Hot Toys Iron Man Mark II Sixth Scale Figure (Armor Unleashed Version)

To compliment my Iron Man Mark I sixth scale figure, I finally picked up the Mark II based on the Iron Man 2 movie.  Being from the second Iron Man film, this figure comes with a head sculpt likeness of Don Cheadle.  Personally, I feel the likeness is not very accurate and probably in line with my Indiana Jones figure as one of the worst likenesses I own.  That being said, I'm quite impressed with the quality of detail on the rest of this figure.  The figure came with some added pieces of armor to show both an exoskeleton version and a completely armored version of the Mark II.  Was quite impressed that not only did it have LED-lighted ARC reactor on the chest similarly to the Mark I, but the repulsors on the hands and bottom of the boots also lit up.

There were some moving parts on the figure that were really cool in pics I've seen but I had some trouble getting them to move and didn't want to force the parts and risk having them break.  For example, I didn't take pics of the missile launcher on the left arm or the shield gauntlet on the right wrist.  Didn't take pics of the airbrake deployment system on the legs as they wouldn't stay open but they sure looked damn cool when held open.

Specs and summary for the Mark II are as follows:
