This figure definitely catches you attention, even though it causes
pain on your wallet, a massive amount of pain ...the figure deserves attention on a massive scale.
Just couldn't let it pass away.
Hey, it's the IRON MONGER for pete'sake, been waiting for this sucker for a year and now its
here, it's wouldn't be fair to let it just pass from your palms and store it in your toy cab or
any place you wish to store it and let dust and cubwebs enjoy the damn thing...so hear
goes...
PACKAGING
A major upgrade done by HT on the packaging. Instead of the usual
thin walled plastic cushion, a robust styrofur enclosure is being used on this figure.
This helps to ensure the monger is well secured. The box dimension is at a whooping
15"X19"X6.5". It somehow dwarfs the standard HT packaging if the usual 12" figs. It
weighs approximately 2.5 kgs (i think) and the carton box comes with its own handle
for easy carry..
ACCESORIES
I guess this wasn't expected, accessories are just too few to mention.The Oadiah head
sculpt, a necklace for Obadiah, two detachable booster for the left and right leg and
supersized "ex-wife".
There are loads of instructions on how to "play" along with this figure. Just don't get too
excited and start to twist and manhandle the poor thing. There will be lots of movement and
articulation, just read the manual, it really helps.
If you claim it in the HT shop, It's noticeable that there are staffs on the shop with
a loose IRON MONGER figure. They will help to demonstrate the features of this massive
figure.
Now the Fun part starts..
We start with the back portion first. It really is an awesome sight to behold all
the ball joints, universal joints and "hydraulic cylinders". These things really works! Truly an
engineering marvel in itself!
The back plates on the back opens easily, the left part houses the missile launcher
which is very cool since it is retractable. In order to retract it, you have to open the
upper plate firstm there are joints to flip the plates, but just add some TLC (Tender
Loving Care) while opening these plates.
Be very careful when extracting the shoulder launcher from its hidden state.
It caused me 20 minutes to pull it off. When the launcher is extended it
tends to hit the horizontal cylinders directly above it. What i did was, i slightly
pull it towards me, just enough to free up the extendable launcher and slowly
pull it.
The missile can be inserted from the back of the launcher, this requires a force fit.
Again a dose of TLC wouldn't break anything. The launcher can be swiveled at a 360 degrees,
but when i did that, the part becomes too loose to rotate already, nevertheless it's still quite
good.
On the left compartment, open the plate and you can see the battery compartment
for the chest and eye LEDS.
CHEST PART
The chest part is a marvel in itself. Opening it would require 2 hands.
Slightly pull the plates, you can feel a counter force but no worries,
just slowly pull it downwards.
Once the plates are down, slighly pull the chest part (reactor) and slowly pull
it downwards, the whole circular part will go along with.
Once its down, you now open up the head part as shown the photo.
You can now install the necklace and headsculpt. Just make sure the head us properly
placed so that when you close the head enclosure of the suit, the head sculpt won't get
any scratches.
Closing the figure will be to lower the head part first.
Then the reactor and the side plates.
THE ARMS
The arms will each have their individual switches similar to that of the IRON MAN armors. The
right arms has the retractable chain gun and an LED. Both hands have the articulated robotic
fingers which is can practically grasp any 1/6th accesories.
Retractable Chain Gun
The left hand houses the mini rockets as well as a switch for the LED palm light.
THE FEET
The massive feet of this figure allows it to stand freely without the aide of any stand
from the usual HT releases. The flaps can be deployed easily by just opening the back
flaps.
Once it is deployed you can pull the flight stabilizers as shown, but careful on this part,
it comes easy to loosen.
At flight mode, the flaps are opened and you can then insert the boosters. Just insert the
guide pegs and your ready to fly..worry about the "icing problem" some other day lol.
A word of caution, the articulation on this figure is really awesome. just check when turning
the arms, make sure the joints are not interfering with each other. These mechanical joints
are made of plastic and surely will be easy to break if not handled carefully.
Personally, this might be the mother of all 1/6th as far as my personal
collection is concerned. Truly a must have figure especially, if you arean IRON MAN
completist. It doesn't get any better than this. This is as real as it gets...
Hope this helps...
God bless us all..To GOD be the glory...
