When Will We See A Modern Marvel Legends Silver Centurion Iron Man Figure From Hasbro?

Why they decided to redesign the backpack is beyond me. I'm gonna reluctantly purchase this & see if I can somehow find a way to customize/modify it as to eliminate the space gap. Has anyone on the ML Hasbro team even acknowledged this issue?

I am baffled at how they let this happen. Why? Why? Was there some rush to say this armor had to come out this month or something? I mean people have been hoping for this for years, now. Its easily one of the most requested suits out there. A little more time to get it right wouldve been just fine. I hear people talking about "bootlegs". This is what I would expect a boot leg to look like.

Are you really trying to tell me War Machine is easier to do than Silver Centurion? How do you use metallic red paint for Daredevil's armor but not use it for Iron Man? I guess I can live with the smaller shoulder pads but how did they get the backpack so wrong? Of course the worst offense is that head/neck thing and again, it looks like it could have been easily done correctly.

Yet another exclusive....as botched as it is, I wonder if it too will hard to get. I dont see it pegwarming....but I do think a lot of collectors are going to be disappointed with it and petition for a re-do.

This is exactly how I feel. I don't want to have to buy any more versions of any character that has already been made. My preference is to buy only previously unmade characters - but find myself having to buy re-treads far too often due to 2-packs or get a BAF I really want. That and only that is one reason I'd be fine with the BAF concept going by the wayside. I still want those larger figures, but I think that I'd rather just buy them outright rather than have to buy 3 regular sized figures that I wouldn't have bought otherwise. I also however am well aware that they have to make those A-listers to sell at retail and keep the line going.

You state you don't wanna buy any more versions that have already been made. But made by who, Toy Biz? Sorry , but the vast majority of those figures have not aged well at all & most actually look like crap compared to what Hasbro has done these past few yrs. In the past 10yrs, The technology to make better, more comic accurate ML figures has improved vastly. It's laughable when you do a comp pic of the old TB Ironman/ War Machine next to their Hasbro versions. I can probably count on 1 hand how many TB ML can still fit in with Hasbro ML figs & that's BAF Sentinel/Galactus& Giantman/Goliath along with Vulture , Green Goblin & Lizard.

Ironman sports many armors in the comics so he, more than any other Marvel character, rates numerous figures, unlike DP.

I was thinking we were suppose to see this figure come out this year perhaps, either way not to concerned about it, since I don't care, I don't think I need another Iron Man for a long time, 80th Anniversary fig was enough for me (although I did get that Stealth Invincible..as well oops)

I may be the black sheep here: I prefer that new characters are released. I don't like all those reissues (unless it's a major upgrade, like the one we had in the female figures - ex: Scarlet Witch). I love my ToyBiz Silver Centurion and will save some bucks if it's re-released.

Hopefully this year...but if not, included in an Iron Man wave for next year along with Mk42, Crimson Dynamo and Titanium Man BAF....take my money.

Oh, man. I'm dying for a properly accurate Model 42 Armor. Hasbro already has the 3D render, they just need to adapt it to Marvel Legends scale and articulation. And while I don't like theperpetuation of this armor using an MCU-styled helmet, I can't deny it's become an acceptable interpretation of this armor, so it'd be fun,it'd be fun if they released it with interchangeable headsculpts. One of the proper design and another of the MCU-stlyed helmet.

Silver Centurion and Neo-Classic Iron Man are the two figures I want the most that would reuse the 80 Years mold. Both are in need of an update, but Silver Centurion needs it the most, since Neo-Classic at least got its two figures during the Hasbro days, even if the scale and articulation was already outdated by the time they came out.

With Iron Man 2020 and War Machine already coming out, I wouldn't hold my breath for Silver Centurion coming out this year. However, I'm hopeful for next year, since any Iron Man figure that would reuse the 80 Years mold is a low-hanging fruit.
