*Hey all! Sorry for the delay between posts--was out for my annual nation serving duties (read: army reservists) and was also in the middle of my move to the new place (read toy/gaming central. Lol wait till the wife sees this.) We finally got the broadband set up today so here it is, the latest of my reviews. Hopefully I'll be able to post more consistently now. :)
Cheers!

You might be wondering, wait a tick, why I'm reviewing Iron Man 2 figures waaay after the movie that hit the theaters in May? That's like six whole months ago.
Well, I'll tell you why:
1. This figure comes from a completely new wave of IM2 armors that contains many different new sculpts/re-use of later early wave sculpts that were fine-tuned to be better.
2. Because they're awesomely detailed toys! And at 3.75" scale at that!
Still not convinced? Well, I got three words and a picture for you:
Ultimate. Iron. Man.
Now all you Ultimates fans (me included) can roll up your tongues from the floor, put in back in yer mouths (removed scraps of dirt etc. first), then shut those jaws and swallow. That's right, remember to breathe...For those of you who are not Ultimates fans, you still gotta admit that it looks like a pretty darn good-looking toy.
Still not convinced? Not a "looks" person, you say? Well then this guy's personality will getcha! Ultimate Iron Man might not talk to me (despite my attempts to strike up a conversation) or anyone else for that matter. But his character's appeal, brought to life by the superb Mark Millar and the splendid Bryan Hitch in the Original Ultimates Comic Series, is so cool that he might as well have a personality.What do I mean? Well, click on to find out!
