It all depends on production but if it's good this will be a stunner.

I still have the Mark 42, and unfortunately that didn’t come close to the prototype.
Each piece is up to chance and serendipity.

Looks great but didn't need the shoulders.

Oh yes it did! More busts should have shoulders!

Being complete all the way around adds to the realism and matches it to the War Machine and others.

Absolutely thrilled with the shoulders.

I agree. I totally love the shoulders. It’s the only reason I decided to get the Mark 42 in the first place........ on second thoughts I wish the Mark 42 never had the shoulders.

But I totally understand why a lot of the collectors who have the older busts may not ‘like’ the shoulders as they wouldn’t match the older Iron-Man busts in their collection.

Absolutely this should have shoulders.

Sideshow already did a mark III bust without them. The OG mark III bust would have been my first SS piece but I never jumped on it (was not a collector at the time) was not exactly what I was looking for which was a suit of armor (or part of one) in my home. I like this one a lot, it's (more or less) what I have been looking for in an iron man bust. Not sure if I will sacrifice the money or space for it. If I didn't already have the SS mark III Marquette I would be all in on this, don't think I need both.

I like the busts for things like this. Part of movie Iron Man's appeal is the realism and that isn't something anything less than lifesize can do.

Love the look of this. Love the size of it. But can't justify 2100$ CAD for this… that's just insane...

As far as life size busts, the price imo isn’t too surprising.

4 years ago the Mark 42 was 20% cheaper than that. Whereas over the same period most of the PF’s were 33% cheaper than they are now.

I have the OG (and will be keeping it) and also prefer the shoulders.
