Super Freak
I was just reposing the Mark 85 and when I finished, I found 2 tiny red shiny flecks on my desk. I looked over the figure, particularly the joints that I was moving, and didn't find anything amiss.
I thought people were liking the Mk 85... now there's tons of issues?
All i heard was it would be around September before Hot Toys had the replacement available according to Secret Base.
more people have the figure in their hands, the more problems are going to be found
Could not be truer...
But when 1,000 people have something and only a few people with problems are the only people posting, the problem can seem greater than it is. Just curious how prevalent these problems are.

Ask and you shall receive! Lol
Kinda hard to think of an IM pose that hasn't been done a thousand times, but decided to give this one a try. And I know it's not totally accurate, but that gauntlet just looks way too cool on him not to use.

QC issues aside, I'm having fun with this figure.
Nice. It?s a lovely pose. And I live that shade of gold paint they used.
What problems have you had with it?
Only that the guantlet wasn't glued together and came apart when I unboxed it. I posted a picture of that earlier in the thread. Oh, and one of the shoulders doesn't extend outward fully, the arm pops out of it's socket if I pull on it instead of extending.
The more I see such great poses or posing videos in Youtube, the more I think figures should always be posed on the shelves
Good job!
It is hard sometimes to decide. Some figures look great in a simple museum pose -- like cab757's pic above -- while at the same time davejames very dynamic, just-lifting-off and firing pose is outstanding.
Personally, I never use stands so I am inclined to have more museum poses than I should. The one benefit is having more room on the shelf... the down side is having more room on the shelf and tending to crowd my figures. Also, the uniformity of museum posing can get repetitive so that nothing but color stands out.
Here is the completed mod. Ended up snapping one of the 2 pegs holding the screw cover in place. The glue was too strong. Doesn't matter anyways because I glued it all back together when I was done. I think it was worth it.
