Review: Omega Factor War Machine

Don't ask me what an "Omega Factor" is, because I don't know. What I do know is that this redeco of the Movie Version of War Machine looks like a mass-produced, Army-approved version of War Machine. Like his patriotic companion I reviewed awhile back, there isn't much new with the figure except for the paint job.

This War Machine, abandoning the traditional gun-metal grey/silver, features a metallic olive color with silver and black trim. I personally feel that using both silver and black make the figure's design a little too busy. Also, adding some camo over the whole thing might have made it look even cooler. The paint job overall is pretty solid. You may be able to see in the picture the tiny slits of red painted on his chest and legs.

War Machine comes with the same accessories as the previous figure. A for-show gatling gun and gun belt and a larger "working" gatling gun that fires a red projectile. Pictured is obviously the more realistic attachment. The gun belt really limits the posing of the weapon, so use it only if you want it.

"Omega Factor" War Machine is fun alternative to the movie figures. He shares a lot of the same articulation as the Patriotic Iron Man, and is definitely more colorful. My only gripe is that his arms were a little loose for a new figure. He is a Kmart exclusive along with the previously reviewed "Iron America" (or Captain Man) and a translucent Mark V. B
