If that happened to the neck on mine, I'd definitely contact sideshow about it. If I had to exchange the entire figure I probably wouldn't do it. But if they were able to simply send an extra neck, I don't see the harm.
I've had to exchange my first ever iron man figure (the mark 7). One of the arm lights didn't work. I bought it from my local comic book shop. I emailed them and asked if I could just replace the arm and they said that they had to exchange the entire figure.
The next QC problem I had was with my diecast war machine mk 1. Both of the inner sides of the back thrusters were 'L's, so the right side one wouldn't pull out all the way. So, I contacted sideshow and they sent me the right part and it was super easy.
I have one tiny problem with my war machine mk 3. The left hand sonic blaster thing wasn't glued on completely correctly. But it's not very noticeable and doesn't bother me very much.
I've had to glue on pieces here and there with some of my figures, small pieces like a forearm part on the patriot for example. I wouldn't feel all that comfortable with gluing together a piece that is part of a joint, especially the neck. To me this isn't just a minor armor piece that can be glued back and that's that. At the very least, I would like to hear from them directly what type of adhesive to use.
Anyways..
I hope one of his infinity armors has some space flight elements like starboost does. I'd also like to see one that is decked out in weaponry like this war machine mk 3, or the avengers mk 6. Something with a bunch of accessories and pop out compartments. I guess we'll see. Whatever his final armor is, and if there is one, it'll be the one and only 1/4 scale figure I purchase. I really can't wait to see what these armors will look like.

Finally completed all my Civil War figures with these last two additions...time to wait for a proper Spider-Man...
Beautiful! I'm so jealous. I hope sideshow starts shipping the 46 in early June. But man, I REALLY wish the gold they used was the same as the one on the prototype. The decision to use the more 45-esque gold makes me scratch my head. (I do wish the movie had used this gold though, because it really is gorgeous)
The 47 is dumb. It will most likely have absolutely no explanation in the movie. It will just be there as his flavor of the month armor. Even though it's literally just a repaint. I guess Tony got lazy after Civil War.
Marvel/Disney will say it's a throwback to the Ultimate look or something, but that's just them trying to create demand when there is none. It's simply for $$$$. Marketing a new figure that die hard Iron Man fans and completist's will buy. HT is in their glory, and shouted with joy. No new tooling or designing, just a simple repaint that they will even charge more money for as an exclusive or something... Win win for them... But in the long run if it helps them make more other figures that might get over looked I'm OK with it.
When comparing the reveal of the power pose 47 to the power pose 46, they're quite different. But I don't know how it'll actually look in the movie or how the diecast version will look. If it ends up looking like the initial power pose 47, I actually would prefer it to the 46. The initial power pose images of it are awesome. I REALLY hope a diecast version and the movie version look like that.
But hey, I'm an armor lemming, so I'm excited for the 47 either way, repaint or not. I think the color scheme is really interesting.
. Now that's gonna be the completeists nightmare. Trying to collect all the figures from Infinity War pt 1 & 2....
