Review "S.H.Figuarts Iron Man Mark 1 -《Birth of Iron Man》 EDITION-(Iron Man ）」

Tony Stark, a genius scientist himself, is at the top of the giant munitions company Stark Industries at a young age. Speaking of his armor, it is characterized by having cutting-edge scientific and technological capabilities not only in the internal system but also in the exterior. However, the biggest point of this "Mark 1" is that it is made of "on-the-spot materials" for the purpose of escaping from terrorist organizations! If you look at it again, you can see that it is equipped with all kinds of physical drives such as hydraulic pressure, springs, and tracks.

At SHFiguarts, the invention of this miracle is three-dimensionalized with a total height of about 165 mm. The unique silhouette of only the prototype "Mark 1" has been incorporated into the action figure. There are no monitors at all, and the rugged appearance of an iron block suggests that "Mark 1" was made only to protect Tony's body from the danger of desperation.

Clear material is used for the arc reactor part of the chest. Furthermore, the "bare iron texture" that is the charm of "Mark 1", such as the marks of welding plates to each other and the unevenness of the surface, is pursued from both the modeling and painting aspects. The "STARK IND." Mark on the back, which symbolizes the setting of diverting existing weapons, is also reproduced in print to enhance reality.
Don't miss the details such as the power unit on the back where the coils are painted separately! Please enjoy the commitment and creation of "Mark 1" created by the predicament at SHFiguarts from every angle.

The wrist parts come with "grip" and "open" on each side, and the flamethrowers attached to both arms are reproduced in detail. A tube made of soft material can be seen through the gaps and joints of the armor. The parts that are different in color from the armor plate, such as rocket buttons and pipes, are also painted according to each part.

By attaching effect parts using clear material to the tip, it is possible to display with the image of Iron Man breaking through with flame radiation. This effect part also has a shape that shoots out flames from the radiation port under the fist.
Since it is not a character with tricky actions, SHFiguarts emphasizes texture and expression of "Mark 1 likeness" rather than providing excessive movement, but in this way raise the arm horizontally, in front of the launch port Posing such as holding and walking is fully possible.

Tony tries to escape from the hideout of the stateless terrorist organization Ten Rings in a force that can never be said to be sufficient. However, the activity limit time of "Mark 1" made with limited materials is 15 minutes! Therefore, by attaching this "flying effect" under your feet, you can reproduce the launch scene of the leg rocket. Combine it with the above-mentioned effects for both arms to break through "Mark 1" from the enemy's siege!

Of course, as shown at the events so far, it can be stored in the separately sold "HALL OF ARMOR" (orders start at the same time at Tamashii web shop). When the light is turned on, the appearance of "Mark 1" that has a presence and a profound feeling that sets it apart from each armor of the past emerges.

And you can see Tony's eyes from the head of "Mark 1" which imaged before the hideout escape in the first half of the article, and you can see that the head is hollow when stored in the HALL OF ARMOR. Is it? By replacing the parts inside the head, it is possible to select whether Tony is wearing "Mark 1" or not. You can enjoy it according to your favorite image and pose.

Furthermore, if you put it side by side with the separately sold "SHFiguarts Tony Stark" (resale in April 2019), the impression in the play may be revived. "Mark 1" that exploded into pieces when the hideout escaped and is no longer treated as a force. Still, it's easy to see that Tony has restored "Mark 1" as the ancestor of all armor and as the one who saved his life, and put it aside with a special feeling.

As the name suggests, the beginning of all "Iron Man" is "S.H.Figuarts Iron Man Mark 1 -《Birth of Iron Man》 EDITION-(Iron Man)" will be available for Tamashii web shop from May 28 (Thursday)!
