Re: Classic Iron Man!!!..NOW UP FOR PRE-ORDER!!!

The extra $$$ for this comiquette must be to pay for the only Sideshow American flag!!! I mean think about it! Thing is, I may take the American flag and put it in Cap's empty hand, and then replace IM's flag with one for the Avengers.

Sigh . . .I'm really running out of display space!!!

Re: Classic Iron Man!!!..NOW UP FOR PRE-ORDER!!!

Ahhhhhh Crap, I didn't like him from when I first layed my eyes on it but he finally grew on me enough that I convinced myself that his positives outweigh his negatives and what I thought was boring yesterday looks rather cool today.

Plus, like many on here I need an IM for my collection and Bowen just isn't cutting it (14" vs 31") and i've accepted the fact that I'll never own the Red-Gold IM Comiquette (don't like the stealth), not at $1,250-$1,500.

Sorry for all my negativity on here, I was just expressing my initial and raw gut feelings and emotions of seeing something that I want so bad for the very first time.

That being a Sideshow Iron Man......

And now I got one baby!!!!

Hell Yeah!

Re: Classic Iron Man!!!..NOW UP FOR PRE-ORDER!!!

I, too, will eat a bit of crow on this one.

I admit that my judgements were based solely on P!tu's Photoshopped image, compiled from the video. As such, they were a bit hasty.

However...

The pose is still awkward. Looking at the position of his spine, it's downright unnatural from what I can tell. A bit too exaggerated. His posture could have done with a bit more understating.

My earlier opinion of the sculpt in general was unfairly based on mental comparisons with the current Extremis armor, which I find to be a superior design. In retrospect, my comments were disingenuous and hasty. This is, overall, an excellent representation of the classic Iron Man armor, which was designed to be simple to draw at the cost of sacrificing realism and functionality in appearance.

As I said earlier, the Stark sculpt is fantastic. Very stern, very serious. It's a real gameface. And, when coupled with the helmet cradled in his arm, it makes for what is likely the most "must-have" of all the Sideshow Marvel exclusives.

I still stand by many of my comments on the pose. The overarched back, the position of the left hand on the regular edition, and the posing of the legs all combine to form a classic bikini model pose. But I realize that my opinions are based on a group of photographs. In my mind, I can't imagine that the Sideshow gang would allow a "Bikini Model Iron Man" to go into production. So I can only assume that the thing looks stellar from other angles. I'm really looking forward to the 360 QTVR to show that my hopes are justified.

So ... yeah. I ordered it. It's (too?) expensive, the posing is exaggerated, and the presence of the flag is questionable. But I'm getting it anyway. Call me weak. But I'm too big of a fan of Iron Man and of Sideshow to say no.

Apologies to Sideshow and the design team for my (drunken) comments the other night.

Nash ... you may commence with the flaming.

Re: Classic Iron Man!!!..NOW UP FOR PRE-ORDER!!!

It's a cool piece, but I already have way too many Iron Man stuff coming to me. I don't think it's in my best interests to get this.

Well said piece, your comments all hit the nail on the head.

IF I owned the first IM Com, this would not be purchased. I NEED an IM for my collection in a bad way. IM is a must own, especially a Sideshow IM.

I also do agree with comments from others that he will probably look awesome in person.

Re: Classic Iron Man!!!..NOW UP FOR PRE-ORDER!!!

Yeah the more I keep visualizing him next to Thor, I mean the Flag will be as tall as Thor and he'll proly be as tall as Captain, it's gonna look awesome next to all the PF's, definitely more in scale than the original which IMO looks really tiny compared to the rest of the Avenger PF's...

You bring up some good points.

Part of my decision making process involved visualizing him amongst his future Avengers and comparing his measurments to them all.

That's one thing he's got going for him over the Original Com, he's in a standing position and his Flag is erect..errrr

Umm, and the one thing that I believe (and hope) will make him stand out in person, especially when he's amongst his fellow heroes, will be that he's SHINY vs everyone's else skin and rock tones (Thing) plus their non shiny uniforms.

And in some bizarre twist of fate, I almost have a feeling that if he's positioned in the middle somewhere, the flag might actually just bring it all together into some cohesive bad ass assembly!

Only thing is, I do like to envision these heroes as the WORLD superheros and not just New York, Gotham's and the good ole USA....They're here in my eyes to protect the entire world AND these collectibles should be enjoyed by all collectors throught the world just the same, hence why the flag irked me in the beginning, I felt like it was leaving way too many people out in the cold and I could see how someone out of the USA could feel left out and abandoned by Sideshow and the superhero that they love and cherish in their heart.

But I have a feeling that the flag will really work if placed correctly within our collections, even for the people in other parts of this world.

Whew......

You see Ski, you see what you bring out in me...craziness I tell ya, Like CooCoo:

I don't need to flame you, you already know that you are below me because I knew all along that you would be making this post. The shame in that is enough and says it all I thinks.

As to thinking his spine is awkward....Im surprised you think so when you own the original IM Comiquette, and that one's spine is clearly ridiculous. Looks like a snake body.
