Iron Man Mark III is the armor used by the end of the 1st movie. It is also the armor most of us are used to seeing, so admittedly, I wasn't planning on buying my figure at 1st.

It also comes with a upper body armor with wings or something. Opening panels, which may or may not house repulsor weapons. In any case, I initially thought that the opening panels were supposed to represent the airbrakes seen in the movie but they weren't all that big in the movie.

So aside from the armor, this figure also comes the armor cards and figure stand. I appreciate the fact that Hasbro added something extra for this figure in the form of the armor but it's not something that makes it highly sought after. In fact, if you have the Mark II, the appeal for this figure is diminished. They are the same figure save for paint and the fact that this one has an additional piece of armor.

The armor helps to secure the shoulder pads, which is good. The bad thing is that the opening panels are made out of very soft plastic, and you have to force the edges in to make them flush when closed. The plastic is more flexible then I'd like, so closing or opening the panels sees the plastic work against itself. At times, the panels don't move along the hinges but actually fold into themselves.

If the Mark III was your favorite armor from the 1st movie, then this is a figure you should get. Same if you like the extra armor. If you have the Mark II and are on the fence on this one, you can pass on it. The Mark II in my opinion has much better presentation and the extra armor on the Mark III isn't a big loss if you don't have it. The Mark III is a decent figure but not for everyone.
