Hot Toys PPS Iron Man 3 Red Snapper Armor

It does look pretty cool, though can someone explain to me the difference between power pose and movie masters?

If I were to venture a guess, I'd assume Power Pose has more forcus on creating a solid self contained figure with moive accurate articulation vs a figure that comes with extra heads and accessories.

Mind you, that's just me completely speculating out of my butt.

As one who own's quite a few of the Movie Masterpiece Hot Toys Iron Man figures, I can say that those have around 36 points of articulation and are full of extra panel pieces that showcase the different weapons or battle damage looks.

The Power Pose series are limited to 15 points of articulation and mostly meant to be additions to the hall of armor (why need all those articulation points if they'll just be in a static standing posture on display?) or, in the case of the MK XLII for Power Pose, he is limited to being a specific action pose with even less articulation whereas the Movie masterpiece has the full 36 points of articulation.

I'm guessing some armors will only be available through the Power Pose series though. This red snapper armor is likely one of them.

You would think with a name like Power Pose, it would be the opposite, and have more articulation to "pose" them with than the movie masters, which would generally be static.

One would think.

It looks like power pose series isn't consistent with the points of articulation. The PPS MK XLII shows 0 points of articulation on the hot toys website specs yet the same armor for the movie masterpiece series is the full 36 poa. Then I checked hot toys website specs on red snapper in the PPS and it shows 20 poa while sideshow collectibles site has it listed as 15 poa, lol.

All in all I prefer the MMS versions since they have all the bells and whistles I usually want from these figures. The addition of a die cast MMS for iron patriot and MK XLII is very welcomed with me.

Looks pretty good, although in full disclosure I half-expected it to be a figure of RDJ wearing fly-fishing gear and holding up his catch of the day.

Well that's just silly.
