I....kind of really want this too! As a few here have already said, those flat colours are hitting the nostalgia spot pretty hard. I love the 80th version, it's one of my favourites, but this one feels more fun. Getting it!
Great review. For some reason I am really excited for this figure, even more than the ones from the iron man wave. I dont usually like getting 100 iron man suits but these are all different and unique. And something about the non-metallic yellow goes great with the blue eyes and arc reactor.
Still an easy pass
As much as I am an advocate for full on metallic paint on all Iron man figures, this figure makes sense with basic flat colors,in terms of it's comic book roots, because this is how Iron man looked in the comics for the most part, which makes it pseudo retro figure which isn't super great fit with modern A.I. gimmick but nonetheless this could more appealing thanoriginal releaseof this figure,

No use for A.I head so into storage with that one.
My only real concern is will Hasbro re-re-release him without the blue?
If Hasbro rerereleased him without the blue arc reactor I would probably pick up that figure. For now I'll hold off on this version.

pretty sure a repaint is inevitable, like I feel strongly that the new Modular Armor will one day see a classic colored version
Agreed. I'm almost positive we'll see those colors eventually.

This will definitely be on my Avengers shelf. I'm like most of you and that hologram head is going straight to the parts bin. Now. Any chance we could see a reuse of 80th Cap for those classic brighter colors to match this?

I really enjoy this sculpt and somehow I like that color scheme. Much more like the original comics. Also glad they fixed the biceps bs but im sure they fixed that from the second reuse of this buck. The blue is pretty neat and really makes it feel like a different figure but also can be interchanged as a regular ironman or a holo tony. Also love that his original head can fit on it. I do have the same concern that this is most likely going to be a buck being reused a few times with very minor tweaks and most likely without the blue in some kind of retro card or whatever else.

Agree totally. This one's going to be my new go to, at least until Mod. IM hits.
