I wanna pull the trigger on that 12 inch, but I'm definitely going to have to wait and see this guy up close before I make up my mind. Surprised it's only listed @ 19.99 though, considering all the features. HTS has these guys up for (pre)order now.

But ya it does look good. Sideshow type poseability has spoiled me but for $30 it could prove to be a good toy though. :) ___________________ CollectionDX Writer www.atomsantics.com Your right, the elbows are ( I just rechecked the pic), but only up, no rotation.

I didn't get to handle that one but the repulsor Iron Man has projectiles that fire out of his palms, when you push the button on his chest he says "I am Iron Man." pushing it repeatedly cycles thru firing missles and something else I can't remember...I think it was a flight sound. The figure could only move the legs and arms forward and back and the head turned and looked up a very little bit. No ball joints no articulation in the ankles, elbows or knees. It wasn't bad, just not great. ___________________ CollectionDX Writer www.atomsantics.com Invincible has more inspector gedget type of appendages that attach for firing action.
