If Hasbro isn’t going to do double ball jointed necks properly they might as well stick with the disc hinge. Obviously the double is better in theory and most practical applications, but they don’t care about function it seems.

I attribute it to the first movie but I like Iron Man bulky. It just makes sense to me that he would be bulky if it were actually a person inside of a suit. They aren't overly bulky, but I like the Extremis look and Model 70. They look like actual armor to me. I don't really understand how the other armors like the classic suit would actually function, and that just bugs me. The only slim suit I like is the Bleeding Edge, which is funnily my favorite suit of his, but some artists like Larocca drew it pretty bulky and that's more so how I prefer it. Also, thanks for this review because everybody else is raving about this figure but you may have saved me some money.
@lucianganea30342 жыл бұрын
I think I prefer a middle ground for Iron Man armor size. Not as skin tight as the classic armors or like the Bleeding Edge one, but not as bulky as Silver Centurion. I think my favourite is Model 25/Pre Extremis. Looks like a man in a practical armor to protect him

I am a huge Iron Man-love this figure. The sculpt is fantastic. I agree that the eye slits don’t match a lot of the interior artwork, but the interior art and cover art diverges quite a bit. Panel lining would have been nice. But otherwise, I think this figure is great! By the way, the swirling jet stream effect does wrap around the repulsor effect itself. You have to for the two together and then peg the repulsor blast into the foot or hand to hold the two effects together. The spiral jet effect looks best as a contrail under the jet boots.

I like the bulkier look for armoured characters. Makes it look like they're wearing a protective suit. This figure could do with more range of movement, smaller eye slits and a dark wash in the panel seams. Xcorpeo shaded the panel lines and made it look way better. His overall proportions look good. I wish the white discs had a blue glow at the edges, like the new Havok's chest symbol.

Personally, I like the aesthetic of a sleek Ironman suit with bulky accents like the chest, pauldrons, gauntlets, boots, etc.. Basically, slimmer for high-mobility areas and support for low mobility areas. With that said, I give the silhouette of this guy a pass sense, while he doesn’t have superhero proportions, it at least looks like it could suitably fit an adult human in there. My big issues with this guy are the lack of panel lining for the segmented areas, the lack of color in repulsers, and how blocky the eyes are. I understand and respect your stance that it should have more paint, but as an outdoor figure photographer in Phx, I prefer figures with a bit less paint since it reduces the rub during transportation. Molded plastic if fine though washes or panel lining is preferable to bring out details without risking paint wear as much.

I feel sorry for Alex Ross having to see his beautiful artwork warming the pegs. So for the product itself - I love the suit - but it is not good enough supplant the 80th or the DST MS Silver Centurion in my collection. What I would love to see ML try to make would be the Golden Bucket version from Avengers #1. They couldn't screw that up could they?

I know the figure has its flaws, but it just works for me. It also came with the best Tony stark head sculpt as well. I might pick up this one too though, it's been ages since I got a new ML, this one seems passable. Great review as always!

I’d say I enjoy a good slim fit Iron Man a lot, but also can go for heft any day too. Really I like suits where their design is based on their purpose, why does that specific iron man suit exist what does it do better than the others that Tony would pick that one for a fight. Also design aesthetic being thought out with the colors so probably a wash would of made these details on this figure mesh better & when all the reactors on the suit are the point maybe a nice lil extra blue streak or two on them for a shimmer or reflective look would of made this figure pop enough to justify its price increase.

I'm usually not as upset at lack of paint as you, but with this figure, it really lets it down. The run by Christopher Cantwell where this suit debuted is what got me to reading Iron Man comics properly, and even though Alex Ross isn't an artist on the series, his style is one that REQUIRES paint. Paint is literally what he is known for. Even other artists give the armour a noticeable shine, so seeing it so flat like this turns me off it. I'll hopefully be able to paint it myself, but I really shouldn't have to.
