographic sight

That’s a EOTECH Holo sight Not an ACOG

Couldn't agree more with you... that unpainted helmet is useless !! Overall this release does not represent a huge improvement over the plastic 2.0 Thank you for a VERY HONEST review !!!!

Lol a display base for a display base

I'm first 15 second
