Yey! Just finished setting up my full figure review of the Ironman Mark V by Hot Toys. Sorry for the late update specially in the figure review department -_- Was really busy with work this past few months (as always). Enough excuses and let’s take a look at this very magnificent figure rendition of the Mark V armor from the 2nd Ironman film.

When the feature trailer of the 2nd Ironman movie was announced, the last scene was the one that made the whole trailer awesome. It gave us a glimpse of the classic suitcase armor that Tony Stark is using in the comic books. The moment I saw that part of the film, I’m still unsure if Hot Toys will create a figure rendition of that armor. A couple of weeks after the 2nd Ironman film, HT rolled out their updated Ironman 2 figures. These includes the Mark IV, Mark VI, and the highly anticipated Warmachine. But one figure rendition is missing in their press release at that time, and yes, it’s the Mark V suitcase armor.

All hope is lost for figure collectors who wants the Mark V to be transformed into a detailed action figure. Fortunately, HT listened to their fans and they’ve rolled out the prototype shots of the actual Mark V figure. I was floored the moment I saw the figure. The details were incredible. It’s a no brainer for figure collectors like me and I instantly hit the preorder button.

I already have this figure for a few months now so this review is kinda overdue :P But yeah, as always, this blog of mine is about sharing my figure collection to the whole world through imagery. Enough talk and let’s take a look at the figure!

Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (65)
This is I think the most coolest Ironman figure released so far by Hot Toys.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (64)
As with any previous Ironman figures. It features LED lighting for the Chest (Arc Reactor), the eyes, and both of the figure’s palms (repulsors).
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (63)
I forgot to switch the palm lights on in this shot. But yeah, it lights up!
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (62)
Overall sculpt of the figure is just AMAZING!
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (61)
The level of detail in this figure is incredible due to the armor’s design.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (60)
In the film, the armor was composed of a LOT of moving parts and that is pretty evident in this figure.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (59)
The figure really shows the technicality of the Mark V suit and you can basically see how the armor is formed from the suitcase.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (58)
Every single detail of the armor was accurately sculpted into this magnificent figure. And yes, screws included.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (57)
Articulation is ok though I’m really not a fan playing with the figure’s numerous articulation. I’m kinda scared of breaking  a 200+USD figure in the process.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (56)
I really enjoyed shooting this figure. It contains a lot interesting parts and details.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (55)
You will really appreciate the quality of the figure through high quality images like these. I lost count of the times a repeatedly browse these images in my computer. Figure is just magnificent to look at.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (54)
Figure comes with a lot of replacement parts. Specifically the battle damaged version.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (53)
Like previous Ironman 2 figures released by HT. This figure also has the very same articulation system on its torso.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (52)
The torso is composed of individual “plates” that adjusts seamlessly based on its position. Pretty nifty.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (51)
Don’t overdo it though to avoid breaking something inside.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (50)
Arms are well articulated too. Though I’m having a hard time replicating the pose where his arm is stretched ready to fire his repulsor beams. I tried it but it doesn’t look good.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (49)
One of the parts of the figure where I’m really impressed  is its arms.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (48)
I’ve been saying this for a while now but the details are just amazing! (wait for the shot where i focus the back part of his arm.)
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (47)
Legs are well articulated too, but I don’t really bother playing with the figure’s legs since I pretty much display it standing up.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (46)
Details on the legs are sculpted perfectly.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (45)
Figure come’s with the standard LED stand (yes, it lights up!) which is based on the “armor cabinet” that we saw in the first 2 films. This is where Tony Stark keeps most of his armor designs (and works as an armor display at the same time.)
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (44)
Most of the technical details of the armor can be found on the back since this is the place where the armor “snaps” together in place.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (43)
This is actually the first time I saw the hidden details of the figure, behind the camera lens.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (42)
The details are stunning and you will repeatedly ask yourself, “how the hell did they do that?”
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (41)
This is my favorite part. The intersection of the armor assembly at the back of the arms. More detailed macro shots later.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (40)
At the back is also the LED switch for the head which lights up the eyes.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (38)
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (37)
Head details are also top notch.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (36)
Unfortunately, the figure doesn’t include an optional head like the previous Ironman figures released by HT.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (35)
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (34)
The LED powered arc reactor. Switch can be found at the back. The placement of the LED switch was seamlessly integrated in the overall armor design which is great.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (33)
Chest armor can be replaced by a battle damaged version which I will show in later images.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (32)
HT did a great job in improving the torso’s articulation. The torso movement is more manageable than previous Ironman figures. It’s also less scary to play with.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (31)
Some detailed macro shots ahead.

LED powered repulsors. Forgot to switch it on in this shot.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (23)
This is where the counter measures pod is located. Unfortunately, this is just a static part of the figure. (Maybe because the Mark V is a slimmed down emergency version of the armor not designed in bigger battles.)
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (22)
Incredible details at the back of the arms.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (21)
How the hell did they do that?!?!

Let’s talk about the paint job. HT never fails in the paint job department and that is pretty evident in this figure.

The red + silver color combination of the armor makes it even more badass.

There are some paint bleeds here and there but nothing too serious that affects the overall quality of the figure.

Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (11)
Figure’s left arm can be replaced with this damaged version.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (10)
In the 2nd film, Tony Stark was attacked by Whiplash while participating in a race. The battle damaged parts included in the figure shows Tony’s blue racing suit underneath the damaged armor. Sick!
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (9)
Battle scars and damage details looks incredible! Though I prefer to display the Mark V undamaged.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (8)
The battled damaged left arm is also LED powered. You can clearly see the LED light switch in this image.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (7)
Chest piece of the Mark V armor can also be replaced by a battle damaged version.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (6)

Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (5)
And yes, the Suitcase is also included with Happy’s handcuffs of course!
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (4)
Like the figure, the suitcase also has incredible details.
Review | Hot Toys: Ironman Mark V (3)
A closer look at the details of the suitcase.

This figure contains an impressive amount of detail that a single review isn’t enough. HT really did a great job in transforming the Mark V armor into a high quality detailed figure. I really hate reviewing “mechanical” figures because of the amount of work and time needed to cover all of its features, but I really enjoyed reviewing this one. So far, of all the Ironman figures I currently have, this one is my favorite.

If you still have the chance to get this figure at a reasonable price, now is the time to make your move and purchase one yourself. The value of this figure is constantly increasing so grab that opportunity while you can. You won’t regret this purchase. This is a must have figure for all Ironman fans out there, specially fans of the film.

I hope you enjoyed this figure review ^_^ Next review coming up so stay tuned!
