My Mark III arrived today and while my opinion of it is generally high, there are some nitpicks I want to mention.
*The light up function for the eyes/chest didn't work right out of the box. I hope it's just because of weak batteries and not busted LEDS. I don't have any extra button AG9 batteries on hand so I'll try again after buying a pack of them tonight. The repulsor leds work great.
*The finish on the armor isn't as shiny and glossy as many photos led me to believe. I wouldn't go so far as to call it dull, but it wasn't what I was expecting. Under normal indoor lighting it is underwhelming. Under outdoor lighting it's quite nice.
*A small rub mark on his face that I can't get rid of. ARRGH!
There's some plastic stuck into the battery compartment that you have to remove first (this is so that it doesn't waste electricity in shipment)
It really surprises me that quite a lot of members here haven't even got their mark 3 yet!
Mine's been taking the back seat of my display shelf for quite some time now.
I ought to be more grateful
sorry if this has been posted already, but is anyone else's arm missiles facing the wrong way?
Yeah..mine are...
Did Sideshow surprise anyone else by doubling what they originally quoted for shipping?

I love this figure, it's well engineered, but there are some quality control issues that I ran into. Nothing that bad though. I'm now really excited for my Mark II, which should arrive next week.
As if I wasn't frustrated enough with them already, in the end it would have only cost me $10 more to get the thing from Toys2 and have it in hand 1-2 months agoyup it was seven something but it came out to 14 something, this is my first time ordering from ss but I heard about this before.
Okay managed to get a new pack of batteries to replace the ones pre-installed and...
The lights work! Thank goodness it wasn't a malfunctioned LED. I would have hated to have to send the figure back. Phew!
Glad to hear it. What kind of batteries are they? I might pick up a spare set just to have on hand before Friday just in case.Okay managed to get a new pack of batteries to replace the ones pre-installed and...
