I feel like I will never use the table though to be more on topic.
After drooling over pictures for so long, I've finally made the last payment and have received a shipping notification. This will be my second Iron Man, the Mark I 2.0 was the first. I've also got a camera coming in the mail, as well as 89' Joker. This is going to be a great week!

Looks like the Sideshow Exclusive version is back in stock. Guess its time to finally bite and pick this figure up!

Good choice. You'll be happy with this figure.

Though my Mk.VI is the one I generally take pictures of, I find myself fiddling with the Mk.II AU the most. Probably because of all the removable armor parts. I always display him with the empty helmet, so sometimes he's a person in armor in my display case, sometimes he's just a limp suit of armor.

I hear ya. It certainly lends itself to that. 
So many posing options with this which is how I wish all figures were. After all, if we wanted a statue, we would have bought one.

Welp, looks like I missed the Exclusive version waiting on my reward points to roll over again, but still $160 shipped for the normal version is definitely worth it. Now to find the hologram gauntlet for less than $90 on eBay lol.
Quite a bit late, but I finally got this figure. Here's a couple of pictures if you all don't mind...

Wow, very nice pics. Do you mind posting your set up for the whole black setting you have? I can't seem to get how to achieve that.
Sure, here you go...

It's a lightbox made out of foam poster board and duct tape. Of course, the cloth panels to allow light through. I use a professional flash with a softbox attached. I have used desk lamps before and they work fairly well, as long as they are bright enough. The backdrop is just black poster board. The poster board ends up appearing grey in the pictures, so I do post processing in Adobe Lightroom and/or Photoshop. I imagine most photo editing software can do that though.
Edit: Oh and I forgot to say 'thanks' for the compliments, guys.

Very nice.
You have gotten incredibly professional results from a well built, homemade solution.
I will have to try something like that myself.
Thanks for the pics.
Very, very nice photos! Very professional!
Thank you, Viking!
Thank you. I chose to build this because the alternative was to pay about $60 for an actual lightbox. This cost me less than $10, minus the flash and camera part.
You are very welcome.
I have been thinking of doing something like that for some time.
I don't have an expensive camera, but it has a manual mode and i really should get my *** in gear and get a decent image stage set up.
Post more pics with figure in there!
Got pics of your setup?

Not at the moment. It's basically just a big black backdrop and I use different lights depending on what I want it to look like. I use halogens and LEDs mainly. I also have colored cellophane I use for ghetto gels to do stuff like this:

Since i don't have any white backdrop at the moment what I sometimes do is just WAY overlight the backdrop itself and underlight the subject. It's amazing how white you can make a black backdrop just with lighting.

Looks great. Next time you get a chance, take some pics of the setup outside the normal range just to give me an idea of what it looks like from afar.
