Pretty sure it's just a repaint of the MK42 with inverted colors.

I think I will pre-order it even if it looks like a repaint. I don't want to regret not pre-ordering it as the Iron Man Figuarts don't seem to drop in price.

Looking at the sculpts...yuh straight repaint..

Looking at the releases again, I might pick up vader because he comes with a kick ass background.

I don't care if it's a repaint. I still want it. Because they're doing more Age of Ultron stuff. And I'd like them to match.

in "Iron Man cannon", are 42 and 43 "supposed" to be repaints?
Sorry I don't follow Marvel and Iron man nearly enough to be able to spot minor differences in each "mark"

Also, I am sort of shocked/disappointed/angry we aren't getting some sort of "Hall of Armor" back ground pieces that can connect up

I mean, isn' t that the sort of bonus stuff that your web exclusive lineup should feature? Can there be a licensing issue for . . . a background item?

Well the figure itself is a straight up repaint, I don't think anyone has seen the actual AOU suit yet, but usually there's always a really nice physical difference between marks, even subtle changes like the triangle chest piece and what not, so it's a bit lame that it's just an inverted repaint.

Probably a cost thing...but then it is rather odd when Vader is getting a whole set with his figure.

Actually I hit up google and found this image (official?) of Mk 43?

It does indeed look like the 42 with flipped colors so the SHF is accurate

I guess since its a licensed Marvel product i shouldn't be surprised Bandai got the specs

I think there are quite a few straight up repaints from the movie. They might have different capabilities, but a lot of them are identical. Mk2 and Mk3, MKVII and Midas, War Machine 2.0/Iron Partior (this doesn't really count I guess), MK22 and WM2.0m, Red Snapp and Peacemaker (minus the claws). I'm just going off what hot toys ha released, so there might be more.

Heres an official picture

And I think we should move the discussion in the appropriate figuarts thread. Getting pretty heavy offtopic around here.
