The reason you SHOULD and SHOULDN’T buy Metallic Iron Giant

I review the Diamond Select Toys Iron Giant with light-up eyes and metallic finish. This new metallic finish gives the Iron Giant a more realistic look while still capturing that iconic look.

I've got the version with Hogarth and the superman symbol. I like it better than this one. Nice review.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That’s definitely the better one

[@gregthehedgehog0956]

Does that version have articulated fingers? The pics on Amazon show it having that

[@georgepasymowski2508]

@@gregthehedgehog0956 no it does not but the superman necklace and Hogarth make up for it. I took a plastic beam that came with a batman bane figure and it holds it just fine.

[@VexNToys]

Well you flatter me, thanks for the shoutout!! I like the metallic look though. It’s the like the art piece at the end of the movie.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Forgot about the end!! Haha

Thank you!

Great review! I did get the gun to completely connect to the arm. It took a few firm rotation pushes but it did go on completely. Looks much better!

Do you have a link for that stand? Couldnt find one.

it's a Play Arts Kai stand

1000toys version is pricey but worth it if you like Iron Giant and you want a pretty definitive version. it might be bigger than 14 inches and diecast too

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Nice!

The 1000toys version is only 6". Maybe you're thinking of Mondo.

I always see iron giant figures at my local collectible shops and alway want to get it but dont! Might need to now! Also I appreciate your format. You're a collectibles reviewer but also promote your art thats related to said figure. As a collector and artist myself I like it. Make me want to start a channel too

You should! And thank you very much

[@Sleepymike91]

[@Nerdmazing_Toy_Reviews]

Great review. Very cool that Diamond Select made a metallic version. Shame about the weight deal and see through mouth aspect. Wish it had effects for the accessories it comes with. Still a cool fandom piece.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, still very cool!

[@popculturehero]

He might scale well with some mobile suit gundam or Transformers collections. Still very impressive articulation for the price I think. Got some good expressive poses in this video. Getting the impression he's top heavy. There was a big electronic walking Iron Giant at walmart like three years ago along with the forbidden planet robot. Their not really poseable but they display nicely.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That sounds pretty cool!

[@trueyellow75_offical]

Hey somebody plz tell me how many points of articulation he has plz I need to know

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

"features approximately 16 points"

[@corietherrien8818]

You should do a review on the mondo iron giant!

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I wish!

[@LochNessHamster]

I've passed on most Iron Giant figures that I've seen, and I think the cel shading was the reason why. Making it actually look metallic goes a long way in making it look a lot nicer. In video games, animation, etc I love cel shading, but when it comes to physical objects I always think it looks weird. You have to lean into the realism when it's a real object, otherwise it just looks kind of cheap and plain.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

I can totally understand that!

[@BoyinBlack10]

Scary how I just saw it out in the wild and needed more info lol

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

That's weird!

[@braddecker1857]

Great review. It's too bad this figure was a let down for you. You wonder if during the prototype stage they were planning on adding a bunch of extra stuff, but due to cost it was changed.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

It’s very interesting to have that spot on the back!

[@feridradoncic2237]

I remember that movie 🍿🎥 when I was 9 years old 😊😂❤

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha 😂

[@goose1752]

I got the regular version some time ago don't remember tbh, and its great its not the best figure ever and its not that great to play with tbh but he looks good on the shelf, and that version does come with a little Hogarth. My only gripe with it is that the plastic is too thin and his whole head lights up, not just the eyes.

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Oh that’s a strange issue!

[@goose1752]

@@NostalgiaUnboxed probably because the original release is unpainted, the metallic paint on this one is probably why the light doesn’t shine through

He's from the movie ready player one 😊😂❤❤

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Haha

[@BuckarooBanzai84]

Actually, there ARE several shots in the movie where you can see the Giant's neck through his mouth, so that's pretty accurate, in fact. And for scaling; he might look pretty cool posed in a classic model-train layout! And the supplies are very easy to find! =)

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Oh that’s a good idea

@@NostalgiaUnboxed Thanks! I love the art. And I hope you're having a great holiday-season! =)

The people who say "it's only a toy you shouldn't get so upset" either have alot of money, have someone else buy everything for them, or just dont have a passion. When you spend your own hard earned $ on anything, if it's not as good as you hoped, it makes you upset.... P.S. Alf is the best figure ever

[@NostalgiaUnboxed]

Yeah, I think those commenters are just huge turds and I don’t really care since they are watching a toy reviewer and getting upset themselves lol

The 1000toys one is incredible. I have it and it was worth every penny. Not sure you can really compare considering the price points aren’t even close. It has a lot of weight to it and the articulations are awesome.
