Update: steampunk Iron Man costume actually the Tin Man

If you remember the steampunk Iron Man costume that won the Marvel Costume Contest Winner at New York Comic Con 2010? The suit was the Tin Man suit created for the short indie film Heartless. And the assistant to the director of the film repainted it, added some new touches and wore it to ComicCon.
One of the makers of the original film, Bill, writes;
"Just found out that the Tin Man suit was taken and modified into an “Iron Man” suit that won the costume contest at the NY Comic Con by my ex assistant. The suit was changed without my knowledge or permission and I’m royally angered by this action. It’s also sad to see that the only screen used version of the suit that exists, is now a cheapened knock off of a popular character. I don’t get people anymore and it makes me want even more to become more reclusive"
