This thing is awesome! It's great to see a FULL helmet come out as I never liked the half helmets Hasbro has been making in the last few years. I still have my full Movie Optimus helmet, which I love. And I would totally go for this and the Star Wars helmets in the Black Series (Stormtrooper). If Hasbro makes a Thor's Hammer replica, I would go doing backflips to Toys R Us or Target to get one. Or two. :D
exactly why I was looking forward to your review, not only was it in depth with all the details features etc. but you also pointed out the flaws that other reviewers haven't mentioned mainly why I originally subscribed about 5 years ago. becuase you never disappoint when it comes to reviewing and going over every aspect of the item, so thank you Paul for the awesome and honest reviews all these years and I definitely look forward to more and as far as this helmet goes. I'm definitely picking it up!
The helmet is based on the based off of any of the iron man suits below the mark 40 when he started using a different, more sleek earpieces that changed the shape and allowed for better hearing.
They should have molded the railings in plastic, hollowed them, or made them like a track and placed Earth magnets under the rails. That way it could match the rest, and not get scratched but still maintain the ability to hold the faceplate up.
Having worked for Hasbro for several years as a Product Designer, the "rippling" is due to both heat during the injection mold process when the parts are cast as well as "stress" marks when the parts are immediately assembled and screwed together while the plastic is still somewhat warm and "pliable". These helmets are manufactured VERY quickly on the assembly line with both machine and human building so, these types of rippled "stress" marks will be common on very thin high impact poly-styrene (we call it HIPS) and ABS (acrylontrile butadiene styrene - this is a stronger but more expensive plastic) materials. Deformation of the surface will occur.
Interesting bit of information. Thank you first off for watching and secondly for sharing. That makes a great deal of sense. As i talked about in the video, i do look at this more as a "toy" of sorts but i still very much like it regardless.
I do love mine as well too so, I am very forgiving of it's tiny flaws considering it is definitely not an Anovos, Master Replicas, or EFX prop replica. But, for an affordable "cosplay" movie accurate replica, it is great!
Me being the big fan of Iron Man, I don't just want this, I *NEED* this! It doesn't seem to be cheap, and the paint scratches (as everyone in the comments pointed out) look like battle damage, which I like. Also, admit it, you want to have an Iron Man suit. This brings me the closest I would probably ever get to that. Having this would just make me, I don't know, ecstatic when it would arrive, and just downright amazed when I put it on my head. You should know that I would be excited for the chance to get one of these as a contest winner or something for free, or at least a discount.
Great piece here. I had this on preorder a while back but I got fired and now I'm broke... hopefully soon I can get this AND that Captain America Shield. Hopefully you review that too cuz I REALLY wanna see how it looks in someone's grasp. :D #TeamCap
I'm honestly much more tempted to get the $300 shield as an actual metal prop replica instead of a plastic one but i have a lot of other stuff i need to get and pay for first
ive got the shield its pretty good my only thing is as far as i know you cant adjust the straps to put it on ur back( looks like you replace them if u wanted to) but id say its worth reviewing
I wish that they painted the lines around the ear and back with a darker color to kind of give that multiple parts effect. The way the back of the helmet looks like one massive piece of plastic kind of bothers me. But that's only my opinion.
yeah i have the same scratches by the chin. and the same scratches by the magnetic strips. i fixed alittle with a red sharpie but some times it still rubs off. Im thinking on putting mine on a shelf once re paint my walls,and miss my marvel legends figuers. and thats me wearing mine in my avatar pic.
i would literally just buy this helmet, and spray paint it black whole. the faceplate however, painted white and make it look like the punisher logo. that way, its gonna look pretty damn cool and it could also be named "iron man skull" or sumthin
cool Review optibotimus it look very cool i like Iron Man but i also like Batman and the mask the very cool and awesome can this mask be use in Halloween ?
Also, this helmet will scratch very easily because it's only a "candy" clear red lacquer type finish without a protective 2 part clear coat (which is unfortunate). It would have been nice if a protective clear coat had been applied but, then we would probably be talking an additional $50 - $75 more on top of the $99 price point. I am a little concerned about the clear red possibly fading with the "pink pants" issue the first Hot Toys Iron man figures had because, the clear red was painted on top of a silver undercoat. Hopefully this will not happen with this helmet. Howard Chan from Hot Toys personally told me that their latest Iron Man figures since the suit case Mark V are not painted this way anymore. The silver undercoat acted like a "mirror" underneath the clear red which reflected even more light to cause the red to fade. And, red is already has a bad reputation as a fading color. And, your video is spectacular as always! I love watching your reviews my friend.
Hi Optibotimus. It is definitely based off the original first film Mark 3. There's a little paint detail on the front chin that I think Hasbro forgot to reference (it's a little square red painted detail that is missing). But, then again, after watching your review. I could be mistaken as well :)
It COULD be based off the Mark 3 but it definitely isn't. The III has that molded detail under the chin like the MK VI does, but which is totally missing on the MK VII, like replicated here on the prop
You can make a video of you wearing it, but no I don't recommend you to wear it while driving. It's difficult to see through the mask especially if the LED is at its brightest.
u know what I call all those paint scratches, battle damage
Nomadic Bro exactly
Nomadic Bro Hu

The scratches make the helmet look cool,it looks like it is battle damaged
Yeah it actually dose
Agree
Ya and I actually repainted it with spray paint that is waterproof and scratch proof too😊
Who else loves how the warning says: Not a protective device lol
It is to Tony Stark
No wonder when bashed in the head it kept hurting
Someone asked on amazon if it could used as a motorcycle helmet so that's why we have these warnings 😂
@@gordiebelza lmao
They need to make the vulture helmet from spider man homecoming
Ye
Wasn’t it an air pilot helmet with green eyes?
The vaulter is stupid

I wasn’t sure if I would get this version but after watching your review, I’m for sure buying now!
In case you have a longer head
*MY HEAD DOES NOT LOOK LIKE A SODDING TIC TAC!!*
Ayup
Hasbro needs to do a Vader helmet like this.
U right !!!!
Anduril74871 your in luck. Coming soon it's confirmed.
Anduril74871 Try the black Series. They do Kylo Ren, Vader, Poe Dameron, all the lightsabers and loads of mini figures!
little did he know....
Lol
I love the flawlessness of the review, I might just have to buy myself an Iron Man helmet sometime in the future...

6:26 You can hear the lights
a little strip of clear tape on the offending magnets may stop that scratching and not impair the latching optibotimus :)
Got mine yesterday and it sits on my bedside table, watch your videos all the time you are awesome
Got mine today for a birthday gift..love the look and color..and I love the be excellent to each other line..classic Bill and Ted..great review.
wait wait wait... Hear the lights...
bro what are you on and why aren't you sharing
Damn look at the background
I wanna be a collector but my wallet cant handle it
Louis Vuitton Gang well its $200 something now so if your wallet was hurt then.... now it's dead 😂
It’s 85 on amazon now lol
I got the punisher one for 70, and it's way more expensive that the original one, I feel very lucky
It’s 100 dollars at GameStop
As an owner of one of these, I will say that the lights appear brighter in person.

Oh i agree totally.
Very nice helmet and a great review. I hope they make a Vader helmet.
little did he know........
They need to make a full suit! I wasn't going to get this, until I watched your video. Did not know you could put it on!
Me being the big fan of Iron Man, I don't just want this, I *NEED* this! It doesn't seem to be cheap, and the paint scratches (as everyone in the comments pointed out) look like battle damage, which I like. Also, admit it, you want to have an Iron Man suit.

Look, its iron man, great review optibotimus 😊👍
it would be really rad if it was mechanical, but that snap on effect for the mask is rather rad!
I want to see this retrofitted with Magic Leap AR goggles and motorized hinges
we can see your refection.
I really want one of these now :O
The paint wear at the top could help customizers create a battle damaged version
My helmet came in awesome i love it no problems with it
This looks like a cool piece to have in your collection. It'd be cool if you wore this in your next "what's op with the botimus" video!
Great piece here. I had this on preorder a while back but I got fired and now I'm broke... hopefully soon I can get this AND that Captain America Shield. Hopefully you review that too cuz I REALLY wanna see how it looks in someone's grasp. :D #TeamCap

joltster109 didn't nobody askkkk you XD
golden freedy fnaf1 o.o
I thought the comment was touchy..
But then, I saw #TeamCap.. *no, no, no*
#TeamStark
That’s the better one. 🥶😀🥳🏄🏻♂️👍🏻
holy crap i just saw this at my smyths store i work at and i was wondering what this was cheers opt
I don’t like how they make it wider to make it for “universal” especially because it’s a prop
You are the best reviewer EVER!
ive got the shield its pretty good my only thing is as far as i know you cant adjust the straps to put it on ur back( looks like you replace them if u wanted to) but id say its worth reviewing
Just got this. Super stoked. Wish it felt a little more durable doe. Probably going to alter it slightly just to make sure it's a little more stable.
That’s perfect for cosplay
I'm fine with this and i'm not too nitpicky. Looks really decent and a nice prop replica... Gonna get it!
I got it for Christmas yesterday
Great present!
optibotimus thanks :)
the awkward thing is that I find how detailed and nerdy your analysis is to be rather attractive.
Anastasia August I'm nerdy too
I’m huge iron man fan as well and I really want to get this helmet. I wish they would makes iron man gauntlets
It has been awhile since I watched obtibotimus
Just bought this for myself for christmas🥳
Hope you enjoy it!
@@optibotimus I sure will🥳
Pretty sure its mark 3 based on the top of the head, chin and "ear" shape. Just my thoughts
I wish that they painted the lines around the ear and back with a darker color to kind of give that multiple parts effect. The way the back of the helmet looks like one massive piece of plastic kind of bothers me. But that's only my opinion.
Incredibile IronBotimus
Love wearing it
yeah i have the same scratches by the chin. and the same scratches by the magnetic strips. i fixed alittle with a red sharpie but some times it still rubs off. Im thinking on putting mine on a shelf once re paint my walls,and miss my marvel legends figuers. and thats me wearing mine in my avatar pic.
Good choice of music mr.botimus
I like the finish on your wedding band. What material is it made of?
Mark 7? Huh I was thinking mark 3? I do love the mark 7! My Favourite suit. This helmet looks great!
Impossible Pie my fav is mk. 42
Impossible Pie nah bruh mk 47
Scratches where the rails are are ok cause it's gonna wear as it slides up and down
here in the Philippines it costs approx. $168. expensive!
Yep PUTANGINA 😥
Wow Hasbro must’ve re-release these because entertainment earth and big bad Toy store has them for pre-order? Do you know anything about this?
Really very very cool
i would literally just buy this helmet, and spray paint it black whole. the faceplate however, painted white and make it look like the punisher logo. that way, its gonna look pretty damn cool and it could also be named "iron man skull" or sumthin
Riffska 2k iron punisher ?
about that.
cool Review optibotimus it look very cool i like Iron Man but i also like Batman and the mask the very cool and awesome can this mask be use in Halloween ?
This helmet is based off mark 3 helmet from iron man 1 dude. God damn..
thats what i was thinking
No not quite, it's actually from Mark 7. The Mark 3's V head is more angular while the one on the Mark 7 is rounded off
Hey if you go on Amazon right now it's only $79 for the helmet
Also, this helmet will scratch very easily because it's only a "candy" clear red lacquer type finish without a protective 2 part clear coat (which is unfortunate). It would have been nice if a protective clear coat had been applied but, then we would probably be talking an additional $50 - $75 more on top of the $99 price point.

All these people you know.....having worked as a product designer...knowing Howard Chan....i'm jealous! :P

Please a COBRA COMMANDER HELMET with this quality
There’s actually 8 magnets 2 more at the bottom
I wounder if repulsor blast hands will be made next. Oh and I'm able to understand you with the mask on.
Yeah, with real lethal lasers and a speed of up to 100 mph 😂😂
i was thinkig that to.
THEY SHPULD PUT A VOICE CHANGER DAMN HELMET IS GOOD I HAVE OPTIMUS PRIME WITH VOICE CHANGER AND BATMAN
I prefer this one
I actually was disappointed that the mask wasn’t mechanic. It is still a great model for the collection though I paid more then $100
"They should make more"
Well buddy... therea quite a few now
Aidan Harris as in not a lot???
With the helmet on, optibotimus kinda looks like Tony Stark
I think is one of the phase 1 suits
What happened to the official Hasbro video on the HELMET with there guy that shows them how to make them?
I like the pant sacraches because it looks damge in the movie
The side ear pieces looks like the Cybus logo from Doctor Who 😜
can you wear it while driving a car? im planning to buy one and make a video while wearing it ;)
You can make a video of you wearing it, but no I don't recommend you to wear it while driving. It's difficult to see through the mask especially if the LED is at its brightest.
Would it fit on a kids head
Awesome vid
Is there enough space for awesome people to wear glasses with the helmet on?
So hasbro got best replicas if im right 🤔?
something like prime with voice
I love ❤️ iron man
Does the mask help to see in the dark? Because the light up eyes.
What is the proper name for that jaw sliding mechanism?
Hi bro the version is mark 3
He reminds me a lot of Happy lol
Gosh dang it i thought it had a motor for it to slide up i should have watched this before ordering it
Gotta get use to the new intro.
am I the only one who thought that when he pulled out the head strap it looked like the reverse bear trap from saw Lmao 5:35
Cool!
Damn Lol I might just use this for airsoft or paintball
Why is the volume so low?
when your face mask falls of shut it down! iron man 2
mans doesn't know what a trapezoid is... called it triangular lmao
i wish i had this :C
I ordered it still not here but got it on game stop for 80 dollars
this is perfeckt for cosplay
Its bit triangular its trapezoidal
Do more prop replica reviews. Do your Indiana jones props and barbasol please.
It's awesome you ask for that, i got two in the mail today that i'm hoping people will like
is there any way you can modify the helmet to have a faceplate motor?
I want them to make mk 42
friendly naborhood spiderman they already did
friendly naborhood spiderman but the ronan did
This helmet is a mk 2-7 design
