Hey gang!! Been too long since I posted, but I'm back in the swing again!

Tonight I present Marvel Legends Iron Man 3 Mandarin complete with removable aviators, rifle, *In Chaos We Trust Cape*, and stand!

Well Ben Kingsley sure did a great job in his role as Mandarin! And as he threatened in the trailers, You'll never see me coming.

Started with a Nick Fury body and Gandalf arms, sewed up a hooded robe for him too! Fully sculpted head and I scratch built some aviators for him and made that cool cape he had in the promotional shots. I had to take some liberties with the graphics on the cape, but much of it is accurate.

Many more pics can be found in the auction listing, so go check them out!

The Mandarin was built using the finest acrylics, enamels, and lacquer paints and fully sealed for protection. The robe and hood are fabric, as is the sash. There are sculpted details including the vest and even the embroidered dragon on his left leg. He features details such as his ten rings, pistol tucked in his sash, and even the awesome cape he had in some of the promotional shots!

Thanks! I actually only had 4 reference pics to use prior to the movie release. The movie didn't really give me many details either. I'm proud of the cloak, but I couldn't make out all the phrases. 'Condemned through blood', and 'In chaos we trust' being the only definite correct slogans. Cheers!

This is freaking amazing!! Could this be done in 3.75" scale?

I don't see why not. I'd use 3.75 Gandalf upper on a GI Joe lower, maybe just cloth for the lower robe. Id even say you could use the Gandalf head with the hair shaven down. IM2 series Mandarin hands would complement it perfectly!

Thank you! Yeah, I really dig this look for Mandarin. Very detailed and different, and yet I still get the total Mandarin vibe. The glasses were a fun addition too.
