Well I only built PGs... never a MG before.

Articulation I'm refering to overall all the action figures ... from Human truetype based to IM armors... it varies from figure types to figures (clothing restriction, design..etc). Each IM figure also has variable articulation levels because it's essentially a totally new exo-skeleton with every new armor, and not like Bandai where a few kits can share one common endo-skeleton.

Generally IM armors are limited in articulation .... the articulation points design tries to imitate the Male true type body as best they can, but lacks the full range at the elbows,hips and abdomen-torso. Neck and wrist are limited dues to the light up feature (almost no improvements after 8 armor [5 actual design variants] releases so far).

Knees/ankles/thighs/upper arm/shoulder joints are adequate.

Woah, start straight with PG, must be an expert kit builder notworthy.gif

Thanks for the helpful explanation. It's really hard to know the quality of the Iron Man Hot Toys since the closest one can get is looking at displays (without owning it) or watching YouTube videos. From your informative review and what I've NOT seen on YouTube, I'd say it's pretty much a display model, but with some level of articulation.

Great visual crack but for something above RM500, definitely gives me some second thoughts as to its' value for money. hmm.gif

I don't think it can. Have not seen one yet from collector pics with that pose. Only HT promo pics

Thanks for informing. I think for RM700++, that's a bit disappointing. Most probably I'll hold off until they come out with a figure with that level of articulation. Might have to wait for another 5-10 years, though... hmm.gif

Not hard enough, still got people can pay RM700-800 on action figure...

If really bad economy, food also cannot pay like during Great Depression in US 1930's... Now, global economy is not well, things could get ugly in the coming next 2 years.

going off topic abit.. but if you think HT are expensive... wait till u discover bandai DX Chogokin macross frontier figures (plus add on)

anyway these are luxury items for ppl with extra $ to spare...
if you like it and got the extra $$ just go ahead, no need for ppl to help you justify spending such money on it

Sorry ya blush.gif Just my own opinion based on my own financial situation. Just replying based on Jason's remarks on the economy. sweat.gif

I don't mean any disrespect to any collectors out there. After all, it's their business how they want to spend their money mar.... Supply and demand, we live in a capitalist economy smile.gif

Just wondering whether any acrylic top-coat like Future/Pledge on a brand new Iron Man "pants" would help prevent the pink panties issue.
