Honestly, I do recommend you picking up this figure if you're a fan of the design. Although, like I said, this mold is ripe for repaints as the Pentagon Suit and the Iron Patriot so you may want to hold off if you prefer one of those more. I have a whole Hall of Armor at this point so I have no problem grabbing repaints of it. I do wonder what Hasbro is going to do for Iron Patirot, repaint this figure without the bits on the back or repaint the Extremis suit. The old RoML figure was a repaint of Extremis. The Model 20 is clearly a reference to pic related, much like the new Astonshing Wolverine is a direct reference (down to the masked head's face) to the ToyBiz figure, but they didn't use that mold for Norman. The new Model 20 though is more accurate to the Iron Patriot though.
