Good way to complete your Hall of Armor especially since the SY ones are old and rare.
Also previewed it here!
First of all, I think MR brand is somewhat related to Dargo/DG/D Brand. What makes me say this? The hand molds and the head molds. The hand molds are very similar to Dargo's because both are thinner than usual (and weaker, hence the broken one in the picture) and has two of those rim things to attach to the arm.
In comparison to X brand's horrible hands. More in the review soon.
This MR set also came with mostly red transparent pieces instead of the usual light blue.
ML017 - Mark 21 MK21 Midas
ML018 - Mark 16 MK16 Nightclub
Some eye issues on Nightclub's helmet. Also, faded/blotted print on the middle of Midas' torso, sadly.
Honestly the print on these figs are alright. The plastic doesn't feel as solid as SY and XINH, but it's also different from the usual POGO/WM plastic. If you have any recent Dargo figs, especially the Dargo GOTG Vol. 2 set, they are quite similar.
Back print. Same comments about this.
ML019 - Mark 39 MK39 Starboost (Or Gemini)
ML020 - Mark 2 MK2
Same comments about the first two, except here you'll see that Starboost's design is more fine with thinner lines while for some reason, Mark II's design is thicker..
Same comments again. The heads are somewhat different from each other. Also, again, the head is similar to Dargo's in terms of quality; although arguable the face designs on the GOTG Dargo set are better.
Back print.
ML021 - Iron Patriot
ML024 - Rescue Armor Model 2
(Model 1 - Model 2 - Model 3)

Rescue Armor Model 1 actually has an obviously different helmet from Iron Man's, while Model 2 does have a helmet more similar, but still very different.
Obviously though, MR Brand still got it wrong though, it should be a silver helmet.
At least they gave the Rescue suit a Pepper face, even though her face seems off.
Back prints.
ML023 - Mark 35 MK35 Red Snapper
So yeah, instead of a Mark 5, I get another Red Snapper. The interesting thing is that both are different even though it's the same brand, supposedly. It seems like the one on the left was made by a machine with thinner lines? It's really weird. In terms of plastic quality, both are the same and the same with the others above too!
Even the face of the right has thicker lines too..
Back print. Same as Starboost above, except in red?
Also, I used a panel line marker to try and continue the "broken" line on Midas' torso. It doesn't look great, but it's better than how it arrived..
For me, it's an okay set, but only if you really really want these Iron Man figs. If you can though, stick with the old SY and/or Decool ones instead. What's not worth getting are the BJL Iron Man figs that are apparently X Brand..
Again, it seems that MR brand is the same as Dargo/DG because of the hand molds and the head molds' tint.
