That fun little factoid aside, the Extremis armor truly surprised me with the sheer amount of articulation Hasbro managed to get into this tiny little guy. He had all sortsa joints and they all worked perfectly except the ankles which were hindered a bit by the armor design itself.

The Extremis was my main armor for a while, until I found the Bleeding Edge armor by pure luck. And I was in for another surprise with this one too. It is a massive improvement over the Extremis, much like how it is in the comic. Life imitates art in a freaky way. The BEA is slimmer giving Tony Spider-Man-esque poseability. The rocker ankles and the cut thighs can give you some really deep poses and the paint job really is a reflection of the comic book coloring.

Overall, I still love the Extremis, but the Bleeding Edge beats it out by a slim margin in my book.

ROCKER ankles? Holy shit! I had no idea, so THAT's what people were talking about with regards to new ankle articulation!
