Hot Toys Mark 4 Ironman (Stealth Ver.)

Update!

What we got here is a Hot Toy's Ironman Mark 4. Now, this fella actually came to me in quite a bad shape. Seriously bad. It was actually bought by my friend (third hand) for quite a good price. Why? It was already repainted. By someone else which my friend bought it from. I'm not sure what that person was thinking, but it was bad. You can have a look at how bad it was here:

So to me, it wasn't just a repaint job...but also an act of mercy in fixing and refurbishing this awesome figure back to it's pristine look. Originally my friend wanted me to do it up back to it's original form, but I suggested might as well smack in a new paint scheme. We discussed and came up with the stealth color scheme. I gave him some color suggestions and he finally chose one. Which is the one that is show right here:

I was really happy with the outcome and I think my client went home happy with this fella. It was a challenge and a treat to be able fix up this guy and give him a paint job that he deserved.

Till next time!

Update!

Okay, my previous posting was on the Mark II. Now make way for the Iron Monger! Alrite, when I first got him...well...I was ecstatic about it, until I tried to pose him...yeah...

His right leg was joined to his hip to create the smashing gimmick (which I personally think is dumb...). Not only it limited his poseability, he can't do anything! So I took it upon myself to get rid of that gimmick and give him the right to pose!

Well, the solution is putting in ball joints. I had to cut the joints connecting it and replace it with new joints. It was pretty tedious and any mistakes can cause me a figure. With a little putty and a brand new ball joint courtesy of Kotobukiya aftermarket modelling parts, he came out good. A little detailing and a new paint job, he was done.

There you go. It was one helluva time kitbashing this fella and now I feel much better owning him.

Cheeriosos!
