Product Description
Iron Man Movie Wave 01: Iron Man Mark III appears to boast an array of articulation similar to that of a Marvel Legends figure and is equipped with a missile launcher. The red and gold Mark III armor is much sleeker than the Mark I armor, the latter of which was a rough draft with a life-saving pacemaker that enabled Tony Stark to persevere against grave injury and capture in Afghanistan. The armor provides Tony Stark with vastly augmented strength, near-invulnerability, and an arsenal of advanced weaponry including missiles and repulsor blasts; with this version of Iron Man, the repulsor blast function is apparently externalized in the form of arm-mounted projectile-firing cannon. Its fully pose-able and articulated six inch scale action figure with accessories. Compatible in size with previous Marvel Legends releases.

 Paint job is lousy June 5, 2008
I am very disappointed with the paint job on this toy. On mine, there is a big blob of red paint in the middle of the part of the helmet that should be all gold, and another splash of misplaced red across a gold portion of his knee. One of the thin black lines around his eye also went astray and ended up across his cheek instead. Very shabby quality control on the part of Hasbro.
 Great movie, but an okay action figure. May 28, 2008
I loved the Iron Man Movie, so much in fact that i saw it twice. When i found out that toys would be released, i kneew i just had to have one. Iron Man has been a favorite of mine in the Marvel World, but the action figure doesn't quite cut it.
Okay, so here are the up's: The overall stance, color, look, and points of articulation are all nice. I mean, he looks like he came right out of the movie. I don't play with him as much as i just pose him. And the little blaster cannon was a nice touch, and shot the projectile clear across the room!
Now, the disappointments. When i opened it, both of his red shoulder pads flew off and my wife had to help me find them AND put them back on. I wanted to glue them so they'd stay, but i don't want to damage the toy. Also, his right hand is at an angle to where i can't turn it correctly, and i didn't want to break it (He's a little rigid), and the head doesn't even move, but the torso does (wierd). the paint job was nice, just a little soppy and not even, but from a distance, you could hardly tell.
Overall, I gave it 4 stars. It's a must have for any collector of Marvel Movies or graphic novel readers, but I wouldn't but it for a 10 tear old as just another "toy", definitely for collectors.
 ironman movie figurine May 19, 2008
Paint job is terrible. Hasbro is slowly but surely not monitoring quality control for its toys anymore. There is really bad paint mixing, paint overspray and dried paint drip-wipe. Awful ! IT made my skin crawl. I thought it was handpainted by preschool kids.
 Great for me, but probably not for everybody. May 13, 2008

According to Amazon's star rating system, 5 stars means "I love it," and I do, so I had to go with the full five stars, though that does not mean this toy will please everyone, and even I wouldn't have minded a few changes.
To look at it, I never would have guessed that the head doesn't move at all (at least, I can't get it to, and I don't want to break it or scratch the paint trying). The figure has many other great points of articulation though (ankles, knees, hips, elbows, shoulders, upper body, wrists), and if you get one with a good paint job (which is why I prefer to buy figures in person; I searched through a ton of these at the one store that still had any before I settled on one), it just looks fantastic. The removable, arm mounted cannon is the usual unwanted extra. I mean, I'd have preferred some attachments to make him look like he's flying or blasting from his hands. Still, packing the cannon away in a storage box of action figure accessories I don't really need, what is left is an awesome display piece for those of us trying to build up a movie-based Marvel collection who don't intend to actually play with it. Haven't had the problem of armor popping off, but as I said, I bought this mainly for display with my other Marvel movie figures (Spider-Man, Mary Jane, Wolverine, Rogue, and a 9 inch Hulk; I know, I still need to get the Fantastic Four, Silver Surfer, Daredevil, Ghost Rider, and a ton of X-Men, but I committed to this collection rather late in the game), not for playing. I haven't tried many poses because I don't want to damage it at all. I will say that the wrists look very delicate to me and are my primary concern when it comes to over-handling, along with the paint. Since he doesn't have attachments to make him effectively look like he's flying though, all I really need him to do is stand there and look pretty, and he does that beautifully, like he stepped right out of the film. If you're looking for a basic Iron Man figure from the film, this Mark 03 version is the one to get.
Lots of fun for my three year old May 10, 2008
This is my three year old son's first action figure, and I think it's a good one for him (even though the packaging says 4+). Overall it appears to be durable, although I will report back if he manages to mangle it after more usage data!
PROS:
1. great appearance
2. lots of movable joints
3. durable spring action 'gun'
4. You can actually get the figure to stand on its own, unlike every Barbie doll ever created (I have a daughter).
CONS:
1. Inexplicably, they included removable shoulder pads that are a joke - they won't stay on at all. Perhaps those are for the collectors who put Iron Man on display and don't actually play with the figure.
2. The legs have so many movable joints that they are awkward to adjust at times.
3. The pale blue 'bullet' for the gun easily blends into carpeting and furniture, prompting lots of searching by the parents! I solved this with a little paint - see the picture I posted.
I gave this toy 4 stars overall because of the shoulder pad thing. Otherwise so far so good on this action figure!
