TAMASHII NATIONS Bandai S.H. Figuarts Iron Patriot Iron Man 3 Action Figure

I was a little reticent to pay the going rate for this figure, but with it being an import with no distribution in America, I decided it was a risk worth taking. Wow. Wow. Wow. Worth EVERY penny. The quality of this figure is just flat out amazing. All of the points of articulation are PERFECT. Not too tight, not too loose, and there are tons of them. You won't find a pose you can't get this figure into. Simply amazing. Four sets of hands, a shoulder mounted fully articulated canon, and fire effects that plug into the hands feet to stimulate repulsor blasts round out the accessories. My only gripe is the armor that connects to the hands can pop off a bit too easy. Other than that, simply incredible. I'm so impressed that I'm going to pick up the War Machine variant that's selling for over $100.

Ignore the 1 star review Idiot. Read his reviews and see his profile you will understand. This figure is absolutely stunning. I have all sh figuarts iron man figures. The paint and colors on this one make me so excited. Expect the usually quality you get with figuarts. No gripes. It's a beauty.

A great and fun toy. The item was as soon in pictures and is brand new. Definately an original and not bootleg. Only problem,is that the left side-flap,between the waist and legs broke off. And i barely moved the legs to pose. So be very careful on this figure. That said,it is very metallic looking and awesome,plus i do not reside in the states,so to return and ask for a new one would be too hassle. Still a little regret for the price i paid,and the flap broke off with minimal handling....a shame. another main reason i bought it is because at least this figure from bandai has nicer aesthetic looking joints. and not ball-like ones from revoltech. Plus,it definately can stand on it's own. still,it's worth getting for a 6" figure...

OMG!!!!!! He is to perfect. He feels so sturdy, and his pose-ability is top notch. i have him standing next to my Revoltech Mark 42 Ironman.

Growing up as a heavyset fair-skinned redheaded white boy in an all black home in a high-rise apartment complex in Mississippi was an enjoyable experience. It wasn't until my sweet seventeenth birthday at Popeye's Chicken (five generations of my family worked there so it was easier to hold birthday parties there) that I began to question the validity of my origins.The thing is, no one ever said anything to me about it. In a family of nine kids and Big Momma, everyone had their responsibilities and it always seemed to work out well. Having never seen my dad, I constructed some heroic image of what he would be like. He fell somewhere along the lines of Dirk Benedict from 'Battlestar Galactica' and Lee Majors from 'Fall Guy' and rechargeable hearing aid fame.Both, with brazen red hair.I was at my birthday party that a tall thin black man showed up at Popeye's. It wasn't until a few of my older siblings exclaimed "dad!!" that I really took notice of the man. Big Momma, always had a happy disposition, but I've never seen Big Momma so angry. Still being on shift, when she looked over from the kitchen and saw the man my siblings called "dad", she dropped the fresh biscuits from the oven, jumped over the counter with an ice cold jug of cane sugar iced tea and smashed it on the side of his face.That poor man did not stand a chance against her never before seen wraith.It was at that time, that I began to make the connection to my parental origins...or so I thought.The cops showed up and took the man away. As it turned out, he had a restraining order from all of us and went back to prison.Later that night, when everyone was asleep, Big Momma came into my bedroom after feeding my older brother dressed in her nightgown and sat on the edge of my bed. It was then that I learned of my true origins.As an infant, I was left on the loading dock at Popeye's chicken. Big Momma immediately took me in and raised me as one of her own. The man I saw today was pretty much out of the picture and spent most of the time in prison. He would when he did get out, she usually got pregnant. As to who exactly my actual parents were, it just was not as much of a concern anymore. Big Momma was the one who wanted and raised me and that is where I wanted to be.She held me close that night.Iron Patriot has always been one of my favorite comic book characters since seeing the movie ‘Iron Man2’. The message he sends to everyone, is that no matter what we look like on the outside, we all have or long to have a black man inside of us.I do like that the figure is a bit stylized in it bulk compared to the "real" movie counterpart, but in getting this action figure, I had hoped that it would of revealed that inner black man, but the mask does not come off.Much like my life, I am confused as to who I really am or what is really inside of me.

Highly detailed and good quality.

Thanks

When it arrived to me and I opened the box, the action figure turned out to be used not new! The body was covered with sticky paints.Word of advice, if it's used put it in the used section not the new section!
