Sideshow Legendary Scale Busts - Blue Stealth Ironman




















































Sideshow Legendary Scale Bust - Blue Stealth Ironman


I went for a holiday to Hong Kong in March 2009 and past by Toy Hunters at CTMA one evening when i saw this gem of a bust. I initially thought it was gonna cost an arm or a leg but was shocked when the guy told me the price - after conversion in SGD$ 130... What a steal !!!


It looks awesome with the lights turned on and i remembered my son telling me he was scared of the monster's red eyes.. Anyway, its a pity there wasn't the normal version on sale as well.


The sculpt was quite well made and if my memories serve me right it is done in the sculpt of the Extremis armour. The body was finished off in quality metallic blue paint with the mask done up in lighter blue shade. It weighs a lot too and i would know as i hand carried it in a bag all the way back to Singapore.


In fact the only thing negative about it was the stand had some small chips which luckily wasn't visible when it stood upright.


Other toys bought during the holiday were Gijoe Mighty Muggs wave 1 and Takatomy Drift cars.
