Dont get me wrong XM/LBS is a great looking piece. However this is the classic look I was hoping for in the suit.

Kotobukia nailed it .

The quickest way to double your money is to fold it in half and put it back in your pocket.

If they want to listen to community feedback then offer a version with true classic style arms & legs which many are asking for and were excpecting when this "Layton inspired" piece was first announced.

Many times statue companies try to make the classic suit look more realistic by making it look like an actual functional real world suit but that just ruins the timeless asthetic of the iconic classic imo.

Exactly! That's what "classic" means for a comic based Iron Man statue.

I must say the piece looks great. If only those knee caps just the knee caps were not protruding the way they are….. anyways, still a very good looking piece…… just hoping that they tweak it enough

Hey, I just saw the owner of legendary beast on the Sick Mansion channel and I must say I am very impressed especially the direction of this company….. after watching the videos this Iron Man piece has grown on me so I will be picking it up….it’s not the classic Layton piece that I have always wanted….but I will be picking it up…. videos of this piece as it’s turning. Gives me a much better look on what to expect.

A lot of people thought Thor was too dark as well.
