Pretty sweet!!!
I absolutely love the movie. This iron man armor is never seen in the movie but it is still really cool. The only one major complaint I have against these cool figures is there paint applications. C'mon Hasbro you have been around long enough, made billions of dollars you should be able to make better quallity painted action figures. I found mine at Target well before the actual release of the film in theaters. I litterally sifted through a dozen of this same iron man before finding one that had a decent paint job. All of the others looked appauling. That is the only reason I didn't give this figure a 5 star rating. Other than that these iron man figures are awesome. I love this one ( red and silver ) because one of my favorite armors is the " silver centurion " armor.

Hasbro learns to make a great Marvel action figure.
Hasbro has had it's ups and downs with the Marvel license in 2007. Either it's not having an equal distribution everywhere (Marvel Legends Series 2/3, Marvel Legends Fantastic Four Series/Spiderman 3 Series) or screwing up an entire line of figures in an attempt to be more kid friendly (Spiderman 3 movie figures). Their only ups seem to be improved sculpts but at the cost of articulation on some figures (single jointed knees and elbows).

But it's a new year now. Hasbro has two major Marvel films to deal and with a chance to renew themselves in the eyes of fans: Hulk 2k8 and Iron Man. The Iron Man figures are first out the gate and Hasbro made a deal with Target and Wal-Mart to release exclusives respective of the store. Target got an Iron Man armor most befitting. The Silver Centurion. I don't know the history behind this armor but it's been very popular in figure form. It is not featured in the movie however. This is only for the toy line. This color scheme (red/silver) almost matches the Target color scheme of red and white. The paint has a delicious metallic sheen to it. Not too loud but shiny enough to look metallic. I would like to note that you are best picking these up in the store. The paint jobs can and will vary on these figures.

It's the same as the Mark III armor only painted different. So if you read a review on that figure, the same applies here. The articulation is what you'd expect from Toy Biz. Hasbro went with Toy Biz style articulation and included the double jointed knees and elbows, ball jointed shoulders and hips, mid-chest joint (works beautifully!), ball jointed neck (head sits on a ball so it can be removed), and ball jointed ankles basically. Only thing it's missing is an ankle tilt but it still works well. Also the wrist articulation is really great going forward but you can't pull the hand all the way back for that perfect Iron Man repulsor blast pose. I'm sure a little modding is all you need to fix that.

The figure also comes with matching snap-on arm cannon. It shoots pretty hard so don't go aiming at the eyes kids!

Since basically all the Iron Man figures are the same, this review could apply to all of them. This new line of figures from Hasbro are top notch. They look like they came right out of the new movie and you can pose them like they did as well. Go Bro'.
