Interesting. I like the classic design and the action pose. Let's see what else they have to offer. A diorama maybe?

I'm always glad to see another classic Iron Man statue being made but this one doesn't quite hit the mark for me. That shooting backwards pose looks a little odd.
Just saw the price on Forbidden Planet £594.99

I assume the price is so high because they are each hand painted here in the UK, they could shave a couple of hundred off the price if they shipped them over to China. Sideshows prices would be sky-high as well if they didn't use cheap Chinese labour.

Pose is based on Iron Man #25.
I'm gonna keep an eye on these guys, if they do a classic Cap next that knocks my socks off i may be willing to pay the high asking price.

Produced in the UK is nice. QC shouldn't be a problem. But if the price above is accurate then yikes! Although FP isn't the cheapest of vendors.

Looks good, although I would pass for that price even if I wasn't already passing due to not caring for the classic iron man style.
Look forward to seeing their future stuff though, and hopefully a bit cheaper.

That design element to hold the statue up sucks. If you can't figure out how to do a visually appealing action pose then don't do it. If that's there first showing out of the gates, then add the price, they are going to fail before they get to producing things.
