Not too bad. It's Stark but don't see RDJ there.
Looks like he favours the left nostril for boogers

Yeah, the portrait is pretty bad.
But the rest seems oddly clean. I'm excited!

Nope no stand
I just settled it into my display case and wow, for me it is the most attractive between the VI, WM and IP. It may be hunched over but the 42's body is long while still having some great bulk. The proportions just look great. This guy looks MEAN.

I just realized it looked like that in the picture but in person it doesn't look like that at all

Congrats on the pickup! Compared to IP this looks like the Sistine Chapel
Don't see too many paint bleeds on this one which is great, as that completely ruins an Iron man statue at this scale.
The RDJ portrait is okay on this one imo. It's actually one of the better actor portrait efforts Sideshow has done that I can remember and that's a good thing. I'm comparing that to the Cavill Man of Steel, Hemsworth Thor, Ruffalo Hulk, Reeve Superman & Cheadle Iron Patriot both of which are an abomination.
Wish Sideshow QC took the Iron patriot release seriously, as these would have made a nice pair had they both turned out in the ballpark of the prototypes first shown. No way I'd buy one without the other though.

Thanks
It really is a shame that when they're side by side, you can see how IP looks more 'rough' in comparison and I agree on not having one without the other. The two statues display great together. Now, looking forward to the Mk II.

Hemsworth portrait on the original movie Thor was 
TFA was one of the better ones, I really like it.
Nowt wrong with Ruffalo Hulk

This one? Idk, I think the RDJ portrait is better.

Mine looks better than that although I much prefer the masked portrait.
First pics of this one are up I see. Good clear pics too. I agree, it's painted much better than the IP; however, looking at the pics again, the black lines on the silver parts and/or pieces still look cheaply painted. Especially the silver parts on his backside and around the armpit area. Congrats on the score and thanks for sharing those pics.
Only thing I don't like are the shiny "metallic" gold parts of the armor. Otherwise yeah looks pretty solid.
Holymother! At last the paintjob looks pretty clean to me, and the RDJ portrait isn't too bad. Ordered! as I have the Stealth Cap on ordered too to accompany this one, hopefully Caps unmasked portrait get some improvements too.
Wow, that is LEAPS AND BOUNDS better than IP and probably every IM piece SSC has done in the last 3-4 years. I still don't like the actual paint type but it looks very close to the proto from SDCC. Granted, I really disliked the proto as well but at least those that POed are getting something close to the proto. This gives us some hope going forward on IM pieces. I think the IP PF was just the bottom of the barrel for SSC...they just had to redeem themselves a little. I hope the mark V, VII, and III come out looking like that with more metallic paints

Yeah, the lines look pretty clean. If at least one more person gets theirs and it's just as good, I'll bite and order one. I need a 1/4 Iron Man to complete my core Avengers lineup!
Coming right up.
Looking pretty good. Hope this turns out well for all. I think the RDJ portrait looks very nice actually. Not perfect but still nive. Paint apps as a whole look great. XM version has better paint apps but I think the pose and the RDJ portrait are far better on this one. Wish SSC could have nailed the XM paint apps as that one looks like real metal IMO.
Big improvement over the IP. I thought about picking this one up even though I prefer the Mark III. I just love the pose on this one. Best IM pose out there IMO.

Yeah SSC seems to own the Arnold and Harrison Ford (my TOD Indy is killer) portraits but are still off with other sculpts. Having said that, everyone that comes to my home comments on how the Hulk looks like Ruffalo. Personally I think the Reeve portrait is OK and actually think the Cheadle portrait is very good. It's the scary eyes that ruin that one
Keaton Bats is well done also.
Looking at the RDJ portrait again.. It's definitely more tony Stark then RDJ. Still nice though.
Here's the money shot!!!

I forgot about Keaton and how it turned out, time to practice Google-Fu

Don't know if you picked the scary eye gif on purpose but that is what is wrong with the portrait
