Marvel Legends is my favorite toy line so I've definitely been collecting Hasbro's (and Toy Biz's) Iron Man figures for a while. However, I think they've only recently started to make good Iron Man figures. The older figures were stiff and usually under sized compared to other ML figures. My favorites have been the recent 80th Anniversary IM and the ANAD IM from the Okoye BAF wave.

I think the best Iron Man figures have come from Mezco. I have the standard red and gold armor and the NYCC exclusive black and gold armor. The red and gold is actually in my Marvel Legends Avengers display since I like it more than any of my ML Iron Man figures. The accessories, light up feature, opening faceplate, and die cast parts are all top notch. One thing I really like about Mezco figures, which you touched on, is the detail that is put into each figure. They remind me of the statues that Sideshow makes for Marvel and DC.

I've bought some of the S.H. Figuarts armors in the past but I've sold most of them. The only one I currently have is the Mark III which is one of my favorite MCU armors.

I've also bought some of the Sentinel RE:Edit Iron Man figures before but I don't much care for them. They fit in well with Marvel Select figures, are very articulated, and overall look amazing. The wine red used on the Extremis Iron Man looks SOOOOO good. However, the quality isn't on par with cheaper figures. The plastic feels flimsy, the die cast is minimal, and the wires for the light up eyes make it incredibly nerve racking to turn the head.
