Never noticed the eyes were so big on that mask on the proto pics. Too late to moan now.

Thanks for the summary, Rorywan! It is strange that HT is going back to the rubber joints...

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

The MkVI elbow joints were great IMO

 

[Intruder04]

Thanks for the quick review Rorywan. Now I want a box of gummi exclusive hologram Ironmans'. Om nom nom.

Mark VII on left

What the .......?

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

no one has posted pics of the older helmets next to the new one...

 

[guy66657]

Hmm you think anyone can mod the faceplate to give it the correct eye proportions?

 

[IXI Nick IXI]

That shouldnt be a problem, it would be the color matching

I will later, if work permits...

How about adding a piece of plastic behind to reduce the size of the eyes from inside?

 

[chewdeezy]

Looks like this will be staying off without batteries, thanks for the review.

 

[Centrocal]

so you can't just switch the faceplate on the helmet ?

yeah but that will only impact the light coming through, the eye will still be huge

I dont know how this happened the eyes look so bad and HT had the 3d rendering to work from, how could the head turn out so bad?

 

[Cyberseven]

I am still waiting on mine, but I have an idea that will at least fix the fact of seeing through the faceplate eye sockets to the inside light emitter. I will either lightly sand or paint the faceplate eyes from the back of the faceplate so that they have a frosted look that will still allow light through, but make the eyes illuminate evenly.

I have some other ideas on fixing the eye size, but will have to wait until I have this figure in hand to decide how I might do it.

Beautiful, if you could eat it:

A pretty good black and white review Rory.

I am sure someone will come up with a custom helmet.

I might look at trying to do something about it on my end as well, but like you, I'll need to wait until I get the figure in-hand, but...

I am sure someone will come up with a custom helmet.

... chances are, someone else will beat me to it, mass produce it, and sell it, and I'll probably gobble it up as well.

here you go VI and VII..

woah that mouth on the 7, geeze

I can actually live with the head (you can always stick an entire Mark VI head onto this figure pretty easily).

What I absolutely find unacceptable though are these large sections of incredibly soft rubber on the elbows, they look awful, but it's the longevity that I would worry about.
It's the softest rubber I've seen HT use on a IM figure.

They did a very poor job with this Rory. Makes the figure look like a plastic toy. Going to have to bend the arms in poses to make it look ok.

If you look at the real suit there is a larger gold piece that extends up through the elbow which asthetically would have looked much better and hid the joint there.

I think Play Imaginative Mark VII got that piece right which makes the arms look more rounded and full.
