In the 1st movie line, the standard Iron Man Mark II was painted in gray tones, which was cool, but not movie accurate(gray is a good color to use, I mean the Hot Toys matte version looked awesome). Mark II in the movie was shiny with metallic silver.

This time around, Hasbro has let out a Mark II with metallic silver paint. Panel lines are also inked in, which is rare for any Hasbro figure outside of Spiderman. The end result is a beautiful rendition of the Mark II armor.

The Mark II and Mark III share the same mold, which is unfortunate. Why? I wanted to see the rivets sculpted into the Mark II mold, for movie accuracy, and most importantly, to be distinguish itself further from the Mark III. Don't get me wrong, the mold isn't bad, but the difference due to molded rivets would have been appreciable. It might be a small thing to some of you, but to me, it would make the Mark II a better figure.

The Mark II just comes with a missle launcher and figure stand, along with armor cards. I don't use these launchers much, but thankfully they are not gigantic.

Range of motion is good, much better than the bulky Mark I, and the neck actually has some good up/down movement. This is something a lot of fans want primarily for flying poses. The only problem I encountered was the shoulder pads flying off every now and then, while moving the arms outward. Fortunately, the pads do click into place well and they shouldn't pop off too much.

Overall this is a figure worth picking up and it's presentation is beautiful. The only thing that tarnishes the look is the fact that the panel lines are too thick in certain areas. Well that, and also the scratch that is on the face of the mask. It is a fun figure to pose, and I had no worries of breakages while handling this figure. The shiny paint makes it a significant improvement over the 1st 6" Mark II figure, and it's a highlight of the 1st wave.

8/10
