Also, where's War Machine's Uncle Gazpacho? It seems there's enough room in there and he just doesn't look the same without it.

He could do with some hand's first

lol i noticed that as well

 

[jye4ever]

Can't go wrong with $8.99 that's for certain.

 

[morbidaj]

It is a pretty toight fit in there with war machine..

sorry to keep bugging you man, but any chance you can put war machine in the smaller one and take a picture? I'd like to see how the bulkier guys fit in them. thanks!!

 

[jayveeeusebio]

Wish it had a base but nonetheless a great glass you got there for a great price.

 

[MCkilla]

Yeah I got 3 larger ones at Michales for about $25 the normal stands will fit in there fine but the dx02 batman and the "light up" mkiv base won't fit

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

i may have to just go with the larger ones then...thanks man!

 

[Modus]

Thanks for the Michaels heads up. They didn't have the acrylic case at my Michaels but I picked up two helmet cases for 58 dollars. Not the best picture.

I love the base with the Mark IV.

 

[Lejuan]

Mark IV arrived and happy to say everything is perfect - no nape paint residue, flaps all good, paint all good.

Before I go rushing in and ripping its head off, how is the IM head removed? Is it removed in one piece or do I remove head and neck in separate stages?

I feel like I've applied some force already (holding the head at the sides) and I'm wondering whether I just keep applying more force until it unpops or whether there's some trick to it, ie where to hold it when pulling on it.

The instructions show two fingers delicately removing one head and replacing it with the other, but there ain't nothing delicate about what I've tried so far.

Grap him around the chest and pull the head, the force should also pull his neck off, you could just pull him by the neck but the head is on nice and tight and it should take the neck with it.

Apply more force if it won't come off, don't worry the figure can take it, just hold him around the chest and everything should work out

i heard putting the feet in a table vice and then pulling on the head with pliers works quite well too...plus you'll end up with a battle damaged version for free!

Thanks guys, it's good to have this reassurance. I will try Nick's method first as I have a vice and pliers handy.

Too late dude, thanks to your handy tip I ended up breaking my vice AND my pliers

I was worried about that...they just dont make things like they used to...

I am still having a heck of time getting the Stark head on, it does not want to pop in. Thoughts?

I had some trouble with this as well, but with enough force it just popped on after many, many tries.

Lubrication and grease...

Paint peeling from the lighted neck connector is a common occurance... 3 out of 4 Mk.4 has paint residue stucked to the rubber collar....such as:
