Re: Hot Toys - IRON MAN - MARK III PHOTO Thread
Okay, more pics and a lil review. Right outta the box, this figure feels very light and fragile, it's made mostly of plastic with some rubber in the hands, elbow joints, torso, and waist.
The Downey headsculpt is nice, but "why so serious?"
It is pretty articulated, the only thing that's not and disappointing to me is the torso and waist. The armor around the torso and waist is made of a softer plastic/rubber material, he can barely turn at the waist and he cannot bend in the torso area.
The real pose I would like to put him in is something similar to the landing pose where IM first appears in his MkIII armor in Gulmaria (sp?), but doesn't seem possible with a stiff torso.
The led lights are cool, and you can switch hands easily without worrying about the pegs breaking unlike TDK line. It requires 9 batteries, 3 in each arm and 3 in the back for the lights.
The flaps are a cool feature, but the ones on his back are kinda loose, like it's hanging off his back, but when they're opened up, they stay in position pretty good. Other than what's already been said by everyone else who has this figure, this is still a pretty awesome figure, but I dunno about figure of the year though, I still like my TDK Bats better
I don't think it's worth the Ebay prices for this figure though, so if you can wait a lil longer and get it cheaper from other sites it'll be worth it, but um, I couldn't wait.
