The Marvel Legends series have the best designed toys and articulatio, but the movie based marvel toys are decent, the legs and and arms move well but do not have as much freedom as you'd like, the shoulder pads on this toy fall off with the lightest touch, that said the toy is very durable, i didn't throw it but i dropped it down the stairs and paint is still on the arms and legs unaffected. overall a toy is a toy it's fun.

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.

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!

Like all action figures, the fragility is balanced with usability. Hasbro has gone with more durability on this edition like the GI Joe with the sacrifice of position like their Transformers.

The detail is sufficient for most kids, but collectors will have to look closely at the paint scheme because it can be spotty at times due to Hasbro pushing these out fast for the movie probably. The packaging is a lot nicer than the GI Joe and Transformers and would keep nicely as a collectible.

The fun factor is there no doubt. I like how multiple versions are being produced instead of just the final version.

This is a toy well worth the minor nuisances of the paint scheme and lower mobility of its joints. Loved the movie. Now the kids will love blowing apart their lego jets and transformers with their new hero.

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.

My grandson beheads all of his action figures this one has escaped that fate so it mus tbe special

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.

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.

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.

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.
