Just the lighting... The significant colour change is rubber parts which has significantly become duller over-time

Not really a sequel..... but leading to the next Marvel hero movie... and the Avengers

Any surprising addition/gimmicks/function to the Mk.4 armour not shown by HT's Mk. 4? or MK. 6

After credits.... spoiler

2x this year is was same day release as HK, usually a week or 2. up to more than a month for more in-demand figure like BD Mk.3

Mk. 4 ... wait till 3Q this year... I's expect 4Q, as always there's delay.

Mk.3 ver. 1... get 2nd hand from people that wants to get rid of it (or ebay).

BD Mk.3....Preorder it... expensive though.... You may wait a few months.

BD is a mostly whole new body... more pros than cons (compared to Mk.3 ver. 1).... My comparison review on XL-forum. Scroll down.... There's the Jeff Parker review on mwctoys as well...

The battle damage is just decals... there's the un-damage chest plate...

Like full head like Mk.3 ver.1 for the do-nut/nick fury scene...

Bargain from Amiami...The 2 swords are real metal too... Yulli sculpt....


Mini Review of HT's MMS116 - Mech Test, Tony Stark.

1. Chest Arc Reactor light are power by batteries in the upper torso, switch and batteries' cover are at the back. Neck is fixed, only left a double ball joint at the based of the head. (3 Batt., 4.5v)

2. LED of the hands are powered by batteries in "the controller box". Power wires are actually the blue colour ones. The blue wires actually goes through the black sleeves near the elbows and snake into the forearms to power LEDs at the end of the ball joint of the wrist.
(3 Batt., 4.5v)

3. Each foot actually has its own batteries and switch, poor articulation, the front of the foot (which hold the batteries) has some, the ankle side movement is solely depending on the ball joint, pins at the side holds the feet and limits the range of the side movement. Could have implemented better..
(2 Batt., 3.0v)

4. Mechanical arm/robot is fun... fire-hose is a separate unit, can be detached (contrary to what the instructions says)

Removal of Arm Exo-Frame
1. Split open the forearm exo-frame, moderate force maybe needed, as it depends on how well HT glue your copy, your experience would vary.
2. Peel back the long black sleeves, Double tape is used at the end of the wrist.
3. Two screws hold the fore arm close, Pull the blue wires into the exo-armour more so some working slack is allowed. Slide the upper arm exo-frame up towards the shoulders and twist it to the side so that the screw near the elbow can be exposed. Un-screw both screws. U should be able to remove the LED (together within the plastic ball wrist) and wires from the forearms.
4. The LED "casing" should be small enough to pass through the hole in the black long sleeves. Slide the entire arm exo-frame out. Remove everything as you'll do with a normal TT body.

p.s. the wrist ball joint are the same size for Mk.3, Mk.2, BD Mk3. so you can swap the hands

-Narrow shoulder TT with fixed neck (Arc Reactor) and modified forearms. Still retain double-joint elbows.


-The area where the wires for the LED comes in (hole in the sleeves) are painted black. There are no rubber plugs for all the screws holes that a normal TT would have.


-The cloths and exo-frame... The hole in the grey shirt is smaller (than the hole of the black shirt) and the edges of the hole is stuffed around the "arc reactor".


-Arc Reactor through fabric.. looks quite natural.

re-assemble... wires through the arms and sleeves.. would be difficult... I would reassemble the whole arm (+ exo-armour) before reattaching it to the body.

The arms cannot straighten like the ground punching pose...

BW..... Wrong material.. pleather should not be used .... but Lycra instead

One would expect Jill/Sarah Connor range...

Spray and some electro stinger/disc would be nice..

Tony Stark, RDJ, IM2: I want one.

Well Mk.2 was made into Warmachine(upgraded)... So in a way, Mk.2 (unmodified) no longer exist by the end of the movie .
