1/6 1/6 DIECAST Iron Man 2 WAR MACHINE

but they are all different shapes/sizes.

No worries, that was my initial thought too. Looked at my plastic War Machine Mark 1 first, but the face plate seems to be ~10% smaller than the diecast version.

The only solution is to keep an eye out on ebay for parts since it is long sold out but at this point any parts are going to come from china and be ridiculously overpriced

I’m certain I’ve seen the Don Cheadle head for this pop up on eBay a few times over the past couple months but can’t recall if it also came with the faceplate.

I have my War Machine I hardwired to USB power, just waiting for Diecast Mark VI so I can daisy chain the pair in one display.

Nice! How did you manage to hardwire the power source to USB? I've been contemplating ordering Soap Reactors from Hong Kong, but can't seem to justify the cost and the messy wiring it leaves behind.........

I'd be interested in how you hardwired it as well.

I just soldered micro-connector wires directly to the battery terminals in the head and back, and daisy-chained them to a single USB plug. The wires run out the bottom of the head, inside the right back booster cavity fed into an existing hole leading into the back battery compartment, and then out the bottom of the battery cover. I didn’t bother with the hand repulsors. Not elegant, but better than accessing and fiddling with those darn switches every time.

While I had everything broken apart, I also replaced the single eye LED with a pair of pink LEDs and removed the red paint from the inner visor. So now the eyes look white when the LEDs are off.

I think I posted these images before, but will repost since my photobucket links are all broken:

Here's the before and after for the lit eyes.

Nice! Looks like I'm going to have to learn how to use a soldering iron.

 

[jchow1030]

very nice write up! Unfortunately I have 0 experience in soldering hahaha...

Trying to get a feel for the aftermarket price on this thing. I have one I want to sell but I'm not sure what's a fair price.

Is $450 a good price for this piece?

I'll buy it for retail, even if that's a little steep for this figure
