amezriAfter work I went on a hunt for Iron Man toys. Yeah. Sick and sad, I know.
I finally found them in the Target near my house. Ended up buying both the Mark I and Mark III figures. I have to say that the Mark I is a way better figure in terms of joints that actually hold and a figure that actually stands without feeling like it's going to topple over. The Mark III is, honestly, kind of crappy. It looks fabulous on my shelf, but I don't think I'm going to really want to touch it again. The joints were all stuck together because of the paint job (which is lame and tacky) and no matter how I mess with the hip joints (also really weird) he stands kind of bow-legged and leans a bit. Plus, the joints are all sorts of loose.
Dear Takara: Please make a Microman Iron Man. kthanx.
To make up for this stunning disappointment with American mass market figures, I've preordered the Iron Man Minimates that are due out in August. I'm continually impressed with the articulation and the details that go in to such tiny figures. The flight suits on the BSG minimates, for instance, are just perfect.
