The write up for this summer exclusive is as follows:


=======================================

Take Iron Man collectible experience to a whole new level! Hot Toys team is recreating the realistic look of the visually futuristic armor while offering a fascinating glimpse into the Marvel’s iconic suit! Designed by Tony Stark, Iron Man Mark IV suit has left a remarkable impression among the hearts of fans for its grand entrance in Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Being the very first Hot Toys’ figure that adopts an overall translucent matte appearance, the 1/6th scale Iron man Mark IV (Holographic Version) collectible figure in shades of red and gold livery demonstrates Hot Toys team’s incredible workmanship that combines creativity and the refined gear design. Crafted using the latest technology, the one-of-a-kind Iron Man figure is a 2020 Toy Fair Exclusive item, available only in selected markets!

The highly-detailed figure is perfectly crafted based on the image of Iron Man Mark IV armor in the movie, features a meticulously sculpted armored body with movie-accurate proportion; strengthen articulation performance by a number of diecast parts; newly designed armor parts composed of translucent matte material in distinctive red and gold colors, revealing the mechanical design and details of the complex armor; LED light-up functions on Arc Reactor with circular-shaped indent on chest, eyes, hands, and forearms; two sets of interchangeable forearm armor, a specially designed figure stand in translucent black color.

Be sure to add this charming figure to your ultimate Iron Man collection!








========================================

Interestingly this figure (well, a version of the same concept) was made by HT for promotional purposes at an Iron Man event that took place in Hysan Place in HK way back in April 2013. The biggest differences are going to be the different molds (production version uses the Die Cast MK IV moulds by the looks of it) and the use of fewer transparent parts (transparent plastic can be fragile and crack easily over time so the production version seems to be a hybrid of transparent and non transparent for practicality's sake). I think for me personally I would have prefered a static non articulated museum posed clear "hologram" Iron Man at a low price point for dioramas. Maybe Crazy Toys will knock one out soon!



It took 7 years to see production so perhaps other old prototypes may see the light of day sometime in the not too distant future

is Holographic Version a marketing term for cheap clear plastic?

I'm not sure charming comes to mind -- in fact, I've been more impressed with pretty much any of their earlier versions. Then again, I'm oversaturated with this character's variants, and perhaps this would be far more exciting to someone else.

Me personally, I would much prefer the Iron Patriot from endgame in War Machine colors as per the trailers/deleted scenes. Hologram versions of figures might be useful in dioramas (Starks lab) but no real use in any other scenario, whereas the Endgame Iron Patriot in black/silver would actually look awesome in many different displays including generic scifi collections, plus it could serve as War Machine MK5 since in Endgame they jumped from MK4 to MK6 before the Iron Patriot 2 suit magically appeared. It could be explained that the Iron Patriot was actually War Machine MK5 being repaired/repainted to the Patriot and so was there ready to use when Rhodeys MK6 was damaged.

Late to the party. Here's the full details and all the pics.
