3.75" MU Extremis Iron Man Review

June 25, 2010

The latest shipment of Hammer Files toys came in today, and it looks like one of the better stocked figures is the Extremis. When I made this action figure review, it was still particularly rare and only a few figures were released here. I had to get mine from Singapore because as luck would have it, Mel, the girlfriend went on vacation there.

I made a video but before you watch it, please accept my apology for mispronouncing the words “Extremis” and “dossier.” I know better now. I shot this pretty early in the day so you’ll hear that cock crow over and over. I’m sorry about that, too. Here’s the video:

 

It is a wonderful, fantastic figure! The sculpt, the paint, the color - it’s really good. The articulation could use a little work, but all in all, it’s a solid figure.

I especially like how accurate the figure is. I mean, most Marvel figures are, but the Wave 1 Iron Man figure was hard to place. It had elements of Extremis, and people started calling it that, but it was obvious that it wasn’t the Extremis suit. The latest Iron Man figure, however, mirrors the comic look quite perfectly.

Wouldn’t you say that looks amazing? The detail is incredible. Every plate, from the helmet, to the neck, to the chest, to the back, to the ab plates, to the discs, to the contours in the thighs, to the boots even down to the toes. Everything is spot on.
