I am IRON MAN!
Got him home today. Perfect gift for myself for Chinese New Year this coming Monday.
So, what's the verdict?
Good good. No mismatching legs, wrong assemblies. But the arm missiles when lifted seem to fire the missiles backwards. Hmmm. Wrong assembly here? (Edit: Nope, I have to flip the missiles to fire forward)
Paint wise.....well, most parts it is good. They made plastic appear metal. Good effect. But there were some parts that the spray paint went overboard a little bit, like a hairline bleed to the gold part from the red. Minor thing. Oh, his ass, yes, the paint was a little uneven, looking like smudges on his ass.
Lights working, yes yes.
Can all the moving parts open. Flaps? Yes, yes.
But can they close properly?
Well, as you can see above, one of the flaps can't go all the way down. Tssk tssk tssk, not good. Minus 1 point.
How about his head? Tssk tssk tssk. Because of the head's contruction to fit onto the neck that has a light to illuminate Iron Man's head, you can't tilt Iron Man's head down. He's always looking straight ahead.
Another thing is that I thought this Iron Man is completely hard plastic. No no no.
Some parts are made of soft rubbery plastic, or perhaps real rubber or synthethic rubber.
Anyways, Iron Man is both soft and hard. Mostly around parts that would allow you to pose him. Do be careful, careful with some parts, like for example the piece that is on back of his hand, it's soft rubber, and is attached to a ring that attaches to the arm.
He is very poseable from photos posted by others, but at RM400 plus a pop, I am afraid of breaking things and scratching the paint.
The shoulder armour is flexible, you can move it up or down, expand or shrink. To allow shoulder movements.
I give it 3 stars out of 5.
Yeah, man-dolls from Hot Toys rock.
