Very nice figure; this is my first SH figuarts and I am really happy with it.The figure is very small, it is a 6 inch figure, made mostly of plastic. The paint job is gorgeous, and the colors very vibrant and realistic; you would think that it is all made of metal. There are die cast parts, like the feet and some joints I believe, but mostly it is plastic.Posability is good; maybe not as good as the figma figure, but this one does not have annoying flaps for the hand covers, so you can get a proper hand blast move without look too weird; also the hand cover is interchangeable, which means that you can change hand set and it will still cover correctly the top of the hand and wrist.Shoulders move up which help with arms movements; legs moves well; with good range of movements; the head has good mobility too, but it won't tilt up much, making hard to have good flight poses.In the box you will find also some effect parts to simulate flight or hand blast trademark move; the had parts attach via peg; the feet has holes to connect the effect parts, although they don't fit firmly, which results in them falling down easily.IF you don't want to spend 500 dollars for a Hot Toys figure, this one will be more than enough, for a sub 100 dollars figure.This figure from Bandai S.H. Figuarts is superb, really worth the money. Articulation is really good + the accessories you get is really neat.Articulation:Head - Ball Joint (rotate 360, up and down, left and right movement)Neck - Ball Joint (rotate 360, up and down, left and right movement)Upper Torso - Ball Joint (rotate 360, up and down, left and right movement)Abdomen - Ball Joint (rotate 360, up and down, left and right movement)Shoulders - Ball Joint (can extend to get more articulation, rotate 360, up and down, forward and back movement a little)Bicep - SwivelElbows - Double JointsWrists - Ball JointWrist Guards - Swivel (can be detached and reattached on the extra hands)Hips - Ball Joints (can be extended to provide more articulation, up and down, forwards and back, can kick to the side pretty high)Thigh - Ball Joints (can swivel and can also move like any other ball joints which is good to help in some poses)Knees - Double JointsAnkles - up and down movement, ankle rockers limited to inward movements only which really doesn't bother me.Toes - up and down movementAccessories - 3 sets of extra hands, 3 sets of propulsion effects.sorry about the flash in the photos, but those are just some of the articulation and poses you could do with the figure. You can really get him in a lot of poses, I'm just to lazy to post them all.The Bandai Tamashii Nations SH Figuarts Iron Man Mk 43 is a highly impressive figure indeed.Everything from the paint applications to the detailed and accurate sculpt make this action figure very impressive visually.But not only is this an amazing looking figure - the articulation takes Iron Man to a whole new level!This figure can hold any pose you put him in and with so many points of articulation - the only limit you have is your imagination!Figure is extremely well-balanced and has die-cast feet which help weigh it down so it doesn't topple over easily.All up - this is a beautiful figure.I had the choice of this or the Mk 45 but opted for the 43 as I love the paint job of this particular suit. Perfect blend of red, gold and silver and although figure is made of plastic - you would never guess when looking at him as the paint apps really appear metallic.So as far as paint apps, sculpt detail and articulation go - you're not likely to find any better in a 6" figure outside of the SH Figuarts series.Worth every penny!!!Even though this is a same version of Mark 42 although in a slightly different in colour, I enjoy this version more due to the red paint that makes the figure stand out. No doubt that this version of the armour (plus the Mark 45), is one of the most requested from the Age Of Ultron series. If either Mark 43 or Mark 45 has gotten your interest, then this will be one of the reasons why you should pick one up.As a few reviewers have stated, this is the most economical way of getting the scaled down version Hot Toys one.If anyone wants the Hulkbuster version, prepare to dig deeper into your pockets and hopefully that you can secure one into your hands.Quality is excellent. Nice weight. Good articulation scheme. Paint and finish are tight. Had one very minor QC issue...a loose rocker ankle. There's a gap between the legs and hips due to this particular articulation scheme that's unsightly; this can be hidden with considerable effort and creative posing. The head is a touch small to match the rest of the proportions. Still fantastic 1:12 figure overall, just don't overpay for it on the aftermarket as it does have a couple of flaws.Phenomenal figure, only the feet are die cast but it's painted like the whole figure is metal. Shoulder articulation is hindered by shoulder pads but the whole arm can be popped out a little bit for further clearance, same with leg articulation. The lines in the figure are incredibly detailed and straight even with the incredible coat of gloss unlike from what i've seen from the Revoltech series. One thing the Revoltech has over SH Figures is a shinier chrome in which this one seems like a basic silver finish which can blend in with the gold surrounding areas.Really nice figure. Probably my best one to date. A few critiques though. It has some elbow playing that is supposed to come off, but they are very easy to loose. Same goes for the hand plateing. Be very careful when posingDecent ironman figure. Paint job is ok except that numerous parts/hands are more of a pinkish color. Mobility is an issue as movement is limited due to the joints. Bought this after buying a Figma ironman. Mobility is amazing with the Figma model, but paint job was poor.Happy with purchase.great figure.Zunächst musste ich unheimlich lachen als ich die Figur auspackte. Als 30Jähriger mit so einem Spielzeug in der Hand, fühlte ich mich wieder in meine Kindheit zurückversetzt. Dieser Ironman sieht echt super aus und es macht Spass eine "coole" Pose für ihn zu finden. In meinem Schrank hat er jeden falls ein festes Plätzchen bekommen und wenn er (aus welchen Gründen auch immer) mal verrutscht, wird er sofort wieder gerade gerückt:). 5 Sterne!Amazon did a good job with the deliver, the figure came ahead of schedule for what seemed like a short wait anyway.As for the figure itself, Tamashi nations doesn't disappoint. The paint application is accelerant and very uniform throughout. The figure is well articulated which makes for some excellent pose ability. The die cast feet is a welcome addition as well.The accessories are few (which include 3 additional pairs of hands and flight effects) but relevant.My only gripe would be that Tamashi nations doesn't include a stand with the figureho tanti pezzi della bandai che non tradisce mai le aspettative, come questo ironman! anche se in materiale plastico è molto bello e dettagliatissimo. facilmente manovrabile e sicuro. ricco di accessori e alto il giusto per esporlo.
