Hot Toys The Origins Collection - 1/6th scale Iron Man Collectible Figure

Expanding on my previous post, I think the excessive amount of randomly applied detail on the gold limbs really hurts the figure when combined with the similar amount of detail on the torso, leading the whole figure to look kinda cluttered. If the limbs were much cleaner/the spots of detail were much much smaller and didn't overwhelm the overall gold limb look, it'd provide welcome contrast to and breathing room from the higher detail on the torso. I'd probably actually rather like the figure if that were the case.

id imagine the plastic shield looks good in a dim lighting, it would appear as if he has a glowing shield around him. but it really needs to be an optional display choice

For me, the problem isn't so much the clear plastic but the random spots of dark grey on the gold parts, they look too random and prevalent, and almost make it look like it's corroding, or decaying or something. Or, more charitably, like leopard spots, which still doesn't look good on this. I feel like there was a much better way to add that kind of detail without disrupting the overall look of the gold limb.

This figure would have been a much better release if they had just simply done something similar to thisstatue:

This is an impressive take on classic IM but boy, those plastic shields ruin it. I really don't understand that choice. Otherwise I really dig it. Fingers crossed we get a classic style Captain America, so long as they don't go too far with their redesign.

I think this line from Hot Toys is interesting

The clear parts on the shoulders, neck, abdomen, and waist/crotch/butt are not removable.
