I don't know if this has been mentioned anywhere else but the current listed height of 16.5 on Sideshow and BBTS is wrong. I only noticed because none of my shelves are 16" and he fits easily into them. The height is closer to 15.5".

Finally got him in…opened it just to inspect and in the box he went until the move.
But OMG the paint app is Amazing. Can’t wait to put him up next to the Hulkbuster. Really well done, it’s great looking in person pictures don’t do it justice.

Finally got mine in from Spec yesterday too.

I'm slightly disappointed to see that he's smaller in scale than the Tweeterhead Poison Ivy. I have her currently displayed in my "1/6 - smaller 1/4 - spot". I probably won't be rotating her out and IM in till fall.

Ivy is likely oversized, but when I was imaging IM in her place I was imaging something with a larger presence.

Not a big deal, I suppose, as it's still the best looking, Layton-inspired Iron Man I'ver seen yet. One big plus is the box is thankfully on the smaller, more compact size.
And hell, it's a great pose and the gloss is off the charts.

Unfortunately that's also going to be an annoyance for me as I got stuck with a sloppy paint app.
Looks like it was painted all over with the gold coat first, then the red, as the gold is peeking through the top rim of the belt on mine. The tonal contrast and angle make it stick out quite a bit.
While the paint match and brush over should be a simple fix, the problem is going to be replicating the gloss. I hope one coat of something like Tamiya gloss over it will be enough to just make it not stick out.

The other pause I have is masking when I go to touch it up. Even with low tack tape, I'm a bit concerned that the residue is going impact the gloss coat. We'll see, I guess.

One other observation- while it doesn't light up, it's nice to see some interesting depth to the interior on the arc reactor. Don't know that you can tell from the pic, but it's a cool, subtle effect with the shiny clear lens over it.

The paint app issue is a bit deflating, but it could have been so much worse. Even a clean break would have been catastrophic because of that gloss coat.
Thankfully it's a huge winner otherwise.
Glad I grabbed it!
