Hello guys, this is my first post, im from Spain and i have been waiting for this statue 7 months but finally is here and i want to share with all of u how angry i am with the control quality of sideshow.
The statue seems to be ok but when i begin to assemble i quickly noticed that something was wrong. The legs are to inclined forward but i continue assembling the rest of the body and here is the result.
This iron man seems to be ready to fly, very very angled forward
I also discovered a crack in the left foot.
Happened this to anyone else? any advice?
Sorry for my english

This is the exact problem that mine had. Unfortunately when I tried to reinstall the legs after the first attempt the square metal peg got stuck. I figured I would remove the legs again and to try and sand the hole that the peg goes in to allow to peg to seat properly. On removing the legs the second time the peg would not come free and the heel sheared off! I spoke to the folks at Sideshow, explained what happened and after sending pictures (at their request) of the broken pieces they told me to repackage it, send it back and they would replace the whole thing.

I received the replacement today and once I have completed the light up riser to match the one under my Mark III, I'll take it out and put it together. The riser should be finished late this week or early next week. We've been crazy busy at work (We just finished building the 'Survivor' finale amongst many other projects) otherwise it would have been finished already.
I would like to add that the folks at Sideshow could not have been more helpful. I contacted them on December 1st after the Thanksgiving holiday and 15 days later I have the replacement. The fact I only live 25 miles from them helps.

Good luck with getting yours replaced. You could carefully sand the peg hole but as the foot is cracked it won't totally resolve your problem. I'll post pictures of my Mark VII once I get it on the light up riser.

$2000 dollars well spent. I would just ask for my money back. Good luck with it man.

They look great. Clearly the Mark 7 is a better looking armor than the Mark 3 and its pose is superior.

 

[Malgus]

anyway, enough talk about Banning! just wanted to show this great pic as proof that a metallic faceplate is achievable

I so need to do this to mine

I would not want to risk sending the head of a $2000 figure anywhere. What if it gets lost or destroyed? You would be left with a headless $2000 statue.

yep, if one can get a mint one anyways, which seems to be the problem.

the standard paint job of the faceplate is very good

Harsh truth: no touch ups should be necessary on a 2000$ piece. The LSF line is a major failure.

Sadly so... Many collectors are DIY and repaint their collections now days.

 

[azurepred]

maybe so, but most in this hobby buy pieces that look fine painted as is. Of course I wouldn't pay retail on a open ES piece, but for $1500-1700, I think the paint app on this is fine if it doesn't have flaws. The Mark 3 may be more "accurate" in shade of colors, but I guarantee it's not painted any better than this one.

This looks great Chris really cool stuff! Hopefully my 1/2 scale Hall of Amour display won't be too much longer as we are currently experiencing some teething problems on shipping quotes as the darn display weighs a ton so as you can imagine, shipping that thing from Miami all the way to London isn't gonna be cheap

I guess it's all about personal preferences but for me the MKIII is the better of the 2 armours imo...the MKIII is still the better looking of the two in all depts plus I love the first movie

That's why I have a spare MKVII LSF head mine will be repainted after the new year as I much prefer the faceplate to look more matte for starters but more importantly to have a brushed mettalic look to it so fingers crossed it'll come out better than the original

How does one go about getting a spare lsf head? Even the hot toys mark 7 head is expensive.

If XM Stidios keep selling at this rhythm we will see 1/2 scale for sure,maybe same price and better quality,this is a old car running between the men and the new kid in town
