IM Mark I Maquette new photos

[mrcontinental]

Amazing detail, very nice piece. A must have for Iron Man enthusiast.

That would be my only nit pick too.

And a justified nitpick it would be. I just finished watching the "Making of" documentary that came with the Blu-ray and I think it's safe to say that the gaps in the Sideshow maquette are indeed excessive. Even the maquette used for the film didn't expose as much of the leg as the Sideshow piece does. When the stuntmen were shown wearing the suit there really were no visible gaps at all, and it really looks as though the person is wearing an impenetrable suit of armor. The details, paintwork and everything else about the Sideshow piece are still nice, but movie accurate it is not. The exposed legs would bug me too much if I had to display it. No regrets canceling.

Here's a few photos of mine.

My opinion on this piece is this: It's not even close to movie accurate. That said, there isn't a better Mark I statue available to me, and there may not ever be one, so I went ahead and jumped back on the waitlist after it started shipping. ( I canceled this statue months ago).

I've never been a fan of the pose. But what it lacks for me visually, it partially makes up for in all the little details; wires, gears, belts, tanks etc. The portrait, while not screaming RDJ to me, is a very very nice face sculpt, one of the best from Sideshow.

So, yeah, I like it for what it is, but as soon as a better product lands, this one will be out the door. :rays for true SWS/Legacy Mark I in 1:3 scale...are you listening Cinemaquette??::

I just saw this piece in person at the Marvel store at Islands of Adventure. Lots of little details on this sucker. Congrats to all who got this

 

[Blu Falcon]

I really dig that display.

Surprised to hear today that my waitlist for the exclusive got converted -
I only just got on the list 4 days ago. Given that, why are the exclusives
selling on ebay for about $100 more than retail?

I know for real. My waitlist just got converted and I only got on it a week or two ago having originally cancelled my order. Pitu talked me back into it. Didnt realize how massive it was. I think the specs on sideshow are off on size and weight for this piece.

I looked on ebay and sometimes you cant even find an ex for this. Maybe one at any given time. Oh well, not complaining. Im getting the RDJ ex head and I think that tops this piece off well. Congrats yodasan

Oh, and that Ironman custom mark 2 bust above....is just plain AWESOME. I wish sideshow would have used a more metallic paint for all the busts.

what the...??? it must be frustrating for trevor. what a way to ruin someone's hard work and talent. first it was the 2nd indy pf, now this. sans the face though, the piece looks damn good now. congrats to those who have it.

Made a quick review of the piece.

When you see these two together one def dwarfs the other. If you want poseability and more accurate hot toys is the way to go. Although tony stark looks asian and really dark.

If you want a statue with an epic pose...then SS. But you be the judge when seeing them side by side.

I'm dying to see this maquette with a repaint to really show off Trevor's sculpt.

 

[tylerdurden]

mike, dunno if anyone's told u this, but your new sig is pretty

 

[The Mike]

You are the first. I figured its a compromise and let's see if Dave has a sense of humor.
