Iron Man 2 Mark VI Legendary Scale Bust

[RobertoBagg10]

Good luck and Godspeed brave warrior. Have you tried using heat, then? Unfortunately there is so very little space to work with around the AR... It's like a centimeter or so at best, that there's no way to wedge anything underneath to get leverage. And if the AR piece is made of the same poly stone like stuff then you're right, I would be concerned about it breaking before the glue does.

Thanks my friend...as for applying heat, I haven't tried this yet but maybe a possibility. And you are right abt there not being much space to play around with...this is the most annoying part of it all and what could be the factor of placing too much stress in one corner of the AR thus risking possible damage...resulting in this

Whaaaaat? Where is that from? Destroyed instead of a return or something?

Yea, this pic is from a fellow collector over on Facebook who was told to destroy their MKVI before a replacement was sent out...

 

[DoggieDoc]

Man, we should ask him to look at the AR area... Any info he could give could be invaluable!

 

[gadzoox]

I already asked him about it... said it didn't look it could be turned easily or at all really..... I'm still on the fence on this one... I'm like 60 on cancelling it.. 40 on keeping it. Hmm

So... finally received mine...
Yeah... upside down arc... acceptable battle damaged... mine is gonna be a keeper since I really love the size and feel of it... Also, I won't display it open, so won't see the arc anyway... just a big letdown by Sideshow for screwing this one...

Yours look pretty good too. The face look more shinier than mine or it's just a flash from camera. You might have cleaner Battle damage paint than mine. Awesome pics.

When I first saw this, I was thinking Iron Man flexing bicep pose is kind a cool.

Maybe I'll wait till this one is 50% off.

I couldn't PO cause I had a feeling there would be poor QC.

Whilst they all should be, it won't happen. At 50% off I'd happily buy one and repaint it myself....

Another IM product with dodgy paint apps on the chin area

 

[DoggieDoc]

Yeah, very visible brush strokes yet again. The BD paint is indeed much better on his, but still not a great application overall. I also noticed an area on his wrist guard that is actually missing paint... REAL battle damage, haha!

You've seen the pictures and the issues...Now decide!
This is something only you can decide.

Never know, if SS got 2.000 of these in their warehouse for over 2 years, definitely massive discount to cut loss.

Same, there is a nice piece buried here, but not without some real work fixing the reactor and repainting the whole thing. I wouldn't pay retail to take on a project like that but for $150-$200 I might.

 

[Python]

Yeah, you worded it somewhat better than me...

 

[DoggieDoc]

This... I like this. Worded perfectly, sir.
