wenn man die büste mit Brustpanzer aufstellt, dann sieht man es gar nicht. bis auf diese eine kleine "macke" sieht das teil echt gut aus.
dass das teil nun falschrum ist, das wissen wohl eh nur die eingefleischten iron man fans.
ich bleibe bei meiner Bestellung, aber der Brustpanzer bleibt druff :D
und da hat sideshow sich schon größerer patzer erlaubt :rofl: es wäre aber wünschenswert, wenn sideshow sowas künftig nicht mehr passiert.

At this point, I won't be saying anything about messed up arc reactor anymore. I already said my take on that. I still love this and I don't even think about returning at all and this bust is only $350-400(with taxes and shipping) which is affordable for me. Beside all that, if I want to nitpick about the product. I would say I wish the gold face paint is more glossier. That's only thing I can think of.

Here's my new picture.

WOW guys! Last night was a real rollercoaster regarding Iron Man and especially Arc Reacter Gate :thud: I got my reply back from William @ Sideshow Returns Dept and have been offered a very generous partial refund. Should I accept it or send it back? Well, as I predicted yesterday, once you receive this bust inhand you kind of cant help but fall in love with it and you feel that despite spending a fair bit of cash on this, that you'd certainly miss it in your collection, especially for those Iron Man fans. It's such a beautifully sculpted bust and the paint apps I have to say are great! Battle Damage is a little excessive in some areas but all in all it is well done. So to the Arc Reactor...it's literally welded on! :( I tried to see if I could prize it off but nothing was moving and I wasn't about to ruin the whole bust for the sake of trying to correct the position of the arc. It really is such a shame...:slap such an odd mistake to make...clearly the guys in the factory didn't receive the memo that the Arc Reactor needed to point downwards and instead, all 3000 busts suffered the consequence.

The removable chest plate is awesome and is easily removable by the use of two strong magnets on either side...it couldn't more simpler or easier. Once again, the detail in the under-armour (once the chest plate has been removed) is gorgeous and the light up features really come to life once the chest plate is removed...I completely forgot that this clenched right fist also lighted up which was a nice surprise.

So back to the beginning...do I accept the refund or send it back? At the end of the day it's Iron Man :rock and despite the Arc Reactor being the wrong way round :slap I just feel the overall design and look of this bust is too good to not have...I'm not saying it compensates for the incorrect position of the Arc Reactor but when I put into perspective how much i'll be getting refunded and the overall quality of the bust, then I think I'd rather have this in my collection than not.

So here are my pics guys...sorry again for the delay of not posting last night but after hanging around waiting for the Keaton Bats PF to get released and then unpacking the Iron Man bust, etc...time kind of got away! :lol

Enjoy my friends :wave

Wenn ich mir die Fotos so anschaue, ist der ja auch nicht mal mittig montiert. :eek:
