Found this eBay scalper description amusing since it references this forum:

"Also included in the figure (not pictured) are bragging rights for years when this bad boy hits your Detolf, you'll want to clear out those DX's and those inferior head sculpts that tried to capture Robert Downey Jr in all of his glory because this figure is ready to sucker punch those figures in the pink rubber panties and tell them to pound sand.

You'll have a free pass to head over to SideshowCollectors, post your pictures and let them know what's up. Better hike up your pant legs because all that drool is going to come flooding in when you got this on display and people are selling kidneys on the black market to get one for themselves. Don't believe me? Look what happened to that Mark VI figure, they've only increased in value, as well as awesomeness.

If this isn't your brand of vodka, you can always pray to Thor himself that your waitlist gets converted. You think that regular Mark VII with interchangeable BD parts will suffice? Have you seen the head sculpt on that? It'd be more appropriate if the movie was called El Hombre De Hierro."

Gold!

Awesome salesmanship right there.

Can't even get mad at this! .......I'm impressed!

I never would have thought this was possible, but you pulled it off man

 

[Eamon]

Thanks! I forgot to add the Chi'Tari weapons if I can.

I didn't think there would be anymore room on that shelf for more stuff, but something tells me you can squeeze them in there and make it look good

I think this guy will be one of my favs for a long time. He looks so great it almost makes the others figures look cheap, almost... Would be cool to see them do a much heavier bd version of another armor, perhaps the mk 42 down the line.

got my final payment notice today. should have him in 2 weeks.........
but not sure if i should take him out the box at all

Really? Why would you spend all that money on something just to look at the box? What happens when the batteries leak while in the box?


Are you a flipper?

Shhh asking if someone is a flipper is like asking if they were in the communist party during the 50s in America.

I have been debating this since I got it - should I keep it, should I sell it..?? I'm keeping for now but I find this really hard to pose without looking 'toy like'. My regular Mk7 is the better figure for me, no question.

Up close, I do think this looks very cheap and toy like with the dull finish and plastic looking burn marks with stripes of black airbrush paint however now and then I get a pose I like... I sit back and an hour later I'm not so sure. It's the first figure I just cannot get right.

As much as the Tony Stark head sculpt is awesome (and after messing with it for an hour then looking at my workshop stark IM3 head, which is also amazing and I thought near perfect, this one is way better) I just cannot get that to sit right either and it's the stare of the eyes. They are very converged (?) as in looking right into the distance and as such when you look at it, he appears to be glaring through you. I so much want to use this sculpt but I cannot find a pose that suits. I like to look at my figures and it appears they are almost looking at me or somewhere in the room... Tony looks like he's smoking something.. It's great but not all at the same time. I really don't like that blank glare look and this has it (not got Black Widow but loads of photos make her look like that..?)

I wated so long for this figure, so excited convinced this was the big one and now I have it, it's good... Its Ok... But not amazing and not as good as the regular mk7 and I'm so gutted because I feel like I'm pushing myself to like it more than I do.. There are so many people liking it too I was utterly convinced I would love it but meh.. And selling now for £400+ in the uk, it's a frikkin expensive OK figure...

Well I'd still choose that one persons custom mark vii BD over this simply because it looks more metallic and matches the proto more. Sometimes when looking at this from far, it kinda looks like the Neca version but when I go up close its definitely HT, but I feel that they rushed this figure. Great figure nonetheless, just wouldn't give my 10/10 initial rating pre-hand and now I think I give it 6/10 in-hand rating
