2 MINUTE TOY BREAK !

Wrapping up my Iron Man haul today with his Mark III armor.The paint on these figures is so damn cool.There is an extra glossiness to it that other figures just don't have .It gives off a metallic vibe and rightfully so,this is Iron Man after all.   Here he is next to the Mark 6  armor.At a glance they seem to be pretty similar ,but upon closer inspection,the two are distinguishable. I finally got around to adding a Thor movie version to the collection so my Avengers Movie-verse is starting to shape up.I'm also waiting on a Civil War Falcon figure that should be arriving sometime next week.

I'm not the biggest fan of this armor but the silver with blue accents work well.You'll notice the little bolt heads painted into the chest sculpt,I am not a fan.They also kind of  overdid it and could have gotten away with just leaving his chest plate bare. The over sized blasters have also been overdone but I think they work well with Iron Man figures. I will say that this armor is much more poseable . 

I've overlooked this figure plenty of times before  in past toy reviews but have a newfound respect for it now that I have it in hand. This truly is a little work of art! The attention to detail on this movie version Mark 1 Iron Man armor is  impressive.All the visible   nuts ,bolts and working mechanisms on the suit  have been realistically  sculpted  into the armor.The weathering is  also executed perfectly .I also like the fact   that you can see parts of Stark's shirt and pants underneath his armored arm/leg plates. A removable helmet would have been an amazing touch.  The downfall on some of these more heavily armored Iron Man figures is their limited movement .You can still get them into a decent pose or two but they will be limited.In the film ,this particular version of Iron Man wasn't particularly  limber so I guess even with the limited mobility ,  you're getting movie accuracy.Easily a top 20 figure in my collection.

It's been a few years since the initial release of these Iron Man 2 movie series figures.Although Chris Mapp reported seeing them recently on the shelves of his local Wal Mart,I haven't seen them anywhere,except for eBay and online toy store  sites. The majority of these have been scalped up and are being resold on ...wait... ..I guess eBay doesn't apply. I can only assume that the only reason i got these so cheap was because of their packaging being all warped and bent out of shape.Water damage maybe?idk.Luckily the figures seem to be mint in package.  Taking a look at the figure out of the packaging.I like the stylish figure stand with insert-able armor cards.Always have.As for the figure?I like it alot more than i thought i would.I passed these up many times because 1)the internet was being pummeled with reviews on these Iron Man figures.So much so that it had a reverse effect on me,ultimately leading me to  not wanting to pick  the figure up at a

Tah dah!See,I told you nothing big.By now you guys have all probably seen millions of reviews for these figures because they've been out since what ,2009?I never got around to adding any of them to my collection and have regretted it for a long time.Originally I only set out to pick up the Mark VI but when I saw all of them together ,selling for about 4 bucks a piece ,I had to snag them up.I remember these being on clearance at one point,and even then I failed to pick any up.Sometimes ,you think something will be around long enough to grant you a second chance at It ,until you realize that no,that's not always the case.I'll be taking these out of their packaging and snapping pics of them these next couple of days ,so stay tuned!

Actually,front porch goodies.The package was too big for the mail slot.I'm pretty excited about this particular  item/items  because I was able to kill off a few birds with one stone.I got a good deal on this and hopefully I didn't get a bad batch of figures.They aren't new releases or what's hot out there today but I really needed them In my Marvel Universe collection.If you'd like to take a guess at what you think might be in the box  ,go right ahead in the comment section.
