The Regular version is identical to the exclusive except the LED lights. They just didn't drill the holes and make the hollow compartments for the electronics.
I have 3 of these dioramas all 100% authentic and my Regular Hulks paint is better than my Exclusive Green Hulks'. Go figure.
It's not that the Excl. isn't painted well, it's just the slight differences in shading and highlights which make me like it more.


I have to say....I haven't seen any recasts of these 2 on Ebay in some time.
I really hope that means Marvel shut down those crooks.

After I got the "real" Ironman, I now realize what a beautiful piece this is compare to the recast. I took the picture as quick and as accurate as possible from my point of view of comparing. The colours look so obvious; one is dark yellow and red, while the other one is lighter, especially the gold bit. And one of their left arms slightly bent inward than the other, so do the their shoulder. The bases are also can be easily compared.

As for my recast Hulk diorama, remember how pissed off I was. Well, I paint the sucker RED. Lets just say I've almost made my peace with it. Give it another week or two for my full satisfaction

so the real one is the one on the right right?
I can tell by the blue paint on the base. The thinner blue paint is the real one right?

Yeap. The right one is the ACTUAL Ironman. I'm seriously glad I got the real one. Just wanna experience everybody else's fuss at looking at it in person.

Glad you got the real one to adore.

Recasters, frauds and scammers should have their 'nads cut and fried as an example to others.
