Have no idea. I think it's all about those dumb licensors

looks great imo. I will def PO this because I missed out on the first one.
My Turn!

Erm, no...this head sculpt actually looks like RDJ, unlike the sculpt for the 1.0. That head had a quaintness to it, but it was hardly a stellar likeness. I think this release looks fantastic - when's the PO???

another great clip as reference as well.

When do you think SSC will put this up for order?
Next Thursday with the newsletter?
I'm hoping so!

The headsculpt, flame accessory, and some kind of working action with the missile launcher are new. Otherwise he looks pretty much the same to me as the one that I have. However, I'm not as discerning to minor differences in the armor paint as other collectors might be, so that looks the same to me.

Coolbeans. Thanks for the info. Will have to think long and hard about this one. Maybe just PO from SS or BBTS so i dont have to worry about a cancelation fee. Taking a quick look at the old mark I in Michael Crawford's review and the sculpt is a real improvement. Also noticed in his "where to buy" and showed that SS had him for $170. Don't think we'll get that lucky but I hope it's not too expensive. Maybe $200?? Or is that just wishful thinking?

I'm sorry you don't see it, but this may be their best RDJ yet.

I think $200-$215 will be about right. Black Spidey and Red Skull just listed for $200. Spidey is a pretty simple figure with minimal accessories, but comes with an extra Peter Parker head and a huge Sandman display base. Red Skull has limited accessories but very detailed outfit pieces and two heads. With the exception of the flame, the Tony Stark head sculpt, and the somewhat fancy base, this is a straight up repaint/re-release. There really isn't anything to justify a huge mark-up beyond the recent price hike HT has just had for their basic MMS figures...

Will see. For now it looks just slightly better than the one from MechTest version.

Bring it on.

No need to 'fix' my posts, I write what I mean. Feel free to mod your Mark I with the head from the Mark IV, whatever floats yer boat. For me, this head works fine.

You're on the Internet - humble yourself and relax if you don't understand something
Or at least learn to understand by searching for the answers to the questions you've encountered.

New sculpt's definitely better than MkI 1.0 but MkIV beats it accuracy wise, no doubt

New sculpt needs to look more famished and dirtier. The iris is again too small like previous RDJ's

and it's really a bummer they didnt include 2 fire blasts for the Fireman/My Turn scene
