Iron Man Mark II Armor, public display

[TK1536]

I saw something on the news this past weekend about an exhibit at the MET Museum in New York, and they have the Mark II armor on display.

They also had a SpiderMan suit and some Batman ones, too. I may have to take a train ride up to check this out. Also, if anyone local can go and get pictures, that would be awesome!

It's times like this I actually hate living in Cali!

If anyone can snap pics, 100 internets to them.

There was a thread on this a few weeks ago. The MET won't let you take any pictures and they're pretty dang strict about it.

Just don't be surprised if security escorts you out if you get caught. I've seen them get pretty nasty on several occassions about much less.

y'know.. i find that ridiculous.. I've taken pictures (without flash) in the louvre of the mona lisa.. and the security guards there said nothing.... I can understand if they get nasty if people rolled in there taking pictures with flash potentially damaging the "work of art" by fading the color - but I can't believe those security guards would get nasty over iron man...

what is the world coming to... sigh...

either way, i'll schedule a trip this weekend.. i'll see what I can do. worse comes to worse, I'll get pics of the security guards hand reaching for the camera :lol

If nothing else, please get some mental notes for me, I'd greatly appreciate it.

I noticed that one of the pictures on the official site show the finish on the abs actually pulling away from the surface, with a big air pocket in there. I'd just like to know if the hard armor has the same covering (a metallic film applied over the surface) or if it's a noticeably different material.

Is it just for that exhibit? I was there in October, and as long as my flash was off, I could take pics to my heart's content.

Their armory is cool. Did you see the mermaid helmet there as well? Beautiful sculpture.
