This is an utterly fantastic piece for the price. Huge, heavy and incredibly detailed. It has a few minor flaws, but not enough to even lose a star for. It's that gorgeous. Meet Igor! The Stark Industries Iron Man Mark 38 Heavy Lift unit. The Comicave offering is 1/12 scale, so inscale to their other offerings along with the Bandai SH Figuarts. With that said Igor is huge in comparison to them. I had not realized that Igor is the Proto Hulkbuster and as almost as big as that suit. The Igor figure stands at about 8-9" tall, which in scale means the armor is 8-9' tall (or 3 meters).



Like I said the detail on it is amazing. The figure has to be mostly metal it weighs at least 3 pounds. The sculpt is mind blowing. The paint is fantastic with every marked detail and weathering and damage. Rust stains, warning signs, panel access markings. Almost everything on the figure moves. Sliding hydraulic lift panels. Shifting panels on the spine. Multi layered independent shoulder pieces. Layered armor on the feet.



Articulation is meh bordering on poor. Largely due to the core design. It's a hunched over hunchbacked rammer bot. It has nice pull down hips and feet. Knees are complex and layered but have limited range of motion. The same with waist torso and shoulders. elbows have about 90 degrees and no true straight. But this is all forgivable as the armor cannot be any other way. Accessories include fists, open hands and mother of god incredibly fully articulated hands with every finger joint articulated. (for some same reason they dont have these on as the default. You will.)



The electronics are a mixed bag. They look good when on. But it is such a pain and so nerve wracking turning the eye lights on that you will quickly pull the batteries for storage safety and never do it again. To turn on the chest there is a switch between the shoulder plades and a battery hatch just below it. But for the eyes you must pull the head off, then use a soft plast tool to pop the top of the head open to install the batteried and turn on the swittch, Jam the head back on to enjoy the jight effect, then decapitate igor again to peel his skull open to turn the lights off. Like I said ANNOYING.



Be warned, while Igor has a ton of metal. At least 70%, most of it is in his torso and upper body. He is a bit top heavy and must be balanced carefuly. He can be a shelf dive risk due to his top heavy weight.



I would consider Igor a MUSTHAVE for 1/12 Iron Man collectors. He is an unusual and rare armor variant that we will not soon see again. He is well made, Not the best articulation, but good enough for display. It's just gorgeous.
