More Detailed Look at Marvel Manga Realization Samurai Iron Man

[Cyclopswc]

So I noticed Samurai Iron Man has no repulsor in his palm. So I guess this is the pose he strikes when he wants people to stop? Our first traffic directing Iron Man armor?

You know, the Samurai theme worked really well with Star Wars - Shogun Vader, Ronin Fett, and all the various troopers, but it doesn't seem to carry well over into the Marvel universe. They completely failed on the essence of Spider-man, I guess it's because Marvels are all individual characters? Anyway, I'm just not feeling it.

I agree. This Iron Man figure isn't really doing it for me. It was stated in the previous Manga Realization Iron Man thread that European armor motif would have fit better than a Samurai one. I would have loved to have been able to see that.

The repulsor is the gray attachment on the underside of each of his arms. I personally think its a really interesting concept. I'd like to see how they do Cap or Black Widow.

I'd buy that for a buck. Pretty sure I actually got this fig back in the 90s from a kb toys factory store for under buck.

Why not just hold the guns normally?

Because then you wouldn't have your hands free to hold a sword!

There's something about this guy that speaks to me. I think I actually like the design. Though I'm not even sure its Iron Man to me anymore, more like some crazy character out Afro Samurai or something. Though don't know if I like it enough for the price tag the Realization line has.

It's interesting but not $100 interesting. Someone said it above, these shogun Marvel figures not translating. I think the reason why is SHF is to cheap to create new molds that unique, so we're getting copy paste figures with add-ons here and there.
