Good Day Comrades!

We already saw both reviews of Ironman Mark VI and Warmachine last week. This time, we will take a look at my 3rd HT figure which is the Ironman Mark IV. It is the successor of the Mark III suit from the previous film. It was developed 6 months prior to the events of the 2nd film.

There’s actually no major difference between the Mark IV and the Mark VI suit design when it comes to its overall look (Mark V is an exception here since it is a portable suit). The only noticeable upgrade of the Mark VI from the Mark IV is the triangular shaped arc reactor and some additional weapons. There’s also some minor updates with the Mark VI’s paint job which is not that noticeable unless your really look at both suits and compare.

The Mark IV suit has a lot of visual/articulation improvements that makes the previous Mark III HT release eat dust.

It now looks more aerodynamic with its technical curvature and the overall figure proportion looks right compared to the previous HT release of Ironman figures (small waist, big head, wide shoulders).

It has all the standard features of the suit such as the air flaps and leg thrusters.

It comes with replaceable parts and a light up mechanical base. No battle damaged armor replacements though.  It also comes with a near perfect head sculpt based on Rober Downey Jr’s image and a bonus donut box w/ a donut inside lols.

Same as the previous Ironman 2 figures by HT. All key parts of the suit are LED powered. So yeah, the chest, eyes and hand repulsors light up too.

Overall paint job is perfect. This is one of the strong points of any HT figures. You will really appreciate the technical details of the figure because it.
