1/9 アイアンマン マーク5 (デラックスエディション)

The die-cast parts give it a surprising heft that plastic kits just don't have. I posed him mid-repulsor blast on the diorama stand and he's stayed put for two weeks now. Joints are tight enough to hold, though the shoulders needed a bit of working in.

Wasn't sure how the plastic and die-cast mix would look once built, but the weight in hand is genuinely satisfying. The diorama stand sold me — it turns a shelf piece into an actual display. Took me a couple evenings to assemble and nothing felt flimsy.

The die-cast parts give this thing a surprising heft for a 1/9 scale kit, and the joints hold poses way better than I expected. The diorama stand is a nice bonus too, makes it easy to display without buying anything extra.
