nice looking mold though.

It can be annoying, but I think it's fine as long as a properly-colored version is released as well. And given Hasbro's penchant for redecos, it might eventually happen.

Was the Tin Man Iron Man the pre-extremis version?

Correct, although there were a few more versions/variants in between the two. Exclesior07's excellent thread here is my go-to source on Tony's many, many armors.

Arctic Iron Man looks like a future peg-warmer.

I see him as custom fodder, specifically for Iron Patriot. Hopefully, that will make sure he doesn't collect dust for too long. I'm more worried about more Red & Gold armors. Those already pegwarm around here, along with tons of the Mark VI.
