    YES. Man I’ve wanted a 1/12 scale figure of that armor forever. It’s so unique! I also feel as the holder of a physics degree, I must own it

    Unless they show off the figure with a price and release date you can never really know whether or not Bandai will release it. There have been a lot of times figures have been shown but never ended up getting a release much to everyone's disappointment. Haha.

    God, I want the Mark XV so bad! But there's no repaint potential, so it's never gonna happen...

    While that's probably because it had a prominent appearance in the movie, I will hold onto that hope!

    I've always liked the Heartbreaker armor. That massive Arc Reactor in the chest looked really interesting to me, plus the angrier looking styling of the faceplate. I've always thought it was a shame we didn't get a similar wave of War Machine alts too.

    I really wish that Bandai would stop this odd practice of multi-component elbow & knee joints. I have no idea now whether or not mine came this way or if it fell out somewhere while posing.

    Unless someone comes up with a better solution, the alternative is usually uglier joints.

    That happened to mine as well, same arm.
    The problem is that if you fold the arm in all the way, that piece can get caught up when you extend it back out.

    Not sure I understand what you're saying, or rather I'm not understanding why the joints can't just have the "cap" part molded onto them to begin with. Or, if they have to be separate pieces, why not use a mushroom cap peg instead of relying solely on friction.

    I imagine it saves some resources by allowing them to reuse the elbow joints in a different figure without having to redesign the whole thing and just needing to design a cap that will mesh with the different arms. But that's just my speculation, I don't really know the real reason why they do what they do. lol

    I wasn’t getting what you were saying either. Basically, the way their double joints are put together make them look better than other, lesser designs but I agree with others who mentioned the separate cap piece is likely a cost saving and design option measure.
