    The gun is identical to lordscorps gun they just coated it red. Spear and head are the only entirely new parts. So I guess he technically has a single bonus accessory Lorscorp has no equivalent to.

    I'd love to see what this and that Grand Maximus look like in robot mode together.

    Really liking the colors on this. I wasn't planning to buy it but I bet those colors really pop in person.

    After seeing the shots of both the regular and now this version, this version is my preferred choice (not bashing the regular version). Why?? The darker colours make more vibrant and provokes more of a meaner and aggressive look.

    When the first version was released and I saw it in person, I thought "They should made one in Black Zarak colours". Lo and behold a year later, my questions where answered.

    This smaller version is a homage to the original TT version that we can all enjoy and to fiddle around with, also with the bonus of not worrying about the GPS at all! ;)

    I'd really like to get this guy. Back in the early 2000s I picked up a mib black zarak on eBay. Box looked great, stickers unapplied, he looked perfect. I didn't know what gps was at the time. I took him out of the box and tried to peg the shield on his arm just for kicks, and the shield just started to crumble. I put him back in the box and ended up selling him a couple of months later.

    So...

    [​IMG]

    .. I'm having my very own MP-36 style resolution and acceptance party today.

    Iron Factory Lord Scorpion: Dark Matter IF EX-18D. The dark matter at hand here being the copious amount of paint and rub spots. Basically, if it ain't black or translucent, it's painted, and if it's gold or red it's a rub spot. I'm not entirely convinced the gunmetally blackish parts don't have some sort of finish either.

    [​IMG]

    It looks spectacular of course, and the toy remains a stunning piece, but I have resigned myself to the fact that if they're going to go as far as to actually paint the fucking thigh joints, shoulder joints and anything that tabs, rotates or pegs, you're going to either end up with a statue or have to make a compromise.

    [​IMG]

    This isn't something new to Iron Factory, not in the slightest, but given this molds tight tolerances anyway, is certainly the first where I have had to decide whether I want a display piece or an action figure.

    [​IMG]

    I think the pics have made their point as to where I stand :lol

    Can do, in work at the moment though.

    I'm seeing it on the feet where they fold and meet (zero room for error or it'll shear), as well as the peg holes on the feet that tab into the crotch, a touch on his horns and helmet and where the gold guns on his legs rotate and meet the surrounding area.
