Avengers Iron Man Mark VII Life Sized Bust

Does it look like brushed metal to you in person...or does it look plasticky?

I don't have it yet buddy...these pics above are from those who have recieved theirs. However, judging from those pics aswell as past Iron Man busts released from Sideshow such as the MKII and III, it doesn't look like they've successfully recreated the brushed metallic effect on the faceplate...but then I was never expecting them to pull it off even back when I pre ordered this bust 2 and half years ago. It does come across a little plasticky in some pics but I think inhand the faceplate looks pretty much the same finish as the MKIII

I find myself utterly torn between my love for the Mk VII and that stick-on tap light on his chest. I only want one IM bust, so perhaps Mk 43 might be the winner post AoU.

We need a veteran to do a video review. I could only find 2 videos on you tube and I'm sorry but they were both horrible. Now I'm super stoked about this guy arriving.

I know the YouTube vids aren't necessarily 'veteran' quality but I am sure glad he posted them. I was good to at least see some video
If anyone else will post some high quality pics that would be great. And more YouTube vide 'horrible' or great I would be much appreciative.

Thanks for the info. I guess I was late to this thread and didn't see earlier pics.

Your welcome my friend let's hope for some new inhand pics very soon!

Where does the head piece sit in the box?

As the headpiece is removable it fits either underneath of the main body of in another compartment of the styrofoam I'd imagine it's just the one box so it's all in there

This looks pretty good lit up, but when it isn't it's a big turn off due to that chest rt.

Well the MK42 lifesize bust that Sideshow are making seems to be quite popular although a lot depends on their final paint apps...the inclusion of the shoulders however (which is a first for the Sideshow Iron Man busts) is a real nice touch

Yea, me too! Its been a long 2 and half year wait but it looks as though a few of us at least are reaching the finish line

Agreed.

Well, I finally (seriously, finally, it's been over 2 years) got mine today and took a few quick pictures for you guys.

First of all, this thing is HEAVY! By far the heaviest thing I ever got (collectible wise). Even moving it around takes some effort. Paint looks really good in this bust with the exception of the faceplate. It's such a lame, yellowish, dull color. It will definitely need to be altered... I might give a polish like that other guy did. The rest looks good, nice and glossy.

Overall this bust looks good in hand but I can't lie, I'm not blown away by it. I'm not sure if I'm let down because of the long wait, or because of it's the less than stellar finish. All I know is that bust this doesn't have the same appeal to me as the Mark III bust.

thanks for the pics and honest feedback. I have warmachine and am waiting to match him up...the hunt continues...

Massive congrats buddy! Really cool pics! The comparison with the MKIII definately shows its weaknesses, notably the faceplate. Think I prefer the colour of the MKIII faceplate. Looking at those two busts together makes me wish SSC had built an arc reactor for their MKIII bust

Wow! The MKIII gold does look much better.
Wax that faceplate up. Anyone brave enough to add a gloss coat? Why so dull SS?

What we've done with the Mark VII is make the new Iron Man, beautifully, Unapologetically Plastic.

Looks about on par with the $16 Walmart helmets

MKVII looks okay to be honest. The attachable ammo packs are very cool but the lack of neck detail, blue arc , and same dull paint job it doesn't make much if an improvement from the MKIII

The eye lenses contoured with the faceplate curve look better than the MK III. Dislike the flat, deeply mounted lenses on the MK III and a lot of other 1:1 helmets... doesn't look accurate at all.

That said in this example MK VII it looks like the eyes/eyeliner are crooked... tilted down on one side?
