I don’t think it is a pube (don’t know, don’t want to know) but this may indicate that this colored silicone material may be kind of sticky and more prone to picking up “particles”.
Probably not a deal breaker for most since it seems like people on this forum are really excited about this release, but probably something to be aware of and prepare in some way. Probably won’t be an issue for folks who have their figures behind glass.
Btw I think this looks great but I am not picking this up BW use of my one figure per character rule and I don’t really have any other “classic” figures and don’t want to start some sub-collection. That said this is the Iron Man I grew up with so it is very tempting.

I just saw Jedha Patrol's video and it also showed the face mask when looking up close also had similar flakes to the legs but to a lesser extent. It might just be the paint application for the metallic look on the prototype. Or it could be dust mixed in when the paint was sealed.

Between this figure, HT 66 Batman & Robin, HT Reeve Supes, HT classic Spider-Man, and upcoming Exo-6 TOS Trek, I feel like the Megos I had as a kid have matured along with me and it feels just a magical and imaginative as it did back then.

One other potential "fix" might be some gold makeup powder dusted on. That might help with tackiness of the rubber while also blending in, help prevent dust and hair sticking.
When I first saw this, it looked okay, then I saw it in some photos at Secret Base and it looks so good. The price is what it is, but a BRAND new body, seamless, and has some special features.
I am coming around to the price being justified..get it for like 215 shipped USD so happy.

I have old sideshow figures where the sculpt is feeling sticky, and that is what I do.

I think this looks pretty good. I prefer this to a lot of the MCU versions.

Finally HT is doing comic figure correctly under the Hono banner. Can't wait for the others like Cap, Hulk, Spider-Man, Daredevil, Thor, Cyclops, I'd definitely take Ghost Rider, and Doctor Strange if done. Comic versions will be amazing. I hope they do DC comics also later so we get classic comic characters.

We'll be partially broke since these will stay at $150-250 range I'm hoping at least. Now certain characters like Hulk, Ghost Rider will probably cost $300 range because the size of classic Hulk and GR Hellcycle.

This Iron Man looks like he walked out of the comics. Very well done and looks so awesome. I am not partial to this armor though. If they do Silver Centurion I will have to pick him up. Looking forward to more comic looking figures from this line.

Always hated the Silver Centurion armor myself , only other paint scheme I liked on IM is the original grey or stealth .

Stealth suit Iron man and silver centurion are a must and so is war machine.
This is the version I grew up with.I wonder what the odds of a modular Iron Man might be...
I never thought it had a chance, but now I'm thinking it's far more feasible.
But, better than previous seamless stuff given that this is medical grade silicone rather than the previous rubber they used to use.
