‘I’ve personally met a lot of the guys in the Marvel Studios art department. These guys are absolute pros at designing but they also have to make it look like Don Cheadle can proportionately fit in the suit.

hi, is anyone else having trouble contacting Sideshow's customer support chat?
I think this is the best shot to help us get an actual idea of the Iron Patriot's size. Was initially thinking that maybe the figure is undersized since it's clearly almost as tall as the Hulk in this shot but then I realized that Cap isn't that much shorter either, he's actually barely a head shorter than Hulk and half a head shorter than Iron Patriot. The ground they're standing on also seems to be pretty much even. So I'm not sure what's going on with Hulk but he definitely looks a bit undersized in this scene while IP doesn't seem to be as tall as some scenes made it out to be.
Their working hours start at 6am Pacific time, so you probably just need to wait a bit...
Well they either dropped the ball or Cheadle has crazy long arms and no midriff.

Watched the review last night when it premiered. Didn't realize you'd been down with the sickness but glad you're feeling better and back at it!

Yeah I think you are right about the cost and colors. I can see why a lot of folks would pass.
I was on the fence initially with this guy because of the colors and design around the hip area. But ultimately I decided to PO this figure a couple of months after it went up. I did so because I think this armor has really unique looking design overall and the colors will stand out from all the rest of my Hot Toys. And yes I agree that he is a bit pricey but worth it in my opinion.
Based on the pictures and videos I have seen recently I am really happy with my decision to get this figure and I am looking forward to his arrival.
All that said, if he had come in more traditional WM colors, I would have pre-ordered immediately without hesitation or regret.

I was 100% with you until the end. I actually might've passed on this had it been traditional WM colors as I've already got the Mark IV and Mark VI. Or maybe I wouldn't have gotten the Mark VI, not sure. I love the colors because, as you said, the colors will really stand-out on the shelf. Excited to get this one...at some point. Now waiting on EG Thor, Hulk and UP. I miss the days of 30-45 days from Hong Kong release to Sideshow shipping...

Is there another way to contact Sideshow without using the chat?

I haven't contacted them for a while, but usually just using the email contact form has worked pretty well for me in the past. Expect a 24-48 lag in their response though...

You can call them. I have never had a problem reaching them by phone. I haven’t had to wait more than 2 or three minutes to speak to someone.

You can't use coupons for an existing order, if that's why you're trying to contact them.

So this guy arrived today.
This thing has a presence, got some weight to him also. This is just right out of the box, he's going to look epic paired with Rocket.

Thanks
He is by no means perfect (no figure is), but this is the first one in a while that has had me very impressed by his presence. I wasn't initally bothered or even had this guy pre-ordered but the the recent photos/unboxings had me sold.
I do prefer this colour scheme personally as I already have a Mk1 and Mk4 Warmachine. This guy just stands out. Very tanky, I thought the Mark 4 was a tank...
Tho one funny thing, the pointy feet do look funny from a side view

Finally someone who bothered to take a second and adjust those shoulder pads to sit properly. You sir, are a man of culture. Thank you.
