Iron Man figures

Wreckgar · 03-13-2008, 05:34 PM

TRU.com had them up and apparently realized their mistake because they are now gone. But so far, good times. Mark II is loose in the hip balljoints. But otherwise a pretty solid assortment. The rubbery plastic is surprisingly sturdy. Been playing around with the smaller figures. Wife yelled at me already for hitting the botton on the big guy "I am Iron Man" to many times.

Also, the little gold circle for the snap on armor one doesn't fit anywhere. I have no idea where it goes. Wierd.

So here's the breakdown

Mark I - surprisingly detailed. he's a bit of a brick of course but the mold has a lot of detail, just mnot washes. That I may have to fix. Not a fan of the

Mark II - already stated he is loose in the legs but that's probably a figure by figure issue. The silver is very nice and the yellow decals are a nice touch. Also, double arm blasters is alwasy good. Removable shoulder caps on this one.

Mark III - Same figure as the Mark II but in the colors Iron Man is known for. Again, a nice figure. Removable shoulder caps as well.

Prototype - The detachable armor. Great figure, probaly my favorite. No unnecessary arm blaster and the armor doesn't look odd when attached. Nice depiction of Tony under the helmet as well. Only thing is that gold circle. I think it goes in the chest but it doesn't fix. I'll figure it out eventually I guess.

Iron Monger - A decent toy. Nice a big. Nicely detailed and surpringly articulated dispite the size. Not a big fan of the "twist the waist, arms go up" feature but it also really doesn't hinder the toy.

Lots of pics later. For now, here's 2.

All together now

Apparently these are out in Canada.

My mum saw this thread and told me one of her coworkers had seen (and played with) the big Ironman... at SEARS of all places.

Also, Wreckgar: What are your thoughts on the biggie Ironman? Is he anygood? Is he worth it?

About that little circle piece on the Mark II, could this be it? I saw it on The Fwoosh, another toy forum:

BTW, for anyone who gets the snap-on armor Iron Man, BEWARE the chest circle piece. There's two that pop out of his chest, you can only put one in at a time. There's a little button on his back that you press to pop one out and switch them. They get lost very easily as they pop out unexpectedly. Since I'm a little rusty on Iron Man and have yet to see the movie, I don't understand the point of the switchable chest/heart piece.

Which one's your favorite, Wreckgar?

Also, when are these due in stores?

Nice! Might have to pick up the big one, he looks pretty sweet!

I've read that the street date is March 22nd, although some random Toys R Us's have been putting out the figures early.

Also, for those who might not know, Wal*Mart is getting an exclusive Mark III repainted as War Machine, while Target's exclusive is the Mark III repainted in the Silver Centurion scheme.

Wreckgar you've just convinced me. I've GOT to get one of those Repulsor Power versions.

BTW. How many points of articulation are on it?

Anyone else ordering from Hasbro Toy Shop?

One more question.

Does it come with some sort of stand?

I'd like to pose it "in flight".
