"It looks like a shampoo bottle." Is probably the best description for how Hasbro's molded metallics look lol

Bloody right! 😂🤣

One of my favorite Armors ever, alongside the Modular armor from the 90s. I waited decades for a rendition of this Model 16, the Ross/Busiek armor. This one is was a pioneer in terms of being the first to show bits of a "plated armor" aesthetic. No other armor before this one attempted a more mechanical look for the metal components.

Hasbro doesn't do whats best for the figure. They do whats best for their budget.

@@thetempleton6622 it's a lazy issue. They can't be bothered to put in the effort for most figures, but then they will do one that looks and moves fantastically. They have the ability to do it, but they are more worried about what pieces can be reused a million times than they are making a good figure the first time.

People forget the Modular armor figure exists. That guy had great leg range without the dumb drop-down thing and an ab-crunch with no gaps. I swear to God, that figure wasn't designed by the usual guys at Hasbro because it's just way too good.

Q of the Day: The classic 70s armor will always be my favorite, but beyond that, I’ve always liked the Heroes Reborn armor as well as the Heroes Return armor seen here. I’ll be picking this one up along with Karnak, but that will be it for me as far as this wave is concerned. We’re at the point where character choice is the only real motivation for me to buy. It’s not unlike the early 80s where I finally quit reading and collecting comics for the first time because 85% of what I was buying was simply to maintain complete runs, not because I was enjoying the books.

thank u so much anthony for making our days. Just recently got out of a really toxic relationship and been going through some mental health problems. Seeing the video popping up helped me a lot

I like the latest Black Widow, Hawkeye, this Iron Man and some. I maybe in minority but i prefer the clean looking figure, not like early toybiz where they paint wash almost every part.

The Iron Man era that got me into comics. I never thought we would ever get a figure. Definitely a inbetween the classic and modern design. I do wish the glowing parts were a brighter yellow instead of the gold.

I think Anthony could make his motto, "...just make it a BALL PEG"

The 1970s Armor will always be my favorite. This is probably the only figure I’ll get from this wave. That was one of my fav stories if that era.

The model 4 armor is my favorite and his default armor when one if his more advanced suits get destroyed. Its the classic armor from Invincible Iron Man #1!

The backs of the hands are correct to not have any gold. Those hip pieces could maybe do with some, though that was inconsistent in the comics. And the kneepads could go either way. Sometimes they were part of the boot, sometimes they weren't. I think I prefer it the way it is on the toy. Anyway, Modular armour is my favourite look for sure, and my favourite Marvel Legend too. I got into Iron Man through the 90’s cartoon and then reading issues of that Len Kaminski run. Heroes Return is in my top 5. Now I just need an updated Neo-Classic armour and I’ll have Marvel Legends of all my favourites.

My favorite armor is Bleeding Edge. It's has the best balance of reds to golds, and between sleek and bulk. They are way past due for a redo of that

Silver Centurion armor and the modular armor.

“Hasbro refuses to do the right thing” lol. Nice review Anthony 💋

I can’t wait for the rest the wave reviews because there’s some real stinkers in this wave, that’ll make for entertaining content.

I did not mind the marbley plastic when they first started using it, but it looked better a few years ago than it does now. So even the quality of a plastic type kinda sank. Also, it was applied to characters that made sense, like Spider-Man 2099. It looked good on that particular figure, so it has its place, but I can't stand when a figure is not uniform to itself. If there is a gold effect, either go all in or go with an entire marble plastic. I hate hints of premium on a 90% cheap looking figure.

SILVER CENTURION IS MY FAV!

I like it but I already have the 80th anniversary and Modular ones. If it had better accesories or a different body to those, I would have a reason to get it. Good review as always.

@openitandplay4844

11 ай бұрын

Its body is different but the upper arms and thighs are the same as some other figures I think.

Watched solely for the Darwin cameo and was not disappointed.

This comic was sort of my first introduction to 616 ironman

As an answer to the QotD, this one. Model 16 is my favorite Iron Man, this is the armor he was wearing when I started reading comic books proper and during the legendary Avengers vol. 3. from Busiek-Perez, and of course during Iron Man vol. 3, drawn beautifully by Sean Chen there. Just amazing. This is a Kurt Busiek-Alex Ross collab design. I didn't knew that at the time but it explains why I love it so much, and it was featured pretty much anywhere Iron Man was featured at the time. In the X-Men Legends 2 videogame, you can unlock Iron Man as a secret character with this appearance. It's just very near and dear to me. I really miss when Iron Man armors looked like this, more actual superhero look instead of some car designer's fantasy, which makes no sense. The original armors were already as pliable as cloth when needed but the newer armors have to be robot-y looking because of the movies? Weird. I would just wish this figure had come with different color blast effects. The last 3 or so Iron Man's have come with that almost same yellow color. This Iron Man had green repulsor blasts in some parts of the source material (Avengers) so I would've gone with that just for the sake of giving something different. I don't miss the smoke effects that have come with other IM figures tbh.

Modular armor is my favorite , in marvel vs capcom I love that design

It's funny that they paint only the face plate, like they were saying "look what we are capable of!" and just don't paint the rest of the gold parts lol

I like Modular Iron Man

That's a good plot twist from Darwin

Silver Centurion Armor, hands down, has been my favorite since I was little.

Got mine and panel lined it. it looks great.

Mark I armor my favorite looks like something you’d see in World War I.

My favorite iron man suit is either heroes return or modular

Classic. Not the 1st Gold nor the all Silver but the Red/Gold(Yellow) with the discs on his hips and circular chest plate.

Thanks for your efforts on this Anthony. As far as non-MCU versions of Shellhead, well I am leaning towards the horned version we got on the 20th Anniversary variant. I understand the reasoning for the Hasbro score, I am just curious as to how it would score on your "for everything else but Hasbro" scale?

My favorite iron man armor is the extremis armor

The suit from Iron man armored adventures is my favorite bc of how slim the suit is

I think mine is the neo classic armor or modular armor

Does mine have a QC issue? My copy of the ironman has red eyes instead of black

It has to be the Silver Centurion, not only did it look amazing, it brought us through some of Tony Starks best stories, such as armour wars. As for this figures, I will pick it up on sale. I know it is broken record time, but getting Jada Ryu in hand, Marvel legends is embarrassing at this point.

That run of years from Michelinie/Layton through Denny O'Neil and back to Michelinie/Layton was legendary. The absolute best Iron Man comics have ever been.

This figure is almost a 10 out of 10, he needs small fixes but marvel legends for some reason can't do good on simple things

My favorite armor is always gonna be the pentagon armor/ model 25. For me it’s a perfect mix of realism and comic designs. Pretty sad we never got a really good figure of it. I mean there’s the armorize iron man but it’s really rare and expensive

I collect mostly Iron Man's so this is a must have for me, preferably at a discount. My favorite Iron Man Armor is the 80th one with the classic colors. I wish they would start doing new accessories for the iron man releases though. The repulser blasts are just boring now and might as well not even be an accessory if you own enough Iron man's.

Superior iron man/ mystic Ironman

My favorite suit is the pentagon model 25 armor. You know, the one Hasbro mistakenly put on the box of the extremis figure? Close second would be the modular suit as you said.

Model 02 is my favorite.

You should check out the ZD Toys Iron Man figures. Every figure that came out after the MK 3 armor is awesome from what I've seen, and I own the MK 3 figure too. Amazing action figure, and some of them even light up!

❤love the review as always ❤

Personally, I was fond of the Model 25 but looking at a nearly two decades later just makes it look so outdated with all its shapes. Since movie designs are out of the question, I'll go with the armor XM Studios designed for their Premiere Iron Man statue. It's just the classic armor with tiny changes for modern sensibilities, but the changes work and I'd argue are even better in that objective than Alex Ross' Model 70. Also hard agree with painted gold. The difference in quality between marbled gold plastic and actual paint is like the difference in action figure quality between Hasbro and Jada.

Darwin as Iron Man...brilliant.

In my opinion I feel like legends series definitely stepped up their game on the figures sculpts and especially head sculpts recently. I stopped collecting legends back in 2017 because the figures felt cheap and not worth it made wanna start getting imports I would buy figs here n there but now I got back into it but only collecting comic figures now but they just look so good to me. I recently got gray hulk 2 pack I was amazed and extremely satisfied

I don't think you have Deathlok figure from the Sasquatch wave, however his ab crunch would work for you to use as an example of no gap needed on a good articulation

Modular armor all the way since its my first toybiz figure and the design is awesome

I don't know this armour but ut looks pretty good. The figure looked decent till you showed how out of scale the upper and lower legs are. All hands need hinges! My favourite Iron Man armour has to be Silver Centurion. I have a soft spot for the classic Stealth version too.

Jim Lee's inspired Heroes Reborn also believe lron Man figures should be slightly bigger than Captain America bucks but smaller than Thor as Tony Stark is wearing armor.

It has gotten to the point where i refuse to pay retail for Marvel Legends. Its a clearance only line for me now.

Phew! I heard from Tha Rukkus already that it was pretty solid but I'm glad to hear your opinion is similar!

Modular Armor, particularly mvc2. if only hasbro would make a properly beefed-up modular iron man!

Mister Anthony, I could not agree more with your thoughts-this figure is nice (for Marvel Legends standards, that is) and I do fancy it; however, we know [that] Hasbro can do better. For starters, more paint applications would do this Iron Man figure wonders. Blimey! That molded, marbled gold on Iron Man’s limbs does look like a bottle of shampoo! 🤣 As for the Question of the Day, I must say that I, too, fancy the Modular Armour Iron Man, followed closely by the Extremis Armour. I appreciate that suit’s sleek design; it is similar in colour (gold & red) with most armours, of course, yet the Extremis armour is drastically different from its predecessors as it features an advanced design and a smoother surface plate than the regular Iron Man armours. Please know that I always appreciate the bloody insightful reviews! 👍 Excellent stuff, mate! 🙏 Grazie! Arrivederci, Giovanni Marino, M.D.

I like classic original Iron Man and Extremis

Bleeding edge was my fav

I like this look, will swap the head though

The big grey iron lung suit 👍🏾

I remember reading there was a mandate in Toybiz to have a new Wolverine in every figure run. So Hasbro knows Spider-man, core Avengers, and core X-men sell best.

nice review

I have to go with Modular Armor, too. Mostly because Marvel vs Capcom got me into Marvel to begin with
