Here's a look at the Iron Man 3 Hall of Armor set. This is an Amazon.com exclusive. It's still available at the time of this post.

The main reason for getting this set is for the Tony Stark and the Mark 42 figures. Let's take a look at Tony first. The figure uses a G.I.Joe base body. He's got a nice head sculpt, there's a good likeness. He looks a little odd from the front but that's due to how his eyes were painted. I like the hair which I think is well done. His facial hair was painted on. The arc reactor too was well painted but I would have liked if it were a little faded. It's underneath his shirt after all.

The figures do not come with any accessories. But here's something you can do. You can pull out Tony's hands and attach Iron Man's, then we'll have a cool figure of him testing out the repulsors. Who needs the Hot Toys version. Lol.

Articulation. He's got a ball joint neck, ball hinge shoulders, swivel hinge elbows, wrist swivel, torso pivot, ball hips, double jointed knees and ankle hinge and swivel.

We can use Tony's head on some Iron Man figures. Unfortunately it can't fit on the movie figures, those from this set anyway. It can fit nicely on the Bleeding Edge. Have fun trying it out on the different armors. I think this is something a lot of us have been wanting to do.

Now for the Mark 42. This is more the figure a lot of us wanted. A figure with a good sculpt and articulation. There's great detail on it. And the paint is pretty good too.

Articulation. He's got a ball joint neck, ball hinge shoulders, swivel hinge elbows, wrist swivel, torso pivot, peg hinge hips, thigh swivel, double jointed knees and ankle hinge and swivel. The shoulder pads hinder articulation. He's unable to extend his arms out to the sides much. I would have liked if he had a neck hinge and wrist hinge.

Here's a quick look at the other figures in the set. They are the Mark I, II, III and VI. They are the same figures as the Iron Man 2 ones with paint differences. The colours of these figures are matte which give them a cheap appearance. There's also the noticeable glow painted around the arc reactor on the chest.
