YES! If nothing else then think how it looks if a team of your people did the 80th anniversary Iron Man, and another did War Machine. Do you wanna be on the team that did THIS? And you know, why didn't they give him pulse bolts ? So many lost opportunities...
Just got WM tonight from Dorkside Toys, was supposed to get him either tomorrow or Tuesday so it was a surprise to hear the doorbell ring & see a package on my doorstep. This figure is more awesome than the pics show. My only gripe is that I wish he had come with at least one repulsor hand for the left hand but that is something that I will rectify once I buy 2020 IM. And I found SCIM at my local Walgreens yesterday, so got both on back to back days!

Not only does he look straight out of the comics, they have his articulation on point! Pinless tech, accessories up the wazoo. Look...they didn't paint on the abdomen plates...they're molded on. Even though his fist is closed they gave him repulsors. They actually put RAILS on the torso for the twin shoulder mounted weapons THAT ROTATE 360!! His torso is wider than the red/gold Classic because of he wears the heavier bulkier weapons suite, as it should be. They should have used this mold for Silver Centurion because that suit itself is bulkier than the classic armor. There's no boot jet molding on the soles, but other than that its darn near perfect.
Anyone who's read my comments critiquing Hasbro for some of the things they do, and think i really go in on them- War Machine is why. Because this shows what they can do when they want. They've taken characters I don't really care for and never wanted an action figure of, and got me to buy them (She Hulk). They've taken characters I really like but botched the figure so much it makes me sad to look at them (Guardian, Black Widow). War Machine is a gem. When they want, they really do it right!

The figure looks great, but I don't want to pay Deluxe price for a standard figure
Again, love the comparison pics! Hard to believe I held that old Toy Biz Warmachine in high regard for so long. This is how you update an already great figure Hasbro, butNext to this new one that TB oneis really showing its age.
also love that U.S. Agent, even if that buck is too small for John Walker. This version is my The Captain stand in. Always feel this is the size cap should be but I have come around to the 80th anniversary version.
Cant wait for the Silver Centurion next, S.H.!!y neck joint and all. Ive come to a happy place with that figures flaw and am eagerly waiting to add him to my Armory. Still kinda bewildered that SC doesnt come with these awesome blasts effects.. may have to graban extra IM2020 so all my favorites can blast off together.
Awesome figure. Now we need a retro Rhodes head from when he sported the classic suit. ... maybe in the inevitable re-release of the 80th anniversary in classic colors.. one Tony head and one Rhodes head
Love this figure! Thanks for the flight stand tip!
I like the effects.
