When I first saw the prelim sculpt months ago, I was really excited about this release. It looked highly detailed, especially the facial sculpt for Don Cheadle. I just picked it up at Borders (broke down and couldn't wait for my Amazon pre-order, which kept on getting delayed), and while it does look cool, there are some serious flaws that keep it from being exceptional. First off, the head sculpt is just as cool as the previews lead you to believe. It looks amazingly lifelike, and the mask fits snugly both on top of his head to reveal his face, and over his face, so there is no real chance of accidentally losing it in either position. Overall it does look pretty cool, but after having bought the 4 inch Hasbro figure, I did find a few things lacking. First of all, the eyes are done in red, to match the movie War Machine, but the chest and hand pieces are done in blue, like Iron Man. If you are going to go with one color, stick with it all around. Either make everything red or...Read more

I was very unimpressed with this Action Figure/statue. It's very poorly made and it had numerous flaws. When I took it out of the box, the face plate had scratches that made the figure look trashy. It has extremely limited movement and when I was adjusting the legs, the right leg actually BROKE OFF COMPLETELY! I do not recommend this item at all!

I'm with the other reviewer who went into detail about the color matching, and the articulation.
This is a decent figure, and for my 7 year old fits the bill, but a few more touches would've given it 5 stars in my opinion.
As others mention, the articulation leaves something to be desired. The gun off the shoulder is in two pieces, the hinge part that actually snaps into the shoulder piece, and the gun barrel itself. The gun barrel itself is NOT an actual joint, it's simply got a male end that pushes into a female hole on the part that goes into the shoulder. So it will turn left and right, but it's not going to stay there, moving it around will eventually make it pop out of that hole again. Also, there is no way to get it to point straight up, so a child can play as if it's flying and trying to shoot the person "in front" of it.
Colors are off, and the shoulder and hip joints are just really a pain sometimes to move - can't seem to get the arms to...Read more
