Stealth Mode

Iron Man's Stealth Armour made its first appearance on issue #152 of the Iron Man comics. As its name suggests, this armour's role was to avoid being detected by radars & other detection technologies. However, this statue by Sideshow isn't an exact replica of the look in the comics. Instead, it is a Stealth themed variant of their immensely popular Iron Man Comiquette. Not just simply a repaint, this new Comiquette comes with lights as well (which I felt was sorely missed on the red & gold one).





























This statue has had its share of problems from launch, as the early batches were packed with a plastic inner packing which badly scratched the statue during shipping. However, this problem was rectified in later batches (which mine is from. Phew!) with a foam wrapping around the statue. So my advice for people buying this statue, don't trust a sealed piece. With the success of the Iron Man movie & the cool look & lighting on this statue, it's no wonder it is still fetching crazy prices on the secondary market!
