 Great Figure with a few detractions May 10, 2008
Elak Swindell (Georgia USA)
After seeing the "Iron Man" movie (which is fantastic), as well as being a fan of the character, I had to snag one of these figures. It is beautifully detailed with 20 points of articulation. For a plastic figure, the metallic look is very nicely done. Of course, I would prefer to have one that is made of real metal and contains the same amount of articulation, but I don't think that's going to happen. Would be awesome nonetheless. There are a few negative point areas for the figure though. The main one concerns the shoulder armor. Both pop off way too easily, making it the first pieces to be lost by a child. Second, the hands can not be raised into a vertical position, like Stark is about to fire a repulsor blast. Third, the legs are difficult to position into a good pose for placing on a shelf (for those of us that like to display our figures). Other than that, I really like it. Except for the huge, stupid cannon that comes with it. Totally unneeded. Wasn't in the movie, don't need it with the figure. Lastly, you might want to search one of these out in the stores, if possible, instead of getting online. The reason being is that a lot have botched paint jobs, especially on the legs. I had to look at three before finding one that looked good all around. If you want a decent figure portrayal of Iron Man, the 7" is a good start. Otherwise, snag the 12" Repulsor-Power version.
 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 movie, but an okay action figure. May 28, 2008
Mister Dotson (Panama City beach, Fl)
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.
 Paint job is lousy June 5, 2008
J. Warren (Midwest, USA)
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.
Not as cool as the real Iron Man! October 10, 2008
Mason Prenevost (King's Canyon Nat'l Park, CA USA)
So it doesn't have as many movable limbs as you would think. Below average for what action figures are capable of today. I'd only recommend it to Iron Man fans and collectors. I'd also suggest to just buy it at Target, you get it right away, and it's cheaper. But it's durable and looks good.
