Iron Man 2 Figures Unboxing: Stealth and Mark III

Strap in, because this is going to be a long one. 

We’ve gone through the Mark I, II, IV, VI, the classic red and gold, and the Power Assault figs. Today we’ll go over the Stealth Ops armor, the Mark III, the First Appearance armor and the Hypervelocity. Okay, enough dilly dallying, let’s get started.

Stealth Ops

I forgot to take a shot that shows off all the contents of the package but it’s practically all there. A yellow dildo, a stand, the figure and the stand. There really isn’t much to this figure. It has the same sculpt as the classic red and gold, and it probably has less paint because it’s all blue, and it doesn’t have that blast off stand. So, what makes this figure so special? It’s fucking Stealth Ops armor.

However I reviewed the classic red and gold armor is the exact same thing I can say for the Stealth Ops armor, except for, of course, the paintjob. It’s all just dark blue. It’s almost purple, even. It’s really beautiful because it’s still shiny. I like the classic red and gold a little bit more, though.

Joints are pretty tight, and like the red and gold, they’re better than the movie sets of armor because they’re just a lot more poseable. The sculpt is great. Again, I’m a big fan of sculpted hands, so the figure looks great. Almost all of them have amazing detail.

The repulsor dildos look horrible, and they don’t really fit as well as I would like them to, but in some angles, they’re okay. I like how poseable these figures are. You can do a lot of things with them.

The only color you can really see are the eyes and mouth, the chest piece light and the repulsors on his palms.

Mark III

Probably the look that most people are familiar with because of the first movie, the Mark III action figure looks great. In fact, I think I like it better than the previous 6″ Mark III, because it’s a little bit beefier. Well, in relation to scale,of course.

It pissed me off, though, that after I removed the figure about the plastic, the fucking head stayed in the fucking packaging. Seriously!? I can take the goddamn head off so easily; it doesn’t even need much effort. Now, if I could get a Tony Stark head, the helmet would look great, but as it is, it’s a REMOVABLE FUCKING HEAD! Fucking hell. As long as I don’t touch it much, though, it’s okay.

The paint job on this thing is just okay. It’s not great, it’s not super clean, but it’s not bad. Know what’s bad? THE HEAD COMES OFF. Gah. The head that comes off has some sloppy gold paint where there shouldn’t be any gold paint.

Sculpt is just like the Mark II. The only difference is the crappy paint. Oh, and instead of a launcher, it comes with a fucking wifebeater tank top. 

The only thing remotely cool about that stupid shirt he can wear is the fact that something flips open to reveal… absolutely nothing. Maybeif it flipped out with a really cool motion, maybe it’d be tolerable. Nope. It’s squishy and flipfloppy. It’s horrible.

I’m not saying the Mark III is a bad figure. I’m saying that its paint could be much better, the accessories are more worthless than a fan on a windy day, and that I wish the head doesn’t come off as easily as it does. With all those complaints, the Mark III still is a solid figure, you just gotta lose the damn shirt.
