That is one beautiful figure...

Thanks a lot!

Thank you very much!

Nice pics Soundwave can't wait to get mine in

Thank you! It's a great figure with lots of accessories.

Forgot to mention, one thing I do really like about this figure (and I hope it's used again in the future) is the Figuarts-style leg articulation.

Do you mean that they can be pulled down? If so, they've used that on several figures. If not, what do you mean?

Yeah. Really? I wasn't aware. To be fair my most recent 1/6 scale Iron Man before this was the 42. What other figures have this feature?

 

[Motuxmen]

Most of them have it

Any outside of the HPP?

 

[Motuxmen]

Yes. Like all of them in the last few years

 

[Starscream Soundwave]

Which ones? The new III? The 43?

43 definitely does. I think they've had it as far back as Iron Patriot?

Didn't realise the newer War Machines had it. The 43 makes sense now as I believe the whole leg joint section was updated from the 42's version. If it's a regular thing with the armours now that's great news, because it really helps out with the poses.

Out of the iron man figures I have.. The shotgun, centurion, starboost, heartbreaker, the 42, and the mark 2 war machine all have the pull down legs/hips.. The only one that I have that doesn't is the mark 7.

 

[Starscream Soundwave]

Ah. I think you guys misunderstood. I don't mean any old style pull down. I meant the exact mechanism that is on the Shotgun figure. The Figuarts-style one, where the legs are themselves connected to two bars that are joined in the middle of the inside of the crotch section and move upwards and downwards. Not the button pressing thing that a lot of the armours have.

Yeah, those armors that I listed all have the figuarts style pull down hips. The kind where the bar of the ball joint moves.

I have the 42, and that doesn't have it?

Whoops.. I was looking at the wrong directions. Yes, you are right. But the others definitely have it.

Just skimmed through a Starboost review, and it has it. Will trust you on the others. It's a really neat feature, glad it's seemingly being used on every release now. It's something that's just passed me by, having not bought a sixth scale IM since the 42.

 

[TimothyR]

Shotgun

Starboost

Centurion

Heartbreaker

Looks like I was wrong about war machine as well.. I could've sworn I've pulled his legs down before.. Oh well.

 

[Starscream Soundwave]

Thanks Timothy. Maybe it's just the plastic guys from the HPP that get this feature. The 1/4 43 doesn't use it either. It might be too fragile an arrangement to be used on the heavier figures.

I was hoping the 45 might have it, but it seems unlikely.

Few more Shotgun shots...
