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.
Art did clarify that the base has a light up feature. Also the extra torso seems to have a torso base as well.

One thing i noticed in the photos is that the switchout arms that is adjusting the ironman gloves seems more appropriate for the modern torso than the classic torso.

Likewise. The colours really pop.

It looks really good. Nice paint job. Huge difference compared to the unpainted statue in the previous photos. I still think the design is not classic enough though.

The knee caps totally ruined it for me and my opinion it falls short of anything classic. Oh well money saved I guess.

So are you able to do the arm sticking out but with the head with the faceplate lifted up on it?

I'm not gonna lie that does look very impressive in that vid, the colours really pop plus that 80s Stark head looks great, but I still can't get past the design choices they made for this armor, I'm really gutted because this had so much potential for me, a 1:3 scale classic style Layton Iron man would have been my dream grail piece.

Also that fact that you have to remove the torso in order to switch on the lights is a terrible decision, reminds me of the Queen Studios IM bust where you have to lift off the head in order to access the light switch. For the high price LBS will be asking for this this it should have a switch on the base that lights the whole thing up, plus a remote control for the lights.
