It's close, but no cigar.
Like the war machine one, it's done well, is durable. Faceplate not hinged to slide but just pegs to position open or closed, and as others have mentioned there is some painting detail missing.

While it articulates pretty well, my son has a problem with the shoulder and hip movement, just can't quite get the arms to actually parallel the body.

Shoulder armor pieces come off regularly during play but are easy to put back in, just a ball that snaps into a slightly undersized hole to hold it in place.

Some reviewers mention that this is for collecting only, not really for play, but I actually look at it as the opposite. I think it's fine for play, the lack of detail to me would make it something I actually would NOT want for collecting.

Good size though for my 7 year old son, who enjoys it immensely.

This is another great figure from Marvel Select or Diamond Select toys whatever they are calling themselves nowdays...The figure sculpts are outstanding just like the Battlestar Galactica figures that came out earlier in the year. The face sculpts are pretty good for a figure of this size. My Iron Man figure really resembled Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark.. The paint scheme was also very well done. Great metalic red and gold! My only gripe about this figure was the lack of painted eyes on the face mask? What happened? The War Machine figure didn't suffer from non painted eyes? Come on...where's the quallity control? Now you have to open the figure that was not meant to be opened in the first place in order to paint the eyes yourself....ARRGH!!!!! Would have been 5 stars had the eyes been painted. As for the other reveiew that stated the mask would not close. the head has two sets of peg holes, you need to fully remove the mask from the open position, very carefully and reinsert the mask into the lower set of holes to put the mask in the down position. very easy. Looks great, except for the non painted eyes!

There are a couple of things that should be mentioned: 1.) this is not a toy. It is a collectible action figure. 2.) the figure can be displayed with the faceplate closed. The faceplate is attached to the helmet by two pegs. It is a tight fit, but it can be removed. 3.) for some inexcusable reason, the manufacturer did not paint the eyes on the faceplate. So if you want the eyes in the "off" or "activated" mode, you got to paint them yourself. For the price you pay, you would expect the manufacturer to do it. Should you decide to take the challenge, I recommend Testors Model Master Acrylic Paints and a lot of patience.

Overall, I like the figure. The metallic paints (red & gold) make it really stand out compared to the 4" and 6" figures available (this particular one stands about 7" tall). It is solidly built, it is not a lightweight figure.

Otra figura para mi colección personal, lastima que la misma venia al parecer de fabrica con un pequeño detalle de pintura en una de las piernas, de lo demás estoy satisfecho con el producto.

This is a really good Iron Man figure. It's the Mark VI version and is very detailed. It stands very well on its own without the base, which is how I have it displayed next to my computer monitor. The hands are easily interchanged. The upper torso moves independently from the lower torso. The hips have a little movement and the knees have full range of motion. The arms also have full range of motion. A surprising extra is the ailerons on his back. They look more like wings that hinge outward, but still a nice touch. One small disappointment due to the difficulty of manufacturing small replicas: the stripes on his thighs are not red. But an extremely fine tip red marker can take care of that. It's a fine piece for true fans and deserves my excellent rating.

My son loves this toy but it broke a week after we got it, the foot just suddenly broke off !!! We have super glued it so lets see how long it lasts !!!

This is a good figure. Don't plan on having it as an actual toy. This is just a collectable figure.

THIS PRODUCT IS VERY DURABLE INCLUDING FUN. I Recommend this item to a friend this action figure has highly detailed base and highly detailed suit of armor if you like action figures i recommend this

This is a well made figure, as are all of the Marvel Select line, but watch out. The War Machine figure's mask goes on and comes off, but this one does not. You either get the mask on, or the mask slid up to reveal the face. I got the mask up because I thought it slid down, but it doesn't. If that is a deal breaker, now you know.

I want to be removed from your company ,im so mad you have no idea how made I am,why would i order 2 of the same thing call and ask you 2 time this is with the mask down and you guys said yes .I will never take to you people ever again
