feels like one of those figures you should mainly buy in-person so you can suss out paint apps and QC issues

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Indeed

[@Cooleepable]

I dug up an old comment I had made on a different video concerning this figure, because I too had some QC issues, mainly with the red paint, so here you go. Should work as long as the silver underneath is still intact and the affected area is not too large. Hope it helps. "FYI: for all those little nicks and scrapes this figure is most definitely going to get, Tamiya X-27 (Clear Red) works very well to cover those up" And yes, the shoulder pads should rotate, at least they do on mine, but paint chipping might be an issue. Mine was comparatively fine QC wise. Also, the backpack wings(?) open up to reveal some tech detail on the inside, although paint can be an issue there too.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I thought the back might open but mine wouldn't budge so i just left it alone

[@anymesh4]

Don't know if that "MY package, very big" was a joke but I laughed out loud 😂

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Happy to entertain

[@artfiend75]

Bahahahahahahaha!!!!! I genuinely laughed out loud at that taint joke! Dude that and your regular package, I’m crying over here!!! 😂😂😂

[@jaioncebollero1168]

Mega man pellets out his knuckles was good too lol

[@Maddcustoms7]

Anthony, will you do an update video once your replacement arrives? If the replacement doesn’t have any qc issues then it would be a phenomenal figure

[@AnthonysCustoms]

I will

I remember asking you to review this a while back and I'm so glad it finally happened. He's such a great figure for $30

[@ReeceHoward06]

The shoulder pads do indeed rotate. I forgot how I got mine to do so, but they do. Didnt know until I watched a review when this first released.

[@Sprocketman]

Can confirm, they're just really, really stuck

[@JeminiThaBard]

That's crazy as it seems like Anthony did give it a good, strong effort to move them. Dang. you have to be a Iron Man to play with Iron Man.

[@theraven268]

@@JeminiThaBard Shouldn't have to do this, but heat or warm water can fix that right up.

[@ReeceHoward06]

@@JeminiThaBard It didn't take me much to move them. It just wasn't super obvious that I could. Keep in mind, I got this when it 1st released a few years ago.

[@roninjimojisan2572]

I was in high school when IM issue #300 dropped. I remember that armor very fondly. If I did collect comic figs, he'd be at the top of my list.

[@marvelcraftgamer4086]

My collection is mostly 1:12 scale stuff, but I picked it up anyway - my copy didn’t really have any QC issues outside of some minor scuffing, but I have seen reviews with some bad copies. I’m honestly glad that Select is basically doing an Iron Man line at this point.

[@magicmirror8627]

Does your shoulder pads rotate? They don't look like they're supposed to if you ask me.

[@koscokos]

@@magicmirror8627mine do rotate.

[@paulrippcord506]

If I ignored great figures with QC issues I’d never buy Mafex but alas I don’t know how to quit them. T2 Arnold may keep losing his arms but dang it’s so good looking.

[@tonileo9849]

Yep, Mafex Wolverine also comes to mind

[@paulrippcord506]

@@tonileo9849 Yep, arms aside, that’s such a beautiful figure. I don’t care that the stripes aren’t black, the metallic blues are gorgeous and he looks like he was ripped straight out of a Capcom arcade machine.

[@tonileo9849]

@@paulrippcord506 yeah its a lovely figure but im also glad we got Brown suit and X Force which didnt feature problems like the Tiger Stripe ver. What do you think about Cyclops? That was a pretty scrutinized figure as well.

[@paulrippcord506]

@@tonileo9849 I have a love/hate relationship for that figure. The recent Marvel Legends Cyclops figures are honestly almost as good and half the price. I think the Mafex head sculpts are far better than Legends but all the articulation is there and the Legends belt doesn’t get in the way. It’s splitting hairs.

[@PowerChordEPS]

I don't mind the red paint scraping, it almost looks like battle damage because of the silver. Same with the arms, just a simple heat and swap and you're golden. I do hope those pauldrons rotate since even Hasbro knows to slip the joint under the shoulder to let it move with the arm.

[@JH-uh9zc]

I dont know why, but I love Diamond's big, chunky boxes. I remember buying the Alice video game line and just loving the boxes so much, I kept them in.

[@LaurieEllison-pb5gg]

This figure is great just ordered marvel select venom

[@TheRevenantEdits]

Feels like one of those cases where both this Marvel Select and the Marvel Legends figure of this armor of Iron Man are on pretty equal footing At least imo

[@LaurieEllison-pb5gg]

I agree

[@artsquestions.1722]

Bought mine last year and had no qc issues. shoulder guards turn with ease on mine. I think iron man and captain America and the marvel select Hulk are top notch.

[@chewymew]

For the QotD, I might still buy a figure knowing it has QC issues. Unless it's something catastrophic like two right arms or terrible paint apps that I can't easily fix (like misaligned face deco.) I once bought a figure whose hips weren't assembled correctly, so it couldn't stand straight. It was the only one I could find, so I didn't have much of a choice.

[@FREKKI]

The QC on mine wasn’t as bad but still worse than I’ve ever had from them. But I do still love this figure.

[@ayan31_08]

I have this iron man and it is my favorite iron man figure in my collection. He has some limitations, but that metallic paint and the accessories are just unbelievable for the price

[@bossk222]

You got very unlucky on this one ! I got mine on clearance, in a destroyed box and i had very few qc issues, no loose joints and even the biceps were assembled the right way. The big shoulders were also stuck but with enough heat and force i was able to free them. This and a little paint flaw on the head with the googles were the only big problems i had !

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Nice. You're the first one to say they got the arms the right way. Lucky

[@yoy5903]

This is definetly one of my favorite figures. The paint is super nice, im a sucker for metallic. Also, the shoulder pads do rotate!

[@nhyar]

If it's a character I really like and the accessories are interesting enough... Yeah, I'd still buy it even if I'm aware it has qc issues. I really want this Silver Centurion figure but I'm gonna wait for a classic Iron Man in red and gold. If Diamond Select makes one with the same level of care they put into the Captain America... Man, that's gonna be one of the best Iron Man figures ever made. I hope they do it.

[@arthurchen6464]

Damnit, them devious Select PR people are seriously tempting me to dive into their line with these samples they sent you. DAMNIT.

[@brentwerley6762]

That Tony Stark head looks like he's still in the sauce, haha

[@TheWeekinDoubt]

Your trouble with the shoulder pads made me curious, so I quickly jumped over to another review. Shartimus reviewed it too and his figure's shoulders rotated all the way around no problem. The paint must have really bonded on your copy. He had some issues with paint chipping as well though.

[@diegoborges3716]

QC issues aside, almost every figure Diamond Select releases sweeps the floor with ML.

[@matthinton19]

100% they are bigger, better articulated, more paint and accessories and cheaper than ml still

[@OverBenthousand]

I think they’re starting to. That Cap is fantastic.. but they need to do a new Wolverine because their old ones are meeeeeeehhhhh

[@drae1976]

Mine broke at the inner hip joint taking it out of the package. Never sent it back just used all the awesome extras for kitbashing.

[@darthamrel3052]

The backpack also opens if that was not mentioned already

[@danleonhart1]

Still have the comic book Captain America 341 from May 1988. Stark was wearing this suit when he fought Rogers wearing the black Cap uniform.

[@HasBiz_ToyBro]

There are some truly fantastic Diamond Select toys, unfortunately the tightness / looseness on joints is something that's common in almost every figure (from various franchises) that I've picked up.

[@TheMattTrakker]

Mine had the arms swapped too, none of the other QC issues yours had. Even the paint on the ankles stays in place after moving the feet, so hopefully your replacement one is much better. This is one of my favorite Ironman armors, so I was very happy to see them make a nice one. I thought the stand was just to make him stand based on the design of it I never even considered trying to put him in a flight pose haha. Also wasn't aware there is supposed to be an ankle rocker until watching this, mine did not want to move

[@jerklesirkfourthreezeronin5125]

I would easily pay 10 more dollars just to have these in 1/12th scale. I think the articulation and scale is caused by some stupid contract that was made so they didn't step on Toybiz's toes when making action figures. I don't see why that is still enforced when toybiz doesn't even exist anymore. Still, I would happily have this 7 foot tall Silver Centurion in my display.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Hasbro has a license for 1:12 scale.

[@ayan31_08]

Those shoulder pauldrons do rotate. Urs is stuck. It rotates, i was a little disappointed too when i opened him, cause of how well it is done, sculpt hides it but was happy when those did rotate

[@donovanbrood]

Hi Anthony, greetings from México City, I am a huge fan from yourv videos!!, keep the good work. Regarding this figure, I have it and I can confirm that shoulders pads actually rotate, so, maybe yours have its shoulders glued with paint.

[@JayWoods483]

Fantastic review Anthony. Sadly, this product didn't impress in the manner to which I wanted. I purchased the same product, and I didn't experience the same QC issues. The only blemish I have is a slight red mark on some silver near the top of the calf. On display, the arms are stretched outwards, I cannot tell if the shoulder pads move. The accessories overcome some of the limitations in articulation. Despite this product's shortcomings I do believe it to be much more superior to the ML version. Carpet days mean the end is near. That light at the end of the tunnel shines brightly.

[@noirerequiemii101]

thankfully only had a slight paint issue, and also dst has been amazing about replacing problematic figures. this is my current favourite Select Iron man

[@boywithanearring]

1:22 "i do wanna show you my package, again, VERY BIG. Maybe TOO BIG. I've heard some people say that" uhhhh anthony? we're talking about the same thing right?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Hard to say

[@GeorgeNadaYT]

It's a great figure. But mine came flawed. The helmet on mine came missing the cap where the neck peg fits into. I contacted diamond select and they sent me a new helmet sculpt. I should swap the arms on mine too.

[@justinDchapman]

Ive seen a few other reviews and the shoulder armor does rotate on this figure

[@BonesEye42]

Marvel select is my go to for marvel figs i just wish they would make more of them quicker .

[@LitchAzazel]

I feel like you should give Quality Control its own rating. After all, you give McFarlane toys a cake rating. 😂

[@Samson_Quardav]

I got first issue of Amazing Yamaguchi Iron-man knowing about his paint issue. Sometimes I don't mind QC issues but for this one is just too much for me. Hope it's just your copy that was so messed up.

[@hulkai]

I’ll buy a figure with q.c issues If it’s very special, because I’m fairly confident in fixing some issues, that being said I didn’t buy Trunks until they fixed him. It’s rare.

[@The8BitChampion]

Small nicks of red paint flaking off very easily on mine and I feel like they could have done a better job with the accessories as well. They still haven't got the comic proportions down right.

[@Toys_and_Tings]

I also got a whole ton of qc issues, stuck joints that don’t come unstuck even after heat, and paint scratches all over. My second one is much better. Definitely an amazing figure but qc definitely a big issue

[@noirerequiemii101]

correction though my shoulder pads do rotate, i'd definitely heat it up, that's a shame they're stuck

[@bryanmarcia4104]

Never seen that many qc issues on a Select. 😂Also the shoulder pads are supposed to rotate.

[@yaddasmelkins]

Would love to see a size comparison with Marvel legends to help determine if the scale is a deal breaker or not for me. Great review as always!

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Did i not compare him to Darwin?

[@yaddasmelkins]

@AnthonysCustoms you did! Apologies, I meant to put *Marvel Legends Iron Man* but missed it before submitting the comment

[@AnthonysCustoms]

ah. gotcha

[@isaac_drakone7714]

If a figures looks so darn good and has qc issues I would still buy it, I don’t mind fixing it

[@troycasten6742]

This figure looks beautiful but doesn’t function as intended. I got this in the mail and the leg joints were cracked and made it loose. The shoulder pads would not rotate with the arms. The limited articulation is frustrating. I haven’t picked up the figure since. The accessories are good tho. Might use the unmasked head for an Omniman

[@grubbygooch]

hoping to see you review the mezco dr doom one day, would love to see your thoughts

[@dankerbell]

unless it's unfixable, i'd still buy, the first release of boy from the future trunks had a couple but they were easy to fix, but i've had one with two of the same feet and there's nothing i can really do about that and i wish i knew in advance

[@shauntothemaxx5639]

QotD: Depends on the figure. If it's a shelf filler (ie a character I like, but not an all timer), easy pass. Won't bother. If it's one of the one I want. Depends on how bad the QC issue is. I've been burned before (ie Hasbro, WWE) and just end up throwing them out.

[@zbaloch27]

Anthony was so disappointed in the shoulder pads not moving. I was really hoping that they would come unstuck when he tried.

[@AnthonysCustoms]

Me too. Maybe my replacement will be better

[@matthinton19]

2:20 ayo darwin where’s that hand going. Il take the risk with it with QC, like 99% of the SHf trunks were garbo so I was happy to wait for a rerelease. If I’m not sure it will get a rerelease I’m grab it despite the issue

[@jlcarid]

Was there ever a follow-up to this video? Did you figure out whether or not the shoulders would move?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

There was

[@Nemesis_Prime666]

Awesome figure

[@jlcarid]

Has anyone else tried contacting diamond select? Because I did and they said the shoulders don’t move nor are they ever supposed to

[@DucktorZom]

The mismatched anatomy would DRIVE ME CRAZY-I want to love this figure but have been reluctant because of some of these risks. Still destroys the Hasbro one.

This figure is realy good except for the problems, the new Marvel Select line is amazing, they made a very good improvements. Im waiting for a regular Iron Man and I bought the new Cap ( problably the best comic Cap figure ).

@@AnthonysCustoms me too.

[@The_singularity]

Anthony, when you moved the upper diaphragm side to side, and forward and back, I noticed two giant gashes of red paint had been removed from three lower abdomen section. In your opinion, do you think it would’ve been possible to produce this figure like this with all the paint it has but without all the paint rub?

[@AnthonysCustoms]

It's not paint rub. I think you might've skipped the beginning of the video. It was from the parts touching in the package and getting stuck together

[@The_singularity]

@@AnthonysCustoms oh yes, you are correct. I thought those marks were from the torso rubbing during movement. Thanks for clarifying.

[@TheFigureNomad]

Hi @AnthonyCustoms. Do you now consider collecting Marvel Select?

[@willthomson69]

No taints, showing us your package, man this video is weird. Seriously though, I don't collect Marvel Select but these figures are making me reconsider.

[@JeminiThaBard]

Most likely I'm ok with QC issues with a good figure ONLY if I have the skills to fix it. Missing paint, that's ok, switched arms, not a problem. Two left feet? Uh no. Marvel Legends has been pissing me off with the gummy plastic they are using. Figures are taking nose dives off my shelf constantly. The pinless ones are a bit better. But I'm ready stop buying. Marvel Legends purchases are projects to me now.

[@joeguido2931]

Throw it out

[@AlphaProto]

That QC is very bad. I don't want to buy a full priced figure that looks like a used figure out of the box.
