I bet it'll look fine in the final in terms of aging. If they don't overdo it, people complain the final product looks soft and cheap.

This. It looks overdone in the prototype, which is fine since it's gonna get downgraded and softened up through production.
It's not really that far off once you picture it softer in detail and compare to how he looked in the movie. He had all those eye wrinkles.

Yep! And from your comparison, now I wonder if the eyes looks weird/off because they made them and the eyebrows perfectly symmetrical, instead of one brow slightly raised and the other eye slightly less open.This.

Yeah, you're probably right... I just figured that since they did Dead Strange, they'd do the rest too, you know? And they seem to like Strange enough to basically re-release him every time he appears, so I was certain that they wouldn't ignore the new designs. They did the NWH version but they'll be passing on such a great look as the Supreme one? I wanted that for my Illuminati set-up...If they do make anymore MoM Stranges it won't be anytime soon. A Toy Fair Exclusive may be your best hope now. As for Klawng, I think first they'll release your grail Namor from Wakanda Forever.
I debated it and I'll be passing on Manletmor, if he happens. It'll still (probably) be a cool figure that I want to see, but it's too much of a deviation for me to have as my one and only Namor. I'll wait until they give him a proper suit and a shave, maybe a longer haircut. I'm weird enough to be buying 300$ dollies, but I'm not at the level where I'll buy a near-naked nobody at that price.
They better give me Klawng fast though. I need my Clowny friend!
Good point. I just had some hope since Xavier was in the storyboards since forever. Maybe for DP3 or Secret Wars...

I love my DC VI 1.0 and will pass on this 2.0! Good hunting!
I appreciate the new sculpt but yeah it looks kinda odd and goofy to me. Hot take: I think the 1.0 is the superior figure with the half-helmeted head, diorama base, and EX helmet. At least when you compare it to the basic standalone version of this 2.0, that is.

I know we only have a small sample of proto pics and the description, but beside the gantry and addition suit up internal parts and helmet, is anyone seeing anything anywhere that this armor is different than the original DC Mark 6?

Is the gantry being sold separately?

Yes you can get it on its own but it's a little more expensive compared to buying it with the Mark 6. You also don't get the under armor bits. That's only included in the 2 pack.
Mark 6 - $365

I owned the VI for years and it looks identical in every way to me. Had to be some retooling for the change-out internal parts included with the gantry and removable neck for the switch-out head but otherwise it's the same figure.
A real shame they didn't add USB power rather than the stupid batteries yet again. I'm not buying another Iron Man until they re-engineer the power source.

Yeah that’s a bummer. The gantry is USB-powered, though.
Would have been amazing to have the gantry power the leds in the suit wirelessly like a phone charger.

They should do some kind of induction pad where if the IM is on the gantry, he lights up.
So DC IM mk VI 2.0 (or 1.5) with Tony Stank headsculpt 2.0? 
How many Tony Stark headsculpts will they try until they nail it 100% or at least close to a 100%?
Either way, great for those that missed out on the original DC. Price is steep though for the full package.

That is rather curious. What would be cool (rather than a dynamic stand) is if they added another gantry arm that reached to his backside with a figure clamp. It could have the same design details as the other arms and fit right in. The clamp could be gun metal gray too or even hot rod red to blend in with the suit.

I'll wait for this in the BOGO sale in 2024.. probably another overproduced Iron Man.. No room for the gantry so no interest. I think overall Iron Man fatigue is very real for me personally.

I like the sculpt, I'm glad they gave him the slightest smile finally. People don't love Tony because of how stern he is, he's a fun character.
Iron Man 3 turns 10 this year. I fully expect a Tony 2.0 from that film.
