Anyone receive their Mark 42 from Simply Toys yet??

They got delayed due to the arm issue... I'm still waiting for my Mark 42 also, I had word that I might get him this month...

As others have said..They do them in batches and it can take months to get them all out. I'm still waiting on mine as well.

The Mark XLII finally arrived from my connection in Singapore -- Top notch guy to deal with.

My first impressions:

- Unboxing is a real pleasure and experience. The quality of packing material, and packing of statue is incredible.

- Immaculate pain application. Golds are stunning. Red is shiny and vibrant (a bit too much compared to the movie, but still outstanding). Blacks are deep and accurate, with little-to-no paint bleeds. In sunlight it’s even more stunning.

- Craftsmanship is brilliant. Heavy, solid, and high quality cold-cast porcelain is a real treat to hold.

- Magnets are true, and strong.

- Base is sturdy, and really highlights the museum pose as it should.

One minor flaw I've discovered is that the left arm does not sit flush with the body (small gap can be seen in the second photo). Working on rectifying this. Otherwise, a great pick up!

I stare at this statue every day and those pics still blew me away. It's an immaculate piece.

Ha! This was my exact problem too. I searched it everyday in hopes that I could convince myself that I didn't need it... As you can see, I clearly did need it, and alas I am very happy I did!

Thanks for the kind notes guys.

I am so frustrated waiting for this piece... I paid in full over three months ago and still no word. It's not like they made thousands of this guy. Getting the arm issue fixed should have been a top priority considering he launched in January now, almost 6 months ago!!! If I don't hear something by the end of June im getting my money back an ill get the OG or Mark VII version. I love XM but this is straight sloppy and unacceptable.

Just got mine the other day, I have to say it has one of the best paint applications I've seen on a Iron Man Statue, it's pretty close to flawless. Also the paint gives you that metal look which really makes the statue pop.... As good as it looks in pictures it's even better in hand... I'm really impressed with this statue.
