Trip down to CSC - Mirrornoob's Iron Man Mark 3


Congrats to Mirrornoob on finally accquiring his Hot Toys Iron Man mark III.
Ordered it on his behalf from a honest and decent dealer at CSC, who runs Toyz Crazi at level 2.
Collected it today and opened it up for check it out outside CSC. Now i can't wait for mine to arrive from TFH...
To Note: Apparently the design for the lightup hands and head are pretty ingenious, using clear rubber nubs with an embeded LED lightbulb in the arms to the joint connectors...(unlike what i thought, which was the lightbulb being in the hands itself... ) which is pretty great a design and ingenious...for the hands had some sorta' plastic which focused and amplified the light.... awesome IMHO...
my only qualm is that it is way lighter than it looks...
