The Green Goblin was a patriot all along.
The
Iron Patriot is not my favorite Iron Man suit, but he was a suit I didn't mind owning. Preview images made this guy look kinda
cheap, but... is he?
This guy is built on the same buck as Extremis Iron Man, which I don't mind as I really
liked that figure. When photos first came out... he looked rather
cheap and plastic-y, but he looks much better in hand, as the red and blue have a pseudo metallic shine to it that makes him look really nice. Other people complained about Hasbro changing the silver paint into white... but this guy is
supposed to be a walking flag, this is how it should be.
Articulation is a where he could've been better, for you see... he has new shoulder pads, and they
restrict movement on his arm. He has no waist swivel, instead, his ab crunch rests on a ball joint, exactly like the Extremis figure. He is a bit taller than Bucky Cap.
The back of his chest piece is done in an entirely red color, which... is this right? The blue and white paint on his sides just... turns red? It looks weird. I couldn't find any pictures of Norman's back, but it just
can't be right.
This is as far as he can raise his arms to the side. Kinda
sad.
He's a decent figure. He is not everything that he could have been, the paint scheme isn't the most interesting... but he isn't half bad at all.
