No gauntlet included, because they will sell it to you when the Final final battle version comes out.
In fairness when he had the gauntlet his suit was being fried. To do it justice they'd really have to make an all new figure.
I would understand the complaint if he didn't come with the right accessories for the initial confrontation with Thanos.
YOOOOO final final battle
That one is coming. Called I am Ironman edition.
I really do appreciate the honesty and information.
Seems like some people don't understand that you can still buy a figure Anthony or any reviewer is negative on. It's just more information so you know what you're getting and can make an informed decision! That's why I appreciate Anthony's reviews, even when he's positive about a figure he'll still point things out about the figure and comment on the engineering which no other reviewer will do.
Also for figures like this and imports in general reviews *should* be harsh because they cost a ton and I want them to be held accountable so they can be the best they can be. I don't need to see a review from someone who's just excited to have a figure and not much else.
I get people don't like to be negative but if you're making a review it's *your job*
I really like your way you approach the figures and it makes you sound like a disappointed teacher, not just a angry consumer. Keep it up!
"Disappointed teacher" Hahaha
I think Anthony is about to give up as a toy collector
Glad you mention the armor design proportion is off compare to what it’s supposed to be like in the box art, most of shf iron man are.
To me the only figure that captures the mk 85 look is tge zd toys version
The Mafex 85 is the best, oredred this one, but i will eventually sell it to buy the mafex
i meant it as far as Accuracy to the movie
"Look at the ankles... WHAT ANKLES? There's nothing there" lmao.
I have been a sub to your channel for 3-4 years. And after all this time you still only have below 200k sub's??? That's mind boggling to me. Do people dislike the people who actually know what they are talking about? I mean your videos are some quality stuffs. What the freak?
It’s crazy. I thought I remember seeing Anthony got over 200k subs when I first subscribed back in christmas last year, and then I checked yesterday, he’s below 200k which was a huge surprise to me!
Dunno I really enjoy his videos, and he's the most helpful reviewer on yt for me
I remember him having less than 40k but he definitely deserves more for how informative he is.
People tend to prefer channels with stop-motions and condescendence over shitty stuff.
It's too bad that a lot of people don't like this kind of objective reviews. Anthony's reviews saved me lots of money and all of that went into the things that are far better in quality. I just don't get why people are afraid of reviewers telling the fact that some figures are indeed trash or riddled with problems. I know some people think that he's being too harsh on these toys, but if you come to think of it: These are the things that cost money which we don't necessarily need in our daily life. With that said why shouldn't we expect the product to be of higher quality? Btw I even learnt a thing or two about aesthetics and human anatomy just from watching his reviews XD
My disappointment is immeasurable and my day is ruined- Anthony
Dude I actually love this figure. He looks great with lightning refocuser and repulsor blasts. I can forgive the ankles and elbows. I understand what they were going for. If the articulation function well, and the aesthetics look good, then im all in. One thing I hate is loose joints though.
You have saved me so many time from spending money on bad figs, you need to change your name to ( keep it real Anthony ) and good job
Do all the things wrong with the figure bother me........yes. do they bother me as much as you.........no. But I don't understand all that goes into a figure I have a very simplistic knowledge of the engineering of action figures. You on the other hand have an extensive knowledge of these things so naturally it's going to bother you more.
To your question. I use your reviews to either: 1.decide if ill purchase at all. 2.know if ill like what im buying (sometimes i simp for a character despite figure being trash) 3. Know what work a decent figure will need to be great. You saved me money on the movie figs and the mcfarlane line so far. Love your reviews btw! Always fair and honest
"Why no nano gauntlet?" Probably for an inevitable 3rd re release
Mhm
it came with the Iron Spider figure if not mistaken.
Man, you're the best figures and collectibles reviewer on RUclips, great video and great content.
Dude This Is SH Figuarts
I definitely take in your opinions before purchasing said figure. This figure seems it is NOT worth for the price point.
You exactly mentioned all those issues I discovered with this figure. You are so honest with your excellent review and I feel it the same way as yours. Eventually I bought this figure today because of its attractive accessories and the flapping shoulders with Mafex version. Of course, I need to bear with all the weakness you mentioned with this figure as there is bound to be trade-offs.
Those ankles do look bad.
I agreed with your opinion. Which is why i stop collecting shf ironman. The facts that the price for the figures is going up while the improvements is very little. On that note, did you experience the colors fade on your shf? My shf iron patriot, mark42, 43 & 45 all color are faded. I'm very disappointed. That is when i decided to stop collecting shf ironman. Bummer.
So apparently SHF is making another version of the mark 85 with the nano gauntlet and nano blasters. Its called the Mark 85 "I am Iron Man" Edition.
Yep
I love your reviews. You've ruined the fanboy freak out channels for me. Even when they're knowledgeable about figures, they still can't be objective. Keep doing what you're doing and never apologise for it. It's why we're here, ya legend.
Great review. You are the most honest reviewer out there. I wish I had your reviews for every figure made.
I know some people would be offended as they paid high price for this figure but the problems with this figure that were mentioned in the review are genuine and should not be there in such expensive figures. I hope mafex will do a better job when they reveal their mark 85 later. Great review! Hope to see the new iron spider review.
Awful ankles they do can be pull in into the shin tho. I had that same issue with the clean version. Head the shin/ankle with a hair drier and pull pushed in.
Dude, thank you! I tried this and it worked!
@@rogerjin6579 excellent!!im glad it worked out nice for you!
honestly i have it and I think its a great figure
Dude I’m pissed ur now at a mil subs man ur an awesome reviewer man,I for years I always turn to u to review something
I have this figure and agree on some points. Arms. Small waist. But those accessories make it worth it for me. I'm all about fun factor so things like the ankles or sloppy paint aren't that serious
This figure, for the price, feels really really, extremely cheap. I don't have this version but I had the very first release of this mk85, which is also expensive. I sold it after just a few weeks I own it 😂. Definitely feel scammed from the promotional picture.
Love the paint sculp
Since you like Iron Man, can you please review the Revoltech Amazing Yamaguchi Iron Man?
I know you don't particularly like revoltech, but I really like to know what you think about it.
I bought it and then sold it before i did the review. It's terribly unpleasant. Kibble everywhere. Fiddly mess. Not a fun figure at all. Only good for very specific photography.
@@AnthonysCustoms thank you, I always look forward for your next review
I ended up selling my entire figuarts collection that was made up of pretty much DBZ, Star Wars and MCU for pretty much all the reasons you’re frustrated with this figure. It end up funding my next collection and I never looked back lol
Thanks for the info Anthony!!! I Canceled my pre-order and also Cap!
The only figure i look forward to is the iron spiderman and the end game ver. 2.0 mk85 with the snapping finger gauntlet!✌🏾😁
Sadly the way I feel about it is that this pre order culture that we are currently living in is seriously damaging the quality and the care these top manufacturers are putting into their figures.. Why would you care when you know that your entire fanbase will buy it regardless as long as it is passable and a little bit shiny? They just don't care enough to put the effort in because the pre orders are already sold out.. Essentially, we as fans are shooting ourselves in the foot by choosing to pre order these figures without first understanding if the figure itself is worth the pre order price it has been tagged with. I fully expect this sort of thing to continue and even get worse as long as we as a fan base keep giving our money away despite the lack of real quality.. It has got to that stage now where companies like Figuarts and mafex are just completely taking advantage of the situation and in a way you guys who are pre ordering this stuff blindly are getting exactly what you deserve. Sad, but True. 💚🙏🌈🔥
Honestly, Bandai could've released this paint job with minimal accessories and it would've still sold out. They gave reason for a higher price point on these Final Battle figures, which i appreciate.
And what are the options? This or that Marvel Legends figure? .... This is more than fine.
i found that if you want to rotate the head to the side more, you can actually rotate the neck joint
I agree with you man I have an S.H.Figuarts Thor Ragnarok and the proporción and ratio of its body is off. The forearm is way too skinny, the legs are too short and the helmet is too big. Besides the scale does not match well with other figures.Thor is supposed to be tall but instead is out of size compared to other figures from the movie.
This Final Battle version is more on the scene where him, Thor and Cap fight on Thanos with his repulsors. They might make another release with the fried up armor/face + snap finger gauntlet. And not comes with any helmet or other accessories. I could be wrong, but still possible. Also bear in mind, they only wrote Final Battle Edition, and NOT Battle Damaged Edition and people get the wrong idea/expectations that why this doesn't looks battle damage at all.
Final means final. Milking a third release is ridiculous.
@@AnthonysCustoms Haha ridiculous for sure. Wish they would stop here. But business is business, accepting or not, theres already news that 2 more Iron Man from Avengers will be coming soon. Here's the source, scroll down and you'll see. cinema.tamashii.jp/feature/feature03/review003/
This is the reason I'm going for the Mafex version. This figure just lacks the proper bulk of the MK85; sure, it looks strong, but it just fails to pack in the size.
I’d say the mafex mark 85 will be the best mark 85 when it’s released
Anthony RULES!!
Honestly the SHF is always gonna be my self preferences, the gaps I could live with it, the gaps are necessary for pose these figures, the articulation & accessories is much more than your marvel legends, not only that the marvel legends lack with accessories but it lacks with preference and would reuse body parts and doesn’t execute accurate head sculpts.
I got their original mark 85 for a good price and never noticed the arm curve (assuming it's the same) but I did notice the ankles being so gappy but it's not enough to really bother me, I personally find it relatively easy to forget about.
My biggest problem is often with the waist, some of the iron men I just find so hard to get the waist/abdomen piece to line up properly and not have a big gap or seam even in a standing pose.
But I really don't think it's good enough to buy again. I have the NOTA Studios head and gauntlet and I think I'll just buy a bootleg 85, weather it myself and put the NOTA stuff on it.
Yeah you do sound negative sometimes but I still think it's necessary rather than act like everything is always great and nice like other RUclipsrs do.
These imports do give you heaps of accessories but what I value most is playability and looks so it's no use to me to have a figure I can't play with or it'll break - posing is cool but I want to actually play with it - and it's worse if they also look half assed and even 'worser' if you pay that much money for it...
I bought me exactly 2 import figures, one Mafex and one Figuarts - never again!
Just like with the Endgame cap. The 1st releases were disappointing cause they didn’t have accessories, now they have a whole bunch. So that makes it worth for me.
Anthony, I feel the same way you do. S H Figuarts has produced so many versions of Iron Man there is no excuse for things like those arms and ankles. It's unacceptable especially when these figures are so expensive.
So the Mark 3 and Mark 7 remain the best SHF Iron Men. Really hoping the recently announced repaint of the Mark 3 comes to the US so I can pick it up.
i appreciate the scrutiny. Especially the articulation can make or break a figure for me. Some of the sculpt mistakes are only found by you as far as I know. Like limbs being on the wrong side.
watching this review is making me really anxious about my pre-order for the Batman 89 figure due out this fall
I bought this fig and I wished I hadn't, the ankles look like his trousers are pulled up too high and you can see his socks. The waist on my fig does not move at all. I paid £90 for mine and I regret it!
In my opinion you're the best reviewer mostly because your attention to the design, choices of production and technical points in general. Your knowledge and comments about the articulation points is also uncommon. I really appreciate that. I think we should follow this kind of perception and who knows.. maybe we can get better figures for the price we pay. This kind of crap exists because there's always people to pay their price. Sorry my English and keep up with your excellent reviews!
I do own the Endgame Captain America & Iron Man first version, but after seeing your review, I don't think Bandai deserve to earn my money for the 2nd times, I am done with Bandai SHF Avengers... they just don't care and make it anyway even when they saw something wrong they still went for it, and they keep putting things into exclusive to make people hard to get them, Hasbro Marvel Legends is much more better.
Glad you mentioned the arm sticking out. I noticed it from pictures so I didnt preorder. Glad I didnt spend my money
ok been honest what I do is, look at theproblem, if I cant unsee the problem, or is something I think would ruin my experience with the figure I just dont buy it, sometimes you point out something but I honestly can look past it, Its good knowing it exist, but I can just ignore it, an example with this figure are the ankles, I know they are dogshit but I can just hide them in a pincture, but the gap in the torso and poor articulation? fuck no, that's how I judge what I buy
I think there is a collaboration between Bandai and Hasbro... they gave Snake Eye's torso and waist articulation with floppiness included.
As much as I wanted this figure, I cancelled it. Once again, thanks for saving me some cash.
Sure it has its flaws, but it still one of the best looking representation of mark 85 out there in this scale. Especially with its accessories. I do really like this figure. And I can live with its ankle. Doesnt bother me at all. And for its armor, I think marvel went for the classic red and gold look in endgame which figuarts nailed with this figure. I dont see anything wrong with his armor. I think it just goes how you look or judge this figure. For me, this is a great figure and its worth it.
I was thinking 6 on aesthetic too
That paint looks disgusting, looks cheap, the dirtiness
Proper use of the word sublime 👌
Yeah its doing too much, i personally don't collect S.H F., they are too expensive and I'm happier with the Nendo of the same suit, comes with the things, looks cute when posed, fuck it, 6/10 it is
Thanks for the great review! always appreciate the meticulousness of it. Stay hard on these guys, all the other reviewers are too nice to figuarts. The price point is way too high to be nice!!!
I was going to get this but the MAFEX one looks sooooo much better , I think I’ll wait cause MAFEX has been killing it lately
I remember the original SHF Iron Man figures from the second and third films, and they were amazingly engineered for the time. Unfortunately they didn’t update that engineering even slightly - essentially these Marvel movie figures are just yearly re-skins of the same basic ‘skeleton’. It’s why I haven’t bought anything Figuarts in years, the quality and innovation dried up everywhere except the Kamen Rider line.
Its just unfortunate there's no other real high end 1/12 scale mcu figures since Mafex is also questionable in their design decisions
I agree.
I will wait for the gaunlet version
If YoU dOn’t LiKe It, WhY dId YoU.....yea, that’s getting old. I agree with the bent arms, the proportions, and the ankle gaps...especially the ankle gaps. The loose waist ball joints do not exist on mine, so that’s a your mileage may vary issue. At retail, the figure definitely leaves a lot to be desired. I got the clean version of this for $65, so for that price I can overlook a few of the issues. The ankles are by far the worst on any sh Figuarts figure or any figure for that matter. The mark 85 definitely had ankle guards in the movie, so I do not know why they got rid of them here. If they are going to remove the ankle guards, at the very least they should have made the feet closer to the shin so that the joint would be less visible like on the mark 50.
I agree with the articulations, especially with the head. A big let down for that kind of price
The most honest toy collector is back.
Back?
You convinced me. Going to return my figure asap.
Yeah, it's a shame. SHF have been dropping the ball for a while now. I've passed on a load of their movie figures because of this. Not bothering with the new mk1 either, even though I'd like a decent first suit
I love your approach to reviews. There's a lot of reviewers who just base figures on their feel. Or too negative because of ACBA like this figure of OLD Ben can't do the splits. I like you because you give an objective review and not go on emotion. It's better because you give me the best idea of whether I should get it. Like because of you I'll wait for mafex Endgame cap. I'll wait for official pictures of mafex ironman before I make a choice.
I just canceled both my pre orders of Cap and Iron man, hope mafex makes a better job
Hey bro can’t you help me my iron man’s Arm is making cranking noises when i move what should i do?
Move it carefully or lubricate it with silicone grease
AnthonysCustoms your a real on for replying to me
AnthonysCustoms and thx
AnthonysCustoms you know what I’m subbing because of this
The arms are the worst part. I knew that before I bought it. The Infinity War Iron Man's arms do the same thing. It looks so dumb trying to do a vanilla pose. The ankles are also hideous.
I'm extremely dissatisfied with the arms on these past few Iron Man figures. I have a shelf with all the MCU SHF characters doing a heroic vanilla pose and this iron man looks dumb next to them. if you get this guy posed up, he looks fantastic, which I am happy for.
I have the original release... I feel 6-7/10 is a fair score for it. It's certainly disappointing, all things considered. There's a few accuracy problems I can overlook due to early production, the 85 literally still changed 2 weeks before the film came out. I'm just sick of Bandai's hold on the market's nuts. This figure's okay. Not great, but okay. At basically 100 bucks, you don't pay for okay. Hated the fact they fuckin' released the first one with so few accessories, then a year later sell you a head, accessories that coulda come with release 1 and then call it a day. HAD THIS VERSION been a shredded, completely "Infinity"-worn suit with the slashes on the chest and everything, I'd understand the year later release. But here it's just a Tony head, and some goddamn accessories that aren't even spoilers. And the things you mentioned, sometimes I'm a bit critical of but sometimes I can work around certain issues.
I wasn't too impressed with the 50, either. I love the 46, it's probably my favourite they've made. I loved the Mk 3 as well, I don't have the 7 but I got the Python and love that one too. And their first few releases, the 43 and 45 were really impressive outings too.
Honestly curious to see what Mafex and Comicave do for the 85. Mafex especially, after their outstanding Thor.
Well looks like I will be waiting until it's on sale on Wish or something. Does anyone else remember when SH Figuarts made figures worth the price tag? Here's hoping they redeem themselves with an updated Fei Long and T Hawk from another franchise lol
You did point out pretty much all my gripes lol I had a Moon Knight ML figure that showed up with its ankle ball exposed. Figured I got a crap figure until I pressed it back into the leg lmao maybe try press the ankles up I dunno.
at least they don't design all their figures with a Spiderman thong😂
Hey Anthony, I don’t know how you’re gonna feel about this but if you didn’t know, McFarlane is releasing another MK Spawn variant which comes with an axe now...
I don't feel any way about it. I'm not buying a 3rd spawn for that lame axe.
@@AnthonysCustoms i love that way of thinking!
There is a world of difference between the SHFA Iron Man figures. And the rest of their super hero figures. The Iron Man suits feel worth the SHFA price with the gorgeous lacquered paint. The other figures such as Captain America are meh. Whereas at the other end of the spectrum, Hasbro’s Marvel Legends looks great for their seemingly magic 3D face printing technology that makes the normal bare faced movie characters look amazing. But all of the Legends Iron Man suits look like cheap plastic crap. Mafex is a mixed bag that falls somewhere in the middle. Comicave looks great, has lots of metal. But are really display pieces as the joints are fragile and problem prone.
Yea I guess most people forgot that the part of the money also goes to the paint job here for this Iron Man. Too focusing on the figure engineering that neglect the finishing here. I personally find the finishing is good other than the grunge effect. I heard the leg of this guy is made of diecast? Which factors in the costs as well. And also bear in mind, they only wrote Final Battle Edition, and NOT Battle Damaged Edition and people get the wrong idea/expectations that why this doesn't looks battle damage at all.
Love his reviews and always take them into consideration. I still bought this figure and for the simple fact that I love the armor it’s a similar nod to his original armor from the comics with a bit added of silver. I always find a way to pose the Iron Man figures in a way to hide the misfortunes of the armors. He’s not exactly the easiest character to recreate because of the armor itself. My favorite armor from these figures so far is the Mk IV and I ordered the new remake of the Mk III and maybe that will change my mind on which one I feel is better. But still bought this figure and can’t wait for it to come in. I agree at the price point the look is poor but still in some sense worth it. If you put it in the HOA that SHF makes you’ll barely notice the joints that are messed up because of how poorly lit it is.
I 100% ignore stuff like this. That ironman figure would have made me very happy.
For $100?
AnthonysCustoms I mean I don’t spend more than $50 on a figure in the first place. Strict rule. But if money weren’t an issue, then yea this wouldn’t bother me.
This is a great, tough review. You articulated a lot of probs I couldn't really put my finger on about the fig (I have previous release). It is disappointing, and I don't even have the great accessories this one comes with. I got the Nota Studio accessory set with the shield, starburst back thing, and nano blades. The starburst fits but is otherwise small and unimpressive, while the other bits are really tough (and therefore scary) to get on his wrist pegs. Well, you win some you lose some. It's less that misery loves company and more that I'm just relieved that you've summed up its inadequacies, which are many.
I like the figure. The ankles are weird and arms are somewhat annoying to pose. That said I like the paint on final battle addition is way better then the first MK 85 SHF did. I have the NOTA gauntlet that lights up & battle damaged bloody Stark head. No need to collect anymore MK 85 SHF's. The Cap on the other hand is a TERRIBLE POS. How can you have a lightning affect that weights the figure down. The ankle rocker sucks on the figure too. If you rock ankles to far the foot comes off SMH.
Mafex to the rescue.
Sometimes i think Hasbro makes a better job than Bandai, which is very odd. A bootleg would be better in this case.
Whats up with the vogue magazine waist on this iron man. He need to be THICK.
You monster
Yeah, the arms are a bummer but I actually like the ankles. I think the previous ironman ankles look like skirts.
Cause I ammmm the cream of the crop. Nobody does it better!!!
Still a decent figure, but the feet are wonky. The Mark 50 has the exact same feet and they hinder the figure both physically and aesthetically as well.
If you like the Mark 7, you should check out Comicave's version of it. It's a six-inch scale and outclasses the figuarts in some ways like paint and an LED gimmick.
No way past the design without sacrificing range.. i feel sometimes we're too unrealistic with these figures. They are figures.
Incorrect
@@Zapdos97 Nah, they could have designed the feet to look better without sacrificing the range (especially at this price point).
i get that youre honest. i get that its your opinion, but man you have a lot of complaints and i think all the negative things that you said to that figure, even the slightest things that a lot of people aint talking it as big deal, you pointed it out. i dont know if its a good thing or a bad thing but you it feels like you are killing the excitement of all the people who are waiting for that figure. its ok to point out some negative things but never tell people to stop buying figures like you did to your captain america. youre acting like a child always complaining stuff
My job isn't too choose what's important. I provide all the information.
Please review zd toys ironman
This cam out at 3 in the morning and nobody is going to talk about it
Most of his uploads are at 3am. He probably has RUclips automatically upload at any time he sets which happens to be 3AM.
That’s one big reason I prefer the ML version, this doesn’t feel like the mark 85. It doesn’t look beefy enough and looks more like the infinity war one but with classic colour set.
When I saw the Marvel Legends one, I was in awe with how much it captured the look.
One other problem is that their details are so muddy. Like they’re very accurate and clean, but there’s so little elevation, that you can’t even see it most of the time. It’s a figure, if you need to, exaggerate the detail so it’s more noticeable. Like they’ve even done it before for the Black Panther figure.The only thing this has over the ML are it’s articulation and accessories. But, if you’re paying like £90 for that, you should get a figure that looks like the armour.
Thanks for helping me save my money
Nice review👍🏼. Are you going to be reviewing the rest of the gi joe classified wave 1?
Not likely
I'm never buying a figuarts movie figure again they are mostly crappy. I loved my infinity war iron Man, but his knee joint snapped after a few months on the shelf. Just went to repose him, nothing crazy, and the joint snapped in half.
I have to be really biased about a character to let this things pass, if not, I'm just like you and just don't buy them. A figure this expensive, shouldn't have these many issues.
Hello hello from Japan another awesome video
Should of had a snap finger hand
Agree with every bit bro, very disappointed, and as you pointed out the brand has been releasing iron man figures for a while now this figure should had covered if not all, most of the issues we had faced from previous releases. I had to pay a premium price and with shipping and all so I have to force myself to like the figure :). Anyways, great videos and reviews man really appreciate and as you always say "Keep Collecting"
Don’t you think it would be more than a little difficult to create a seamless unibody armor design figure in 1/12th or even 1/6th scale without having to make sacrifices for articulation? Otherwise, the figure would be little more than a display statue...
On the other hand, the ankle joints do bug me. Not so much that it’s a deal breaker, but they do bug me. Especially considering they did a better job hiding those in their LAST attempt at a unibody seamless armor design (Iron Man MK. 50)
"Clown Feet" xD
the shoulders look a tad too big when standing neutral....or is it just me...
Thanks for saving me money. Love your reviews.
That's why I'm switching to mafex damn shf is getting bad
