Iron Man Figures Item ID: #145Item DescriptionIron Man Movie Wave 01 : Iron Man Mark III appears to boast an array of articulation similar to that of a Marvel Legends figure and is equipped with a missile launcher. The red and gold Mark III armor is much sleeker than the Mark I armor, the latter of which was a rough draft with a life-saving pacemaker that enabled Tony Stark to persevere against grave injury and capture in Afghanistan. The armor provides Tony Stark with vastly augmented strength, near-invulnerability, and an arsenal of advanced weaponry including missiles and repulsor blasts; with this version of Iron Man, the repulsor blast function is apparently externalized in the form of arm-mounted projectile-firing cannon. Its fully pose-able and articulated six inch scale action figure with accessories. Compatible in size with previous Marvel Legends releases.

So it doesn’t have as many movable limbs as you would think. Below average for what action figures are capable of today. I’d only recommend it to Iron Man fans and collectors. I’d also suggest to just buy it at Target, you get it right away, and it’s cheaper. But it’s durable and looks good.
I am very disappointed with the paint job on this toy. On mine, there is a big blob of red paint in the middle of the part of the helmet that should be all gold, and another splash of misplaced red across a gold portion of his knee. One of the thin black lines around his eye also went astray and ended up across his cheek instead. Very shabby quality control on the part of Hasbro.
I loved the Iron Man Movie, so much in fact that i saw it twice. When i found out that toys would be released, i kneew i just had to have one. Iron Man has been a favorite of mine in the Marvel World, but the action figure doesn’t quite cut it.
Okay, so here are the up’s: The overall stance, color, look, and points of articulation are all nice. I mean, he looks like he came right out of the movie. I don’t play with him as much as i just pose him. And the little blaster cannon was a nice touch, and shot the projectile clear across the room!
Now, the disappointments. When i opened it, both of his red shoulder pads flew off and my wife had to help me find them AND put them back on. I wanted to glue them so they’d stay, but i don’t want to damage the toy. Also, his right hand is at an angle to where i can’t turn it correctly, and i didn’t want to break it (He’s a little rigid), and the head doesn’t even move, but the torso does (wierd). the paint job was nice, just a little soppy and not even, but from a distance, you could hardly tell.
Overall, I gave it 4 stars. It’s a must have for any collector of Marvel Movies or graphic novel readers, but I wouldn’t but it for a 10 tear old as just another “toy”, definitely for collectors.
Paint job is terrible. Hasbro is slowly but surely not monitoring quality control for its toys anymore. There is really bad paint mixing, paint overspray and dried paint drip-wipe. Awful ! IT made my skin crawl. I thought it was handpainted by preschool kids.
According to Amazon’s star rating system, 5 stars means “I love it,” and I do, so I had to go with the full five stars, though that does not mean this toy will please everyone, and even I wouldn’t have minded a few changes.
To look at it, I never would have guessed that the head doesn’t move at all (at least, I can’t get it to, and I don’t want to break it or scratch the paint trying). The figure has many other great points of articulation though (ankles, knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, upper body, wrists), and if you get one with a good paint job (which is why I prefer to buy figures in person; I searched through a ton of these at the one store that still had any before I settled on one), it just looks fantastic. The removable, arm mounted cannon is the usual unwanted extra. I mean, I’d have preferred some attachments to make him look like he’s flying or blasting from his hands. Still, packing the cannon away in a storage box of action figure accessories I don’t really need, what is left is an awesome display piece for those of us trying to build up a movie-based Marvel collection who don’t intend to actually play with it. Haven’t had the problem of armor popping off, but as I said, I bought this mainly for display with my other Marvel movie figures (Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Wolverine, Rogue, and a 9 inch Hulk; I know, I still need to get the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and a ton of X-Men, but I committed to this collection rather late in the game), not for playing. I haven’t tried many poses because I don’t want to damage it at all. I will say that the wrists look very delicate to me and are my primary concern when it comes to over-handling, along with the paint. Since he doesn’t have attachments to make him effectively look like he’s flying though, all I really need him to do is stand there and look pretty, and he does that beautifully, like he stepped right out of the film. If you’re looking for a basic Iron Man figure from the film, this Mark 03 version is the one to get.
