It looks like he'd also be good choreographing dance moves, although Iron Spider is leaning forward a tad too much.
They're doing the Iron suit shuffle...Peter is still learning the moves though.
The truth is I'm still butt hurt I won't be able to claim your Mark L anymore.
But in all seriousness, this armor (to me) was a rush job, although I'm not the only one who is under that impression. When you consider that the Mark L was the fastest release of an IM armor ever, that kinda says something. On top of that it doesn't help that there were blatant visual issues with the figure such as the thigh-gap, which plenty of folks on here complained about, as well as the blatant seam cut in the ab section.
Sure, I understand that those "issues" only exist to enable maximum articulation out of this figure, but when you consider that previous armors (and even future ones, such as the newly released Mark VII) were able to integrate those breaks in the armor seamlessly it really does make you question why HT didn't bother for the Mark L...and the only logical conclusion is that they rushed it.
Also, when you take into account people's complaints that the Mark L is the lightest armor yet, you really do have to call into question the "quality" and time/dedication spent on this piece...especially when it also happens to be one of the most expensive armors and was the first to breach the $400 level (not counting the HB). For that price point you would expect something very premium, but in the end what was released was something super bare bones.
And this is coming from me, someone who planned on buying every IM figure when I dipped my toes into the HT hobby back in late 2015, with my first IM being Mk 45 from AoU. Since then I've picked up the 46, 47, 5, 6, and have the 7 and 85 and BD 85 on pre-order...I skipped the 4 since I thought it was too similar to the 6 and couldn't justify the mere arc reactor change. So as an HT IM enthusiast it was tough for me to not pull the trigger on the Mark L.
I mean, look at the recently released Mark 7...it's f'in' amazing! The quality, the amount of accessories, the fact that it can transform! (something I won't be using, but pretty epic). Had the Mark 50 received that same type of treatment I have no doubt in my mind it would have been a dope piece that would be part of my collection, but sadly here we are with that rush job 50...so sad!
Anyways, rant over.
I dont know why he would keep visiting a thread about a figure he doesnt like.
Dude it is far from the fastest release, definitely not the lightest (not that i care about weight on these) and the gaps are not as bad as people keep saying. What about the stupid flaps sticking out on previous suits which this doesn't have. It's just your opinion and that's cool. We are all entitled to dislike whatever. But hate it all you want but nothing you are saying is a fact.
In my opinion and others the 50 is straight up gorgeous.
Yes i am horrible person because i like it

These photos This is a great figure and armor indeed, I quite like its capabilities in the film, albeit it's not my most favorite armor design, but it sure is striking.Maybe it's the suit, but Peter breaking it down in his other suit

That thigh-gap was next level though...they made the upper thigh part too thick (or maybe the ab/torso section was made too slim) that it didn't mesh well with the tiny ball joint piece they ended up using...also the thigh piece itself edges beyond the torso borders, making it look even more out of proportion.
I'm convinced HT had certain parts produced before others and then when they realized certain pieces were out of proportion, instead of fixing the issue, they said F it and continued onward with production/assembly because of the rushed IW deadline.
I mean look at it next to the masterfully-crafted Mark VII, where it had nothing but time on their side for the production...the Mark L looks terrible! Can't believe the same company produced both figs! No consistency with the quality/final product!
