Comic Statues & Busts: Marvel Legends War Machine from Marvel Legends

While working with Stark Industries, Jim Rhodes helped create War Machine, a technological marvel combining armor, weaponry and ease of mobility. After being terminated from Stark Industries, Rhodes attracted the attention of Nick Fury and S.H.I.E.L.D. who were impressed by War Machine's capabilities, and recruited Rhodes to assemble a strike force of similarly armored War Machine operatives. The War Machine suit has armor-enhanced strength, speed and durability. It is also able to fly via jet-boots and has a state-of-the-art weapons system, which is constantly modified and upgraded. Features 36 points of articulation. Includes a 32 page bonus comic book and the "right leg" of Galactus.

I just want to know, is children or adults that drive up these prices. I just spent fifty bucks on a toy for my child.

I bought this figure, Originally, because i need the Galactus right leg. Here, in my country, this figure only arrived "preordered" and it was very expensive, if you can catch it.
The figure is very simple and it has a rocket launcher and a machine gun in each shoulder.
I think this figure was better than it really is.

War Machine is awsome, because he's like a black and silver ironman. Except that he actually has guns. Here's the pros and cons of this toy.
CONS
1. It looks like his waist is going to snap off. It's way to loose.
2. The machine gun is actually attached to the figure and you can't take it off.
3. NO STAND, only a freakin leg
4. The fireing weapons don't fit in easily
PROS
1. He's war machine!
2. He's black and silver instead of red and yellow
3. He has cool weapons
4. His helmet actually stays on his head. The ironman's didn't
PRO AND CON
5. Very stiff figure. (Besides the waist)

From the Galactus Series, (or Series 9), is War Machine. He is an Avenger and close, personal friend of Iron Man-if you couldn't have guessed that already. He has the same body sculpt as the Iron Man from Series 1--which has everyone either loving it or hating it. In my opinion, I love it. I love continuity. That way it's a little more believable that it's the same guy under the costume if the body looks the same. Tony Stark (Iron Man) wore this costume first. Then, his friend, James Rhodes wore it and continues to wear it. He is nicely articulated, well painted, and the joints were all tight and well concealed. Durability is good for kids, but the mask could have fit a little better. You can always super-glue it in place because you really don't need to see James Rhodes' face-unless, of course, you want to. Also, the rocket launcher and gatling gun that are mounted on the shoulders restrict the movement of the figure's head. At times, they can even pop the mask off of his face. They should have been put them a little further away from his head. He comes packed with flame accessories that can be placed into the holes of his hands, feet, and weapons to simulate the firing of his hand repulsors, bootjets, rocket launchers, and gatling gun. A very nice touch! He comes with an Iron Man comic book that has War Machine's first appearance. Unfortunately, it's only on the very last page. They could have picked a better one, I think. There is also a clear, plastic, wall mountable display stand that makes the figure appear to be in flight. As I mentioned, he is part of the Galactus Series. Which means you get a piece of Galactus' huge 16 inch body. When you get all 7 figures in this series, the pieces can be joined together to make the 8th figure in the series--Galactus, Devourer of Worlds and arch nemesis of the Fantastic Four. A shrewd marketing technique by ToyBiz. Everyone will surely buy all the figures in order to get Galactus. He truly does look amazing when he is assembled. I fully recommend this figure. The good points far outweigh the bad. He is well stocked and I would certainly buy another if something were to happen to the first one.

I was always a big fan of War machine when he first broke out in Iron man up to the Us War machine paperback. This figure rocks. I love the details I love the firing add ons I just love it, Marvel has made my day by making one of my favorite characters into a action figure this poseable and detailed. Thank you marvel I'll buy every series of marvel legends because of War machine

Marvel Legends Exclusive Ares Build-A-Figure Wave Action Figure Ultimate War Machine

James Rhodes was just a student when he met Tony Stark, but he became much more than that when he was forced to fight off bullies using Tony's first Iron Man prototype - he became War Machine! Later, working alongside Tony at the Baxter Building think tank, James constructed his own suit of armor, which imbues him with super strength, the power of flight, and heavy artillery. With Iron Man at his side, War Machine fights injustice with the only things he can trust - the technology he makes with his own two hands!

A Diamond Select Release! The build-up for 2010's sure-fire hit movie begins here with the only full-size action figures based on the stunning Iron Man 2 designs! Exclusively available in the Marvel Select line, this upgraded War Machine features top-quality sculpted detail, multiple points of articulation and a bonus deluxe Armor Assembly Station base. Perfect for six-to-seven-inch action figure collections, look for the companion Iron Man figure!

Another great figure by Marvel Select or Diamond Select toys, whatever they are calling themselves now. The sculpts are great and the likeness of Don Cheadle is pretty spot on! I need to comment on the Border's exclusive version of this figure. The figures are exactly the same between the exclusive and the regular edition except that on the Border's version the Arc reactor on the chest is a blueish color similar to Iron Man. However, to be movie acurate it should be a redish color glow. If you want the movie acurate version skip the Border's exclusive figure! The regular version of War Machine comes with the redish color arc reactor paint and the eyes match (they are redish also!) Don't know why the exclusive version got it wrong or why anybody would want the incorrect color arc reactor in the first place? Other than the paint mixup, great figure!

This is a great figure. Great detail and durability. The removable mask is an awesome feature and under the mask is a quite accurate representation of Don Cheadle's face. The arrticulation is not the best. But most marvel select don't have much anyway. NOTE: In the movie war machine has a red arc reactor. However in this figure, he has a blue reactor with red eyes. That does not match apparently. But it is an easy fix. I simply used a solid red paint to fix his reactor. This is a great figure over all. I would reccommend this to any iron man or marvel fan.

After much waiting I finally recieved War Machine and I can honestly say for the cheap price I paid this toy is cool,you can go on line and they cost so much more.I couldn't wait to give it to my son,he was sooo excited the detail is really lifelike he looks like Don C.I was more happy that my son was smiling the toy was bigger than we expected and he really loved the details and the removable mask.I can't wait for my sons Iron Man toy which we are still waiting for.

This War Machine Marvel Select figure was featured at the NYC Toy Fair by Diamond this past February and was very well done. It's beauty and detail will appeal to both a collector or a kid who just wants to have a battle with his Iron Man toys. (Looks just like Don Cheadle!)

These Marvel Select Toys are far better than anything you will find available at this price point and will not disappoint Iron Man fans.

When I first saw the prelim sculpt months ago, I was really excited about this release. It looked highly detailed, especially the facial sculpt for Don Cheadle. I just picked it up at Borders (broke down and couldn't wait for my Amazon pre-order, which kept on getting delayed), and while it does look cool, there are some serious flaws that keep it from being exceptional. First off, the head sculpt is just as cool as the previews lead you to believe. It looks amazingly lifelike, and the mask fits snugly both on top of his head to reveal his face, and over his face, so there is no real chance of accidentally losing it in either position. Overall it does look pretty cool, but after having bought the 4 inch Hasbro figure, I did find a few things lacking. First of all, the eyes are done in red, to match the movie War Machine, but the chest and hand pieces are done in blue, like Iron Man. If you are going to go with one color, stick with it all around. Either make everything red or everything blue to match. It just looks a little strange. It also would have been nice to get additional sets of hands besides the default closed fists, just for a little variety, but no big thing. The biggest complaint I have, and this is after comparing it to the 4" War Machine, is the lack of articulation in this figure. I like the rage of motion the 4" offers in the arms, and even though the ball joint in the legs isn't my favorite, it offers more range of motion than the Diamond Select figure does. With this figure, you can't move the arms away from the sides (like if you wanted to form a "T" with the figure), and it's weird how much that hampers the range of movement of the figure, and therefore the ways you can pose it. It is also lacking all of the letterings and markings of the Hasbro figure (on the deltoids and the right oblique). All in all, a good looking figure, but it does say something when I actually think a figure half its size is done a lot better.
