As you can see in the following images, the basic Mark VI smokes the Mark VI Power Glow armor in the articulation department. I predict that the basic Mark VI will be the favorite of collectors, with the Power Glow version appealing more to kids. One of the most appealing things about the Iron Man 2 line is full articulation. The articulation in this line is superior to that of the current 3-3/4" Spiderman line, and depending on who you talk to, Marvel Universe(the latter is more on the side of parity).

Simply put, if you like light up gimmicks and don't mind the loss of articulation, get the power glow Mark VI. If you are looking for consistency and high poseability, the basic Mark VI is for you.

The basic Mark VI is more appealing to me, because I get more fun out of posing it rather than trying to pose the power glow version and activating the power glow gimmick.
