Are you talking about this one?:

I unfortunately only bought the comic series and not the other, although I always considered it . The Power Charge Armor does resemble the movie series figure, although I think the earlier movie series has full shoulder rotation, the concept armor does not(the other concept armor WM has full rotation though).

I want to actually thank you man, while doing some research and ending up at the above link, I had the idea to use the ball peg on the concept armor and attach the Artillery Armors cannon. I just wish there was a way to switch the chest light on without pushing on the head.

Ah...I didn't see he had a chest light. And yes, the first movie series War Machine does have full shoulder rotation, but the shoulder pads kind of inhibit its use.

I just wish they would make a perfect toy, how hard can it be.

You'd think it would be easy, but Hasbro has proven so many times that making action figures based on movie characters that are 100% perfect is entirely impossible. I have a version of every deluxe class movie Bumblebee mold/retool ever made, as well as the Human Alliance mold. Each one of them has something accurate that the other one doesn't.

I was kind of kidding around. At the end of the day, yes even for these super cool figures that bring us limitless hours of fun(until it breaks or gets lost) it's simply a toy. I just like to have fun with them.

I was looking through my boxes of Marvel Universe and was taking some pics the other night. I wish I had room to display them.


I enjoy these toys for the art on their packaging as much as the toys.



Forgot all about the Moon Knight. I kick myself for not buying a second one to open. He's so pure and white and mysterious. I almost opened last night.

I think all the IM2 War Machines have shoulder pad issues. I've got the movie and comic suits, as well as the larger one (what is he, 6"?) and the pads get in the way on all of them. Short of molding them to the shoulder joint and not making them hinged at the shoulder is probably the only way to fix this issue, but it won't look as nice then.

I don't seem to have an issue with the shoulder pads. I think the Artillery Armor War Machine has great articulation, even with the shoulder pads. Being on a hinge they easily lift out of the way

I have sadly been drawn back to TJMaxx to buy more super heroes.
My latest excursion netted me Iron Man 2 Concept Series War Machine: Munitions Armor and Destroyer from the Thor line(my only from that toy line).

I have yet to explore War Machine, but I love me some Destroyer.

I've wanted him for a while and decided to go for it. If anything to help
move the stock to pave the way for more great finds down the road.
Destroyer seems like a giant among the other figures.
He towers above Wolverine:Origins Weapon X

His light up gimmick is so much nicer being located on the abdomen rather that having to push down the head.

A very nice figure(he too needs better shoulder joints though).


I also picked up a Marvel Universe Psylocke from Wal-mart. She was being clearanced off for: $5.00

I wish I could find that Destroyer. He looks cool. But, I've got that War Machine, and he's neat even though his gigantic launchers make standing difficult.

You can never have weapons that are too big. Never. Go big or go home.

Too true


It's odd to hear about balance issues. Mine seem to stand quite well, and if they don't I use a stand from the previous MU figures, they can really help when a particular pose is wanted.

You've got to love Hasbro's weapon reasoning. I loved MechTech for the reason mentioned above.

I got the white Spiderman yesterday. Yay me.
