So while everyone's checking out the new Mark 4 War Machine, I finally got around to getting a minor grail of mine that I've wanted for years but slept on, the Mk1 War Machine. Found it at an ok price at Solaris, especially considering even domestic used prices were getting crazy. I figure a rerelease is inevitable now that I finally bought this, but considering it'd probably be a P-Bandai exclusive a year or more from now I figure the late tax isn't too bad.
Its held up very nicely, albeit a bit floppy in some spots but nothing that will fall down if you handle it right. He's surprisingly big for an older figuarts, though he feels not quite in scale with the newer stuff(not that the Mk 1 is taller than your average IM suit, but the other SHF Iron Man figures I own are notably a millimeter or three taller. still, its my favorite WM Armor so far, having a nice bulk to it most of the later suits lack. The Mk II is forgettable, the III is ok but wasn't super impressed by it, the IV is actually really cool though and I'm considering it. The Endgame armor(apparently the VI because the V was scrapped) is another forgettable one to me, while the VII/Iron Patriot II has a cool bulky design but I'm not feeling the final colors at all.
