Marvel Legends Black Panther 2018 Wave: Iron Man

He’s All New, He’s All Different, He’s International, He’s Invincible! and a bunch of other things, he’s Iron Man!  This is the Marvel Legends 6″ line’s first crack at the modern age of Iron Man.  This coming after 3.75″ tackled the character / deco last year. It made our list of top of 2017, the 3.75″ design team did an outstanding job with a lot less plastic than the 6″ team gets to play with here, so, how does it measure up?

The Good

  • My only real complaint with the 3.75″ Iron Man is addressed here, the arm blaster is removable!
  • Incredibly solid paint application here, the red is bright, the gold is page perfect, the glowing blues are glowing.
  • Alternate hands for repulsor blast and flight pose action, as well as closed fists.  
  • Iron Man includes two repulsor blast effects that fit in either his open hands or into his feet, look great as blasting or flight.
  • Let’s talk Tony Stark! A beautiful, comic accurate alternate unmasked head is included. This head is going to make this figure very hard to find, because it should be useable on quite a few different figure bodies.  
  • Solid articulation here, he’s got most of the modern day Hasbro articulation for 6″.
  • The sheen on the figure really enhances the metallic look and feel, this is a stunning looking figure.

The Bad

  • Love the figure, but the only knock falls once again on the arm blaster.  While this one is removable, getting it to stay on all the time is a little bit of a challenge.

The Rest

This is a fantastic take on Invincible Iron Man.  He’s got all the bells and whistles you’d expect, and he doesn’t include a build a figure piece.  Expect that this might be the most hard to find figure in the wave, for lack of BAF piece, and for an only one per case ratio.  Add to that, the fact that he comes with custom-maker bait in the unmasked head that will no doubt work and look great on quite a few different 6″ Iron Man figures out there.  He’s a must have figure, but I caution you not to waste time if you want him, you can get him well enough now, I don’t expect that to last.
