Nice review! I really should pick more of these up. I like Iron Man, though he's never really been my favorite, so once I have one, I feel I have enough. Still, they would make for some pretty sweet customs here and there.
-
something to add here is that in an extra stroke of genious hasbro cast the holographic iron man in black light reactive plastic. So put a black light on your display and your left with a truly sweet looking holographic effect.

Spud, that was by accident, I'm sure!! :P ;D
Zed, great review of the set! Some of the Iron Man figures are a lot of fun - my son and I each got a carded Hulkbuster - for this die-hard unhero'd overaged kid. I happen to love the first War Machine mold (without the ball-joint mounts) , some of the bizarre variants (Deep-Sea and such), and some of the bad guys.
In this set, we agreed the HB2/IronMonger needs to be repainted into a cargo-handler droid... ;)

Cargo handler is not a bad idea, although I have to admit he has slowly grown on me since this review, still don't think he is great, but not terrible either (then again I tend to like goofy figures anyway)
Thanks everyone for the kind words.

.... or buy a snake armor and use the body of the monger-buster to make a "super cobra snake armor" that actually works... :P
I also wished they hadn't put this figure in this set. The WM and holo-IM was what compelled me to buy it. since the pack is entitled "proving grounds" I think it would have made more sense to put in the Mark I or II armor, or come up with another "conceptual prototype" armor.
