This is a great point: the head, hands, sometimes whole arms are designed to be popped off and swapped. This is why batteries are the only current solution. But boy do they die quickly. I was going to run a test once, to see how long I could leave them on (to determine if it was worth it to keep running them down/buying replacement batteries, in order to enjoy having them lit often), and within an hour or so, they began to dim.

I once decided to do a photoshoot with my entire IM collection. It was years back, and I had I to 7, WM MKI, Midas, Ironmonger and IM3 Tony.
I went out and bought a mountain of batteries for them all. By the time I had turned the last one on, the first ones were noticeably dimmer. I can’t even remember how many switches it was. But it’s even worse now. I saw a video on how tough Pepper’s armour is to light up. And I wouldn’t even bother lighting it up if I had it, lol.
It would be easier to photoshop the lights.

Their 1/6 IM figures have come so far that these 1/4 versions just aren't as impressive anymore. The first 1/4 Mark 43 blew my mind in terms of proportions back when it was announced. Now the 1/6 scale figures are pretty much there to match.

They need to seriously improve on the paint application for these 1/4 versions at the very least. These suits should look more like actual metal pieces of armor and not glossy plastic. They're just copy and pasting the paint work they're doing on the 1/6 version. It's not cutting it.
