I was going to suggest that is most likely the way they'll go with the suit.
The reason I feel that way is because of how they handled Cap's costume- especially the buccaneer-style boots.
They paid homage to the general shape and form, but they included elements like laces and buttons to give it some semblance of real world functionality.
I like the way SSC did it better on their Allied Charge CA, but I'm just glad LBS got even a fraction of the essence there. I always loved that stylistic flourish- as nonsensical in the late 20th/21st century as it was/is.
SSC did much of the same with that 1/5 IM- kept the general look of the classic suit, but tweaked in a little more seemingly logical revisions here and there.
Then again, LBS was pretty much 100% faithful to the classic Thor suit. That may be why I love that statue more than their Cap, despite having greater affection for Cap as a character.
About the only thing I'm sure of is - that Koto Iron Man is the best looking classic IM I've seen from anyone so far!
I waffled on getting it from AE and they sold out. This thread convinced me to finally get a PO in elsewhere.
Both EE and BBTS (surprisingly) still have it available.
