Steel Serpent's costume was similar, but different enough in the collar and general construction that using any Danny fig. as a direct template could easily be interpreted as cheap/lazy on Hasbro's part. Not that they would care about that as it hasn't stopped them from retailing copious amounts of repaints and bare minimum 'retools' that feature little more than new heads and minor accoutrements like pouched belts and oddly placed straps. Additionally, Serpent has a very different body type than Fist. While not as big as the Thunderer, Steel Serpent is much more stocky in build than Iron Fist.

ML classic Ultron is a vast improvement over that outta scale MS version which I never bought due to it being wonky looking & outta scale.

I hope you are right, but I'm not sure how you can definitively state what you have without having the fig in hand. While the removal of the ab crunch worked out (for the most part - I've still druthers...) with Doom and Kang, some of us have higher expectations of figure pose-range and articulation. Something might be good enough for you, but you aren't the arbiter for the wants of others.

Edit: Also, I disagree with your point about the luster of the fig's paint versus classic illustrations of Ultron. Ironically, the Perez photo you've used has three visible highlights of gleam (left shoulder, right forearm, and right knee) along with numerous other shading details commonly used by artists to denote a highly refractive metallic surface.

As mentioned earlier, you are entitled to your opinion, but there are always going to be differences out there, even from individuals that also view the Perez 'look' as preferred and iconic, if not definitive or signature.

...you can always quote something I say if you want to have a dialogue, dude. Talking around someone or something can come off as passive aggression. Message threads exist for the purpose of the exchange of ideas on various subjects and I obviously have no qualms about communicating directly to anyone...

Edit: In rereading, again, I realized you also referenced my size concerns as well...My comments didn't revolve around 'scale', they were direct references to 'size' with inch (") references. I also believe the Select version to be too large and didn't buy it for the same reasons. However, Hasbro's other comic canon Legends Ultrons do not have the stature I'd want for the figure. If the upcoming Ultron stands at 6", I will be disappointed because that would make my favorite automaton diminutive in comparison to other characters. To help drive what I'm getting at, the mid-large male mold that Namor is on is roughly 6.5". This should help provide perspective for my statement that I hope Ultron is closer to 7" than 6". Again, I'm here if you want to discuss.
