Cara Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 That's a shame. I was looking at this too trying to think what I would wait upon buying until it was released. Oh well, darn!
______ Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Too bad, that looks really nice. I bet the guy/gal who made it is having a great laugh reading our reactions.
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Thanks for adding the note under the title... If not, I would be really pissed off right now. But still... The pics looks sweeeet. We do really need chrome Iron Men. Oh well, we have already a few chrome guys in our wishlists, don't we?
Sam892 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 (edited) I wish this was real, ever since I got TC-14 two weeks back I kept think how awesome a chrome Mark II would be. Think I posted elsewhere that it would be cool. Looks like I need to sign up to Cuusso to vote for this and hopefully, someone photoshops a Loki figure with a chrome gold head piece and staff for me to vote for!!! Edited May 17, 2012 by Sam892
The_Chosen_1 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Dang it!! I got super excited when I saw this...already starting planning out in my head how I'd be able to afford another order for an exclusive minfig. Too bad it's fake.
The Blue Brick Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Dang. I was already planning my order as soon as I saw its shiny glory. Too bad its fake. I would pay an arm and a leg just for one of them.
LEGOman273 Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 It could be real. I will explain: The pic looks official, though it could be a real pic that has been doctored. However, I have found no official pic that could have been edited. All pics that I have seen show trans-blue pieces on the feet. Additionally, in this pic, Iron Man looks like he is walking - not flying as he is in other pics. One question: I see a QR code in the corner, could someone print and scan this to see what it is? I'll try if I have time.
Big Cam Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 One question: I see a QR code in the corner, could someone print and scan this to see what it is? I'll try if I have time. I believe it is part of the logo of the artist who doctored it. The image itself is even titled FAKE.
Bilbo Baggins Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Definetaly fake, too bad because I wanted one of those.
TheLegoDr Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I immediately thought, no way I can afford another exclusive figure, then I thought maybe if I wait to get LOTR or Monster Fighters I could get this figure, then I read that it was fake, like many others. I think it would be neat to have, but I don't know if I'm dying to get one either. TC-14 was supposed to be chrome, so that figure makes sense. The Hulk was a nice nod to a classic version of Hulk for those not into the hulked-out Hulk. A chrome Iron Man would be neat, but I don't think I'm dying to get it. If something similar did happen, I would definitely order sets to pick one up, but I'm pretty thankful it isn't real. I would probably just use him as a War Machine sub until they come out with one of them. I know they don't look alike, but hey it's something.
purpleparadox Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Well. I'm kinda dissapointed that it's a fake, but not that much. The only reason I wanted it was to give to my brother as a B-day present. Oh well.
lightningtiger Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I'm going to sit on the fence on this one, maybe fake....though if you look at the artwork for this....Hulk promo. The position of the wording is different, it's not a direct copy....to fake this you would have to be an awesome graphic artist to pull it off. Like I just wrote I'll sit on the fence and wait to see what happens.....if real, yeah I want one too !
Big Cam Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I wonder if the company that chromed all the pieces for that chrome naboo ship could chrome an iron man fig? I'd guess they can't get the printing after chroming, but it'd still be cool.

The helmet he would do since he does helmets. -Omi
Im a brickmaster. Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 Sweet! A exclusive Mark II Iron Man minifig! Thank goodness I didnt spend $50 bucks for the Hulk fig.

It could be like his desert escape suit in the first movie.Desert escape suit Or more realistly some of the armor Here.
Piranha Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 This would have been an awesome promo, if it was real. I am still hopeful we will see the Mark II in a future set perhaps.
Oky Posted May 17, 2012 Posted May 17, 2012 I'm kinda glad this is fake since I'm pretty burnt out after the TC-14 and Hulk promos. But yeah, this sure would make a great promo! So, now that we know it's fake, it would probably be good if a mod would close this thread so that nobody else gets their hopes up.
CorneliusMurdock Posted May 18, 2012 Posted May 18, 2012 I did decide to lock this. If someone comes up with any information saying that it's not a fake, PM me and I'll reopen the thread.
