Just when we thought that Hot Toys’ life-sized Hulk Buster armor couldn’t get any more impressive, the gigantic statue stepped its game up even more.

As the Hulkbuster, and the rest of the life-sized Avengers figures (which you can read more about here), got cozy at Hot Toys’ Exhibition in Hong Kong’s Hysan Place and Lee Theaters, Hot Toys revealed that the gamma-crushing armor actually opens up to reveal the Iron Man Mark XLIII inside. As a video of the armor reveals, the exo-suit’s head capsule and main chest really can open up. 

Alas, this reveal also comes with a hint of tragedy. Now that we know the Hulkbuster is occupied, it all but guarantees that we’ll never get to hop in the war suit for some Banner bashing. Still, a life-sized Hot Toys statue isn’t the worst of consolation prizes.

We are sure many fans in Hong Kong have come to visit the “Marvel’s Avengers: Age of Ultron Team Up at Hysan Place and Lee Theatres Powered by Hot Toys Exhibition”, but did you know that in addition to smoke effects, the attention-grabbing #Hulkbuster life-size statue can actually open up and reveal the Iron Man Mark XLIII inside?Check it out in the video, or better yet, come to our exhibition in Hong Kong before May 10 to see it in person!
