Pepper Potts 1/6 Scale Figure From Hot Toys Really Doesn't Look Like Gwyneth Paltrow in IRON MAN 3

The high end toy manufacturer Hot Toys has top notch products and their figure likenesses to actors is phenomenal. But not this time.

Hot Toys has revealed a new Pepper Potts and the Iron Man Mark IX suit from IRON MAN 3. Upon further review, this is the first time I can recall a Hot Toys figure not looking exactly (sometimes scarily exact) like the actor. Maybe this is still a prototype figure and the look might still change to better match Paltrow but these promotional images really do not show a likeness to her at all. (Or maybe I'm just the crazy one here, not sure.)

Here's the official word from Hot Toys' press release:

Throughout the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Pepper Potts has been a very important person in Tony Stark’s heart. In Iron Man 3, Aldrich Killian has kidnapped Pepper Potts and subjected her to Extremis in order to force Tony Stark to help eliminate the flaws in Extremis to save Pepper. Fans have been longing for a collectible figure of her and today Hot Toys is delighted to officially present a 1/6th scale Collectible Figures Set featuring Pepper Potts and Iron Man Mark IX from Iron Man 3!

The Pepper Potts collectible figure is specially crafted based on the image of Gwyneth Paltrow as Pepper Potts in the film featuring a newly developed head sculpt with long straight light reddish-blonde real fabric hair, finely tailored costume, an interchangeable Iron Man Mark IX right arm with LED light-up function, and figure stand!

The Mark IX collectible figure features metallic red and gold-colored armor with weathering effects, interchangeable armor parts, LED light-up functions, and a dynamic figure stand ideal for mid-air poses. The collectible figures set will exclusively include a Pepper Potts in Mark XLII helmet head sculpt interchangeable on the Hot Toys’ 1/6th scale Mark XLII collectible figure!
