Is the spider symbol on the Sony Venom raised or just painted on?

I want my Iron Man gold. Painted gold like the 80th anniversary figure.

The yellow plastic looks too plastic-y.

The.swirly unpainted gold plastic looks cheap.

It's crazy that people are so against getting figures that actually LOOK like the comic art they're supposed to represent. Plus when was the last time we got swirly unpainted gold in on an Iron Man figure?

I don't even want him Golden.

That yellow red 20th anniversary Iron Man is beautiful. And then with the horns. Unf.

I do like that yellow a lot. That felt like their best Red/Yellow colors to me. I was fine with the A.I.ron Man from the Shang-Chi wave too. Reds are close and the yellow is a little brighter. Secret Wars Iron Man feels a little too bright on both to me.

This guy gets it.

Why don’t we have an angry react on posts?

As much as I like jabbing Resilient on the matter, I totally get wanting him in yellow and Hasbro seems to have figured out the simplest solution: just release them all twice. Iron Man’ s popular enough to pump out gold and yellows versions of all those classic armors and make everyone happy.

Although I’m still waiting on my gold Neo Classic armor.

Why are you trying to boo me? I'm right!

Also why are you trying to nearly double my action figure spending, because you know I'm buying them in both decos! Ask my 7 80th Anniversary Iron Men, 5 A.I. Iron Men, 2 Secret Wars Iron Men, 4 Modular Armors, 3 War Machines, 2 Silver Centurions.. I swear I can quit this hobby at ANY TIME.

I like my Iron Man in gold, thank you.

My stance on the issue is that all armors Pre-2000 should be Red and Yellow (or flat colors). All armors from 2000 and beyond can go either way. I am kind neutral on the War Machine/Silver Centurion though. I like the white ones for the consistency in the finish, but I think the Silvers translated to print much better than golds that weren't even close to gold and were actually just yellows did.
 
I'm curious...what if Hasbro did a white Silver Surfer with blue & black highlights? I mean, technically, that is how he was depicted for most of his comic appearances. I have a feeling most would balk at this, as would I, but I'm thinking with all the cell shading and comic-accurate paint schemes today, there would be some folks who would really like that.
 
Sooooo .... no matter what era it is yellow reads gold to characters in universe?

For the record I think they should make Iron Men both ways. But the idea that different mediums don't have to make adaptive choices to represent the same thing across their various forms is wild. Drawing is an artificial thing. The physical world isn't made up of lines; its made up of volumes. Comics are a notorious system of symbols akin to hieroglyphs. Wonder Woman's hair isn't blue, sound doesn't form giant letters, when people run real fast lines don't come out of the bottom of their shoes.

Really disappointed how they represented the White with Blue and Black Squiggly Lines Surfer in all these Marvel movies. Not at all how I pictured the White with Blue and Black Squiggly Lines Surfer all these years.

I think there definitely are folks who'd go for it. I think in large part the reason it hasn't been much of an issue previously for him is because the color you're supposed to "see" is directly in his name, so there's no argument to be had. Everyone imagines the same thing. You know Blackheart, Black Canary, and Black Adam's costumes/skins are all black because... well it's in the name, isn't it?

Yeah, and I think this is really the key to it all. No matter how much Black Canary is colored with a mostly blue costume, people want her in black. Characters who don't have such in their names tend to have people wanting them colored as they are in the comics. The best example of this I can think of is Moon Knight, as in all his early appearances his costume was described as silver (he was even supposed to have bits of silver woven in to the suit for combatting werewolves). Over the years though, due to him being primarily colored white with black (and sometimes blue) highlights, he was thought of as wearing a white costume. It's now even mentioned in modern comics that his suit is white, but that wasn't the case in those early appearances.

I tend to prefer the characters to be depicted in the colors they are SUPPOSED to be wearing, but I don't begrudge folks who prefer them colored as they are in the comics. I don't care for cell shading on figures for the same reason, but I know many love that.

First appearance Iron Man and his variant swirly grey plastic first appearance Iron Man.

I'm not against anyone getting what they want, I just have my preference.
 
White with blue highlights reads as Silver or shiny metal on Thor's helmet or Silver Surfer. Plus the extra squiggly lines. What things actually are and what they read as are not the same thing. I mean this is semiotics 101. A cat is not the 3 letters C-A-T. Comics multiplies this.

I always thought Moon Knight had a slight silver glimmer to his costume. Not the full on Silver Surfer shine. A sheen; like the Moon.

Omg years ago I saw a custom once on Figurerealm that featured Silver Surfer in the cell shaded paint job that was meant to look like the classic Joe Jusko graphic novel cover and it was absolutely breathtaking. I’ve wanted one ever since!
