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.

I'm all with you on the scale issue. When I say I want him in 6' scale, I mean the Hasbro 6' scale which is more like 6.5 inches in hgt , so I hope he is as tall as the 80th anniv Ironman fig.

As far as the Perez Ultron, that for me is his most iconic & favorite version ever & am estatic that Hasbro finally did him based on Perez version & not some other artist crap rendition such as the famous TB Dog Face Ultron or any toon based crap version such as the one from the Avengers united crapfest toon.
