Awesome! I spent half the video staring at that piece

 

[averone]

Awesome! I spent half the video staring at that piece

I always like to include some easter eggs in my stuff. I just realized I didnt do a video on this yet! I will do so in the next week

 

[jye318]

After averone awesome photoshoot, no need for me to post thousand of pictures of mine...

So... how's the paint? Yes, it's not perfect... especially in the Silver painting. Some dark line or some détails that aren't perfect...
The MAIN issue with this one is the tone of the Gold. As mentionned before, it's NOT what we were expecting. When you compare it to the Hot Toys Power Pose, you can clearly see that HT nailed it for the color and NOT Iron Studios. The problem is that it's more yellowish that it would have to be... see next post for a comparison.

Overal, this statue looks really nice. YES, there are some minor and tiny flaws... but I can live with those... I don't want to repeat with Ric said, but the pose is EPIC... the lighting feature is WOW.... and it's 1/4 that is affordable!!!

THANKS RICARDO FOR HELPING US!!!
YOU ROCK!!!!



But, here's some pictures of the statue:

Now, a quick comparison between my Iron Man Mark XLII:

Iron Studios 1/4
Hot Toys Power Pose 1/6
Dragon Studios 1/12


And a last pic of my 1/4 Iron Man:

Iron Studios
Sideshow lame Chinese copy monkey2 base) (sorry if I offend anyone... I already explained why...)
Neca Action Figure (to have a Mark VII)

Your right about that, however I am not to not buy an IM just cause its a few shades off. Actually I have to say HT is not right on either, to get that exact color and shade, it has to be a car metal finished paint. Neither is exact but thats alright.

Great pics drum! Looks great with the other Iron man figures. Is that a recast Mark VI Maquette?

I think it's odd that they almost nailed the movie paint color in the proto but the production piece came out a few shades different.

Regardless, still looks great and will be awesome to display

Yes... yes it is...

As I said before:

I'm an IM fan and unfortunately, I wasn't around back in 2010 collecting stuff so I missed the original Sideshow Edition. So a few months back, I was browsing the web and noticed that the SS IM Maquette was selling for $1k-1.5k. Unfortunatley, no way I would pay that amount for a 1/4 so I've decided to go ahead and buy this fake mentionned earlier.
Yeah, I was truly aware it was a fake, but for 1/5 of the now selling price of the official maquette, I've got to say I'm satisfied.
I know you guys don't approve fakes and all, and trust me, if I would have been around in 2010, I would have def bought it back then to support SS.

Overal, I'm good with it, except the base that is TOTALLY off. The yellowish coloring of it is bad and that's pretty much the only downsize of it.
For the rest, the paint is OK (not great, but ok), the pose is pretty much the same, it lights up and it does a great job for its price. Please don't hate me...

But don't worry... that was my first... and only time... SS all the way now!!! LSF here I come!!!!
