Vibranium Arc Reactor clarification

[MiamiLoco]

I need some Iron Man Arc Reactor experts to clarify something for me. From my understanding, there are two different Vibranium Arc Reactors. One is created in Iron Man 2 (Mark I) and the other is seen in Iron Man 3 (Mark II).

Are all these 3 the same?

No, there are clear differences in all 3 as seen in the pictures you've posted.

Thanks for the reply. So which one is which?

Top is iron man 3, bottom might be avengers, last might be iron man 2

Not saying your wrong, but the top one has been labeled "Iron Man 2 Arc Reactor" by the licensee, so...?

The one labeled as Iron Man II is most definitely NOT the Iron Man 2 arc reactor, which is the second lit up one.
It's hard to tell which is the one from avengers and Iron Man 3 though, since he has his shirt on through all of those movies

In fact the one from Avengers appears to be the same one as from Iron Man 2, with the other two both looking like they're trying to mimic the iron man 3 arc

I believe the first one was a poor attempt at the IM2 arc but coincidentally ended up looking like the one in IM3. I recall people complaining about the major inaccuracies of the Museum Replicas when it first came out, prior to IM3. The second one is the Toy Legends arc replica based on the IM2 and Avengers version. The third and last is the Lager Toys arc which is actually based on the IM3 design, since the product has Mk42 in the title. The one shown in the film didn't have that level of detail but I believe this replica is based on the more detailed rendering in the Art of IM3 book, IIRC.

Thanks for all the replies!!

After more research, I think all of those are the Vibranium Arc Reactor Mark I (seen in Iron Man 2).

This is the Vibranium Arc Reactor Mark II, from Iron Man 3:

Unfortunately, nobody has made a light up display replica, only USB flash drive and other things.
