Iron Man Mark IV is the main armor that makes it's debut in Iron Man 2. It is in wave 2 of the Iron Man 2 Movie Series, and the paint job looks great. This figure and the Mark VI share the same parts sans torso/body. In person the colors look a little different.

It comes with a missle launcher, armor cards and figure stand. So for a new armor, technically it should be better than the older ones right? From all accounts, it's a better armor in the movie, and in my opinion, the figure looks better than the Mark III, mold/sculpt-wise. Yet there is something that holds it back....

The range of motion for the hips is not as good as the Mark II and III armors. The thigh armor gets in the way. You can have the figure sitting down, however either the inner thighs will face upwards, which looks weird, or the legs will be spread apart a bit. It's not enough to stop me from buying the figure and recommending it, but it was worth bringing up.

The range of motion for the head is limited to just swiveling left and right. It cannot look up or down like the Mark II and III armors. The shoulder pads on this one are glued on and made out of soft plastic. This results in the range of motion for the shoulders being quite good.

This is another great looking figure, where the paint really stands out like the Mark II. Beautiful gloss finish and one that sticks out on shelves. I was quite surprised to see that the head could not look up or down; that coupled with the hindered range of motion for the hips are the primary disappointments with this figure. Worth picking up but don't expect it to pose as well as the Mark II and III armors.
