I have Ironman!

Ok the post heading is a little lame but it would be lamer if I’d said ‘I am Ironman’. :D   I was passing by ‘Toys R Us’ the other day and saw that they had the Ironman Mark Vl action figure and it looked pretty good so I bought one! I’m not kidding when I say that this is by far the most detailed action figure I’ve ever owned. There are some places which could be improved with a little panel lining so I might run through them with a micro tip pen and maybe some black acrylic paint to give it some depth.

Every panel and body part is superbly detailed and the quality of the plastics used is quite good. I also noticed that the chest plate has a translucent metallic paint job and gives it a little depth. Articulation is limited to the neck, shoulders and legs but the build quality makes up for it. Click on through for more pictures.

    But it doesnt even do anything. Just stands there looking ugly .

    Why did you spend good money on it ? So you could bring it home and take pictures of it , really?

      The Mark 6 suit has a different Arc reactor, which has a different power source. Watch the movie and you’ll understand :) The fingers on each hand are in a static pose. I used Photoscape for the special effects ;)
