The problem with the argument is that the mk43 is in that scene and has the exact same face mask appearance. And the mask fines always have that super mirror finish. And the gold on the arm has it in one second and not the next, the same with the gold around the knee joint. It looks more shiny in certain angles. That doesn't mean it should look that way. And again, since the mk43 does not have the same gold as the 45, and the gold on the 44 face plate looks the same as the 43....it should then look like the 43 in figure form and not the 45.
The mk7 had scenes where it at times looked super shiny, as did most the other suits. It's partly due to how they render high shine areas with cg.
When you have something that appears the same, like the mk43 faceplate, and have lots of other conditions of that item to use for comparison them you can see that it appears super gloss/mirror/shiny due to the lighting and environmental and what not being rendered with the suit and not that the hulkbuster is supposed to have the same anodized look as the mk45.
As for promotional materials and why use it...because it's another piece of evidence that supports the argument as well as it being what the figure was designed with. Between that, the mk43 in the same shot and looking the same as the 44, the 5 other figures by multiple companies, the art of book, ect..you establish a pattern that the mk44 is the same finish and color as the mk43 suit and not the mk45.
As for we know what the mk44 looks like and it being moot. Actually we don't. We know what the prototype looks like. The mk45 Proto didn't have the gold and red that the production figure did.
