XM & Legendary Beasts Studios 1:3 Iron Man

Luckily, I choose Kirby Hulk, they look so gorgeous classic and unique together.

Would love to see the Wasp in museum pose in this line up. With maybe Ant-Man in shrunken size standing on her shoulders.

Then add the Vision and the Scarlet Witch after that, both in museum poses, too. That would be the ultimate line up.

I actually mentioned to Jay the other day that Ant-Man and The Wasp would complete the original Avengers line-up, and that they could be offered in shrunken form as proximity pieces with a larger figure. He said maybe Hawkeye.

Very nice! Glad we're on the same brain wave.

Hope he considers Ant-Man and the Wasp. In the meantime, a Hawkeye piece for this line would be nice, too.

That photo is the best this piece has looked to me, so far.
I'm not keen on how they interpreted the classic helmet (I much prefer the indication of a nose bridge as found on the Koto, over the flat face plate), or any of the modern flourishes they incorporated.
Like the Captain America, I'd probably be able to sigh and look past those eventually, as the main impression of it is still mostly classic.

Base looks great, and seems to be a nice size/detail compromise between the extravagantly elaborate Thor and the minimalist Cap.

And if those aren't light ups, it's a truly fantastic paint job. Nice touch with the rose/copper around the helmets on the base.

Overall, much nicer than the impression I got pre-paint. Fortunately for me and my wallet, the Koto still fully scratches my itch for this character.

Of course, it's also right there in the quote

It's amazing what good lighting can do for a piece. The images of it on the showroom didn't interest me at all, but Art's pictures have me much more impressed.
