I just had a minor heart attack when the retailer sent me an e-mail saying that this one was just posted for delivery. I mean, this is obviously a mistake. Or else I just slept for a whole year

I have no doubts this figure will look spot on once it is released in a years time

Ok, I totally agree that this thing is over-priced and will probably be a big paint chip nightmare but I don't see that the details are softer than the power pose figure. What am I missing? Any specific spots that stand out? Still not worth the money anyway.

and the stand alone movie HOA displays are one giant piece. it doesn't represent the suit worn by someone very well, just a nice backdrop.

If they bulk him up for the final release I'll buy. But I think thats unlikely considering most armors are too skinny

Yes for articulation sake. Wish they balanced it out more though.

I think the HT Mark XLII looks great, I glad they still remember they make figures and try to give the more articulation
Well hot toys mentioned something in an interview about proportions being difficult to do given that if you refer to the film the character is cg so the proportions are off. Even in the comics proportions are way off because the artist tend to distort them to make heroes have more presence. Most artist will use a proportion of a human that is 8 heads high or more compared to a regular human of 6 heads tall. Various parts such as the heads, hands, forearms, and calves are also enlarged and a shortening of the torso is also often done.
If you go purely buy the movies iron man always looks stumpy when it is a real person wearing a suit rather than a cg version flying through the air. I'm sure if we wanted to be really picky there can probably even be a ton of differences between the movie version and statues that are displayed at Disney or hysan place becauseim guessing that those are commissioned to be made just for the exhibitions.
So I guess when it comes to super heroes proportions are something to be taken with a grain of salt.

The HT is more poseable, sure, but its too skinny and is looking like the mark V's silhouette.
I want my mark 42 to be chunky and looks solid like the PI version.
the thigh armour is shorter compared to the real suit and PI's.
