Hot Toys Iron Man Mark II - Armor Unleashed Version !!! (PART 2)

The details on this figure is just excellent !! Absolute no regret in getting this masterpiece.

One nit pick that I would like to point out though is the left knee joint which tends to pop off easily whenever I try to fiddle with it. Other than that this figure is simply amazing !!

When I showed it to my wife for the first time...she was like... "WOWeeee....this thing is metal ??"
IF ONLY......I murmured to myself. But yeah...even though it feels like plastic it sure doesn't look like one !! It only proves the paint job on this bugger is top notch !!

You know...you can just stare at this figure forever....if you know what I mean !!

So here goes.....IRON MAN MARK II.....this time unleashed !!

Hot Toys Iron Man Mark II - Armor Unleashed Version !!! (PART 1)

Just when I thought Iron Man Mark IV (with Suit-Up Gantry) would be my first Hot Toys purchase, I actually got Mark II (Armor Unleashed) instead !!

Seriously I wasn't even (not even a wee bit) interested in getting the Mark II initially as it was an easy pass for me when local toy store was putting it up for pre-order. I was thinking .."what the hell do i need another iron man figure when i already pre-ordered a mark iv with suit up gantry?"

What appeared as a I-DON'T-WANT kind of thing soon evolve into a FRANTIC-DESPERATE-I-MUST HAVE-OR-I-WILL-DIE kind of situation !!
(...as usual it normally starts with an INNOCENT look on youtube review and that is when the poison starts kicking in... with immediate effect!! )

I hurriedly checked all local toy store for it and DAMNED... it is either those stock were for pre-order customer OR the prices were sky high. I was totally devastated.

Just when all hopes were lost....then came the AVENGERS....err.....nope I mean HLJ !! They came to my rescue when they sent an email with a catchy line......"They came beyond Japan"...

and the rest as they say is history.....suffice to say the price I purchased was slightly cheaper than local pre-order price level. (wuahahaha)

Looks like I better stop here and let the pictures do the TALKING !!

Note : Presently all shots taken by my Samsung Galaxy Note...sorry for the poor quality....until I lay my hands on one DSLR !!
