Does Bransen have the revised shoulders or the old ones?

The revised version with a single bush in the joint articulation, rather than the original two bush design.

Thanks. Either this is a one-off or.... (cue the music).

I'm simply trying to reach a balanced conclusion, on the evidence available.. Hot Toys have released some absolutely stunning Iron Man figures recently and I'm pretty sure I'm still going to get the MK42.. but I am going to handle it carefully... very carefully.

I would also prefer to see Hot Toys drop this version of the shoulder articulation for future figure releases, and revert to the WM2/IP version.. because there does appear to be a fragility inherent in this particular design.. just saying

Never heard of this shoulder issue before

I wonder if HT will update the joint with the AoU suit since it's basically a repaint of the MK42.

You're talking about the company that sells 75 dollar styrofoam boxes for Iron Man figures. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

I got my Mark XLII on Friday and I showed my wife it and she said ooo "is that the explodey one?" and I shook my head and said yes.

They do. Just realized the batteries are running down on the Iron Patriot's eyes and chest LEDs. He was as bright as the Mark XLII when I first got him. Forgot to put the "ammo" piece on his right arm, too, after turning the repulsor light on for these pics.

I love the Mark XLII. It's too bad these shoulder issues keep coming up. If this keeps up, all of us just might be getting extra arms. They should send everyone who purchased a Mark XLII an extra set just in case, IMO.

I echo the sentiment expressed on the Iron Patriot's shoulders...they probably could have kept the same engineering for this figure- it works.

Hey guys does anyone know if you can take the neck post off the mk 42 like you can with the vii? Wondering if it's worth it to buy a new neckpost so i can put my tony stark mechanic headsculpt on the 42 with a neck and have him hold the helmet

Robert Downey might actually be 5,7 or shorter. Check out these heels which is from IM2

He looks like 5'4" to me. He also too old. Can't wait for them to reboot with a younger 6' + actor.

I just had a look at mine and it does not look like the neck piece on the m42 can be removed. I'm not brave enough to try.

Blasphemy!

You are, quite possibly, the only person in the world who wants RDJ replaced as Tony Stark/Iron Man.

That is correct. It even says in the instruction booklet that it cannot be removed.
