I'm staring at this thing over and over, *really* trying to convince myself to like or at least be okay with that clear shell because of how much I want a classic Iron Man HT fig, and just can't do it. Maybe a weird hill to die on considering this is just an art variant, but this might be the most frustrated I've ever been with HT. Normally if a HT figure looks good, I'm fine with film costume inaccuracies or the price going way up, and I finally just can't wrap my head around this one. So annoyingly close to being something I'd jump on in a heartbeat and yet still so far. It doesn't even feel good to shrug and say "oh well, money saved for the next one" because you can literally *see* the desirable version of this thing right there behind the plastic.
