Quite boring.. boring choice to go with. Not a fan of all that 'gold'. I much prefer red with a touch of gold

Well crap ...I wouldn't have mind the pose if this was a comic-based classic Iron-Man.

Enough already! We need a comic-based classic Iron-Man!

I’m not sure why anyone is surprised or even mad at this point. It’s a solid business strategy that’s proven to work. They continuously sell out of Wolverine, Iron Man, Batman, Harleys and Deadpools. Why would they stop? I believe they’ve even said their strategy is to pull in the public audience and not hardcore collectors.

I'm not shocked there is another Iron Man. I am shocked at the blatant repaint the did to release a "new" Iron Man.

Wonder what the price difference will be!

A repaint of a not very good statue now with a more boring base....Sideshow should be ashamed of this.

Just awful.

It's not that it's a repaint that's a problem, it's that 1) It's a repaint of a statue that wasn't even that good the 1st time around, 2) The original version is multiple years old now so it looks really lazy, and 3) It's going to look pretty bad when it's close to double the price.

Not that most of the people who buy it will even be aware of these things. They won't know the history.

To be fair Marvel are the ones that simply repainted the 42 and dubbed it the 43. Not saying this isn't incredibly lazy on Sideshow's part, but Marvel made this sort of thing a no brainer for collectible companies.
