The first batch has already been released, however, there were some quality control issues with some of them.

Where have YOU been?

- Sideshow Stealth Comiquette (chips, scratches, poor painting)
- Sideshow Red/Gold LSB (plastic packaging mars finish)
- Diamond Select Electroplate Chrome (poor chroming)
- Kotobukiya Statue (breakage, subpar paint/colors)
- Sideshow 1:1 Bust ("War and Peace" has less pages of issues)
- Bowen Modern (subpar painting)

...and yet, I still love Iron Man best and keep on buyin'!

It's like stayin' with a kinda ugly girlfriend cause you can't imagine life w/o the pain-in-the-butt.. (in theory I say....cuz my wife is hot, ha!)

Here's the brief list of minor minor issues with the Hot Toys Iron Man. I own one myself.

1)Left back flap cannot close properly. It's left slightly ajar even when pushed all the way down. Because it is not aligned properly.
2)Back leg flaps are very tightly closed. Very hard to flip open.
3)The Iron Man is not made of all hard plastic. Some parts are rubberized material. The abdomen part and pelvis parts are encased in a rubberized material and painted metallic red. There's a pit of paint smudge.
4)Some collectors have found that some of their Iron Man's abdomen is not finished with a glossy effect. It looks matte.

That's all, other than these, it looks great!

I think it has become a curse. I just got my Bowen Iron Man and I had my guy open up 4 of them and all had one issue or another. =( The one I went with has a small piece of gold paint on the left knee.
