Iron Man 2 Figures Unboxing Mark 1, Mark VI, Power Assault

March 15, 2010

About a week ago, I posted about my latest geek acquisition. I know the spending will bite me in the ass sooner rather than later, but hey, very seldom do I splurge these days. I can honestly say that each figure from this line is well worth the 450 bucks. Okay, they could be a little cheaper, but they are made of awesome and happiness.

In this post, I will show you how unboxing pictures of the Mark I, Mark VI and Power Assault armor, without the actual unboxing, because that would take up too much space with too many pictures. The order at which I do is the order with which I released them from their plastic cages. Mel helped me take pics and unbox.

MARK I

The Mark I is a really nice figure because you can’t fuck up the paint on this thing. You can ask a child with a minor learning disability to paint this thing and it will still look like Mark I.

 It slipped out of the packaging quite easily. Well, they all did, in fact.

Mark I came with what I think should be a flamethrower, but it actually is just a cannon with a fire-colored missle. Same thing happened with the 6″ one. They should come out with a way to attach a Zippo on one of those things. I especially liked those armor cards because you can mix and match them with other figures. You can came up with some weird shit. Try putting the classic stealth arms with Mark III legs with Mark I’s body. It is a freak.

All the joints on Mark I were tight except for the wrists, which I really didn’t mind so much. At least they didn’t feel like they were going to break if you forced them to move. The bits that needed to be tight were, and the rest were moveable and fun to play with. It’s got shoulder, elbow, wrist twist, some torso twist, ball joint hips, twist head, peg feet and single jointed knees.

Mark I has incredible detail. I mean it. It has some of the best and most intricate detailing on all the figs from this line. The motor at the back, the things over the arm, the big chest plate, up the gears at his side - they’re all there. It’s a beautiful figure.

Mark I can swing his gigantic orange dildo machine all day.

Here it is with the flame thrower, which surprisingly doesn’t look half bad. It still looks cooler without it, though. Check it out.

Mark I says, “I will punch you… IN THE FEZ!”
