Ironman advice!

Hello!

IRONMAN ADVICE!!
So I'd like to make an Ironman doll for my daughter, perhaps for Christmas because I want to make her a few other dolls to.

I was sitting, staring at the Ken doll I'd purchached for the project, plotting where I'd DRILL THROUGH HIS CHEST, and wondering just how I'd fit an led and a battery in him when I realized something.
Ironman's suit is supposed to be powered by his pretty blue light, which shines through his suit in the approperate place, however, he usually is wearing clothes under the suit!! So, first, how does his suit plug into his pretty blue light through the clothes? Secondly, why don't you see a thin layer of fabric over the pretty blue light when he's wearing his suit, and last but not least, how the hell am I going to replicate that in a doll?

Should I just put a light in the suit?
Should I put one in his chest AND one in the suit?

Perhaps his suit is not powered by the pretty blue light IN his chest, but a second pretty blue light in the suit?

I need information from nerds more nerdier than myself!! PLEASE HELP!!

WHY IRONMAN? WHYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyyiiiiiiieeee?

Thanks!
Breezy

Well the light on the iron man suit is not actually the same one in his chest, though the one in his chest powers them. Second, how it connects depends on the specific suit, some hook directly into his skin, as for the leds...sorry I'm the wrong guy lol, welcome though!

Its the same light in his chest as in the suit, but it has a cover on it.



He also wears a special nano suit like out of Crysis under the armour the suit has a hole in the center for the light to poke through.

Pure conjecture of course, it just appears that way from the video.

So to answer your question, put the LED in his chest, cover him in spandex with a tiny hole, on the suit have a small clear plastic circle over his LED.

Easy done

The suit actually aren't nanos, yet, thats coming soon, but you are correct on the undersuit interfacing with the exterior and the part of the suit and the part in his chest are the same tech but not the same piece

I have to disagree with you, the copper wiring around the circle on the chest would be closer to a transformer then an LED, the waves given off by his chest light is being transfered to that ring in the same way a transformer can glow when amperes are transfered to voltage.

Welcome to the forum.

As far as Iron Man goes, I find it best not to ask questions and just enjoy the badassery.

Thanks for the welcome Matty_poo!
Great idea with the spandex SIlhouette, I'll have to try that.

You know, SpleenBeGone, I wouldn't question if I wasn't trying to emulate it.
*Sigh, knowing how a magic trick is done ditracts from the magic for me. I'd much prefer to gawk with the wide eyes of a child than "figure out how it's done."
As a side note, before I decided to join this forum, I was so amused by your posts and almost put you as a refrence in hopes you got some sort of reward for refering people, but I thought twice about it in case you'd be confused by some weird chick you don't know saying you'd refered me.

First challenge, glowy Ironman! Second challenge, really metal 6 scale Mjolnir!
I love having a daughter who's into superheros.

Thank you all! You guys are great!

Yeah I would have spent some time trying to figure that one out. >.>

Also, I remember a scene where he's wearing a shirt with a circle cut out around the arc reactor. Maybe the suit has a cutter deal in it?

Haha! a cutter would have been awesome! In the second movie he takes off his Ironman suit during a show and he has a tux underneath that isn't cut or even glowy!
Do you remember what movie you saw it in?

My daughter is most enamoured with the Super Hero Squad Ironman, who's suit is very cartoony and generalized so it's easy for me to just pick a suit for the doll, as long as it has "a triangle heart." . . . I don't even think the Super Hero Squad Ironman even takes his suit off ever.

I think I'm going to end up making a light in the doll and the suit with perhaps a putting pressure button deal in the suit so it turns on as long as he's wearing it.
