Hot Toys Power Pose Mark XXXV RED SNAPPER - NEW PHOTOS
Over 100 New Images!...
Following the release of the Iron Man MKXLII earlier this year (read our review HERE) comes the second entry in Hot Toys' new Power Pose series, the Mark XXXV Red Snapper. The odd marriage of statue and figure, the Power Pose series allows Hot Toys to release increasingly complex 1:6th scale figures (so far consisting of Iron Man armors) with less articulation than a full-blown action figure release at a more affordable price point. Of course a "more affordable price point" is all subjective as the new Power Pose Red Snapper retails for $254.99 ($100 more than the Power Pose MKXLII cost). While not cheap, I'd imagine the Snapper would be in the $300+ price range if Hot Toys was to include all the bells and whistles.
What's interesting with the Power Pose Red Snapper, however, is that unlike the Power Pose Iron Man MKXLII, the Snapper actually stars a good amount of articulation. The whole concept of "Power Pose" as a more affordable static statue/ figure is getting more and more blurred. The Red Snapper is closer to an actual 1:6 Hot Toys action figure release than the Mark XLII ever was, featuring articulated head, arms, claws, legs, knees and feet. It even comes with a built-in light-up system in the head, chest and clawed arms! Add on a display stand for "hovering mode" and it's pretty easy easier to confuse the Power Pose Red Snapper as an actual Hot Toys 1:6 action figure.
Regardless of its title - Movie Masterpiece or Power Pose release - what fans DO GET is an all-new Tony Stark armor, and that in itself is reason to celebrate. We'll have a full review on the Red Snapper in the days ahead, but until then enjoy over 100 new photos by following the link below!
