Although now that I'm at home looking at my GS one, maybe the HT one is not metal flake and just the regular yellow colored.

The one I picked up at HT is named "Original Iron Man" and has a larger edition run. From what I see in pictures online it looks like the Gamestop one might be cast in a slight translucent plastic with glitter/flakes in it. Can anybody who has the Metalflake version confirm? I am an Iron Man junkie and will go for almost anything IM (except the lazy "Stealth" Hikari) but if these 2 are very close I may be swayed to just one or the other...

Looks like the big difference between this one and the game stop one is that the game stop one is GLITTER metallic.

Thanks for this link! I had been searching 'Iron Man Hikari' and I wasn't finding it. I just ordered it and used the $20 off promo (HTBELLS15). Thanks again!

Do you know when that coupon expires? And I've noticed some Hikari only come up when you search "limited vinyl" and not "hikari".

Found the answer to my own question. This coupon nets $20.00 off $75.00 and expires 09/05.
Sir Real wrote:To answer your flakes question, yes, the GS one that I have does sparkle a bit. But the vinyl isn't translucent at all, or clear, in any way. The flicker, or sparkle, is due solely to the metallic paint, which has small specks in it that kind of twinkle in the light, if that makes sense.

If so, that's good news for you, and it give me the justification I need to buy the regular one from Hot Topic now, since they would then be a bit more different than I had originally thought.

Thanks, much appreciated. Of course it may all my for naught if I can not get ahold of one. Still N/A on Gamestop's website and still available my local store to order for me despite being available in other regions. Odd how they are handling the roll out around here. Groot did show up in select stores around here so there is hope yet...
