I think the new notch makes some sense, if the chin piece is to slide down when the face opens - it's like a track for it to slide on I would guess.
Do we have a guess which replicas will be around the $49 mark or somewhere on the lower part of the price range?
I'm guessing WELL over $600 for the pieces we've seen so far. I expect high end replicas and the price will reflect that.
I think I actually prefer The Avengers Mjolnir. Looks much more interesting.
Sorry, I was unclear. I meant the center of the gold chin. Up to the Mark 6, there was a square/trapezoidal notch in the gold chin. Now the notch goes down. Does this make sense?
:wackoI think you're right on the prices...
From what we've seen from them before, I can already see the Thor Helmet go for around $600 and that shield is definately going to be one of the higher-priced items, if not THE top dolllar piece.
I really hope that isn't the case about the shield. It looks like you can get spun metal ones for $400-500. I'd hope a fiberglass one would be cheaper.
i wouldnt have thought so. a lot more labour goes into a fiberglass one, plus being a licenced product, there will also be a lot more overheads to pay for not to mention the fact on the liniage these pieces will have.

or the iron man helmet if it opens and has electronics in it.
Well, you can get a spun metal one with the front looking similar, and with no star grooved out, but the back of the shield is completely different. You will find, that to make a 400-500$ spun one look as accurate as one of these fiberglass ones would run you up over $1000 or more. All of the hardware, strapping, and several components that make up the backs of the shield drive the costs way up, ... I know.. I'm trying to get more accurate with mine now. Not to mention, the costs of the license is spread over each piece. I could easily see the shield replica being well over $1000, if not more. And it will be worth it. I'm wondering if that Thor helmet is the highest priced item though, it definitely could be as well,.. or the iron man helmet if it opens and has electronics in it.
I very much doubt that would be the case since none of the movie lids ever had servos etc, it was all CG. I could see lite eyes for sure, I would guess the Ironman lid will be in the $700-800 range.
