I think it will be great if somenone can patch this to the Bust ...or something more accurate than this reactor , maybe Mike could help me ...:monkey3

If you want a 1:1 Arc you can go either Rick or Jmtwo but if you want one to patch to the bust you'd need the Arc Reactor 2.0 which he switched out upon his return from the Middle East and you'd need a netted covering with a bit of "cheese grading" mesh to make it look like the outer covering of the Mark 03. That one hasn't been made yet but I'd watch the The RPF because there are grumblings of one being done.
 
It looks a little like this:

Its not an accurate pic but it definitely looks different than the 1.0
 
I've had my bust since last Monday and I've been going back and forth as to whether or not I should try for an exchange (went through a dealer to save some money, so I'm not sure how the whole process will work). As some have already reported, there is an issue with the paint in the area between the neck and shoulders. It's not terrible if you're looking at the bust from about 10 feet away, but as you get closer it becomes really obvious (at least on mine) that they missed that spot. Granted, the flash exacerbates the problem somewhat in the pictures below, but it is still very noticeable under normal lighting conditions. My first instinct is to exchange it (especially after some of the recent "mint" and "mine's perfect!" posts), but seeing some earlier pictures of sloppy black lines and scratches makes me hesitant. The rest of the bust is pretty good and I don't want to end up with something worse, but I don't know if I can actually accept this one in the long run. It's like my eye is automatically drawn to the flaw instead of taking in the otherwise awesome design.

I want to love this bust, but the paint is really bringing it down. It does look good with my other Marvel 1:1 busts though...

How do those painters in China and QC miss that missing paint??? I don't get it.

Thanks a lot !!!!! :banana
 
While I love the bust, I'm opting to send mine back for an exchange. The area in between the shoulders doesn't bother me at all, but there are a few scratches on the mask and a chip to boot. These flaws hit me right away every time I look at this thing.

There are some other minor flaws,but none alone that are worth sending this thing back.

So I'm exchanging mine, but I can have some fun while I wait for a new one :D

Cap Vs. Iron Man



other side:


Wasn't that concerned with height, but I had to prop Cap's base up a little to get it more even with Iron Man's

Back of my Iron Man.

This is why I wanted a comparison shot of the back, so I could see if there are any similar looking ones.

 
Very beautiful,man this piece must be one of the best 1:1 busts ive ever seen.
 
Hey. I'm not sure if anybody has said this already but I just received my Iron Man Bust today and I am a bit disappointed because the paint appears dull. It seems like it's lacking some shine. Does anybody else have the same problem? I don't know if it is a defect or if that's how it's supposed to be. I thought it would feel heavier also but it seems light in weight. Guess that isn't really a complaint though. Just let me know if anybody else is unsatisfied with the lack of shine or dullness of the paint job or if that's just how it was made. Thanks a lot.
