I think it's clear from all the complaints recieved regarding Iron Studios 1/4 scale version of the MK42, that until they can prove themselves in terms of quality products then they don't really stand a chance when adding Legacy style price tags to their statues. Can't see them shifting too many of these but we'll see
As for the statue, totally agree that the battle damage looks terrible and I'm really disappointed with the base. Needs something more to bring it to life IMO. Will wait to see inhand pics before writing it off completely but with Sideshow/Legacy still to announce their Iron Patriot and MK42 LSFs, I think it's more wise to stick with them
