They would make it hard to resist if they did do more classic Avengers. These look amazing but, yeah, their cost make them unattainable.

Wouldnt it figure if MAFEX was the first to give us Wonderman in his Safari Jacket?

Better yet, 1st app version!

Anyone think this will just be a one off & no other classic Avengers will be made such as Thor, Cap, Vision?

I wish they'd cease with the stupid nose facemask and give him the horn head facemask instead! The photon canon was stupid to include & will cost this otherwise great figure from being purchased by even more IM fans due to the 50% price hike. I'd love to see Mafex do classic Thor!

Yes it's obviously better than Hasbro but considering price and how good both version from Hasbroare I would have to go with ML version, it would be even easier if ML version was pinless.

I saw the article in here, but not an accompanying thread for it. So I figured to bring up the new images for MAFEX's classic Iron Man here. The price point is pretty steep, but I have to admit this figure does everything I wish Hasbro had done. The visible eyes under the faceplate, the more Bronze Age-looking Tony headsculpt, the roller skates.

On top of that, it comes with a Proton Cannon. Considering this weapon doesn't fit with classic Iron Man, it feels almot like it was done purposefully for Hasbro's modular Iron Man. My only complaint about this figure is the alternate faceplate. Just to play along with the ridiculousness of the roller skates, I wish it they had given him a proper nose instead of the Alex Ross-style nose indentations. Even though by no means Hasbro did a bad job with their classic Iron Man figures, I can't help but feel like this one is the definitive classic Iron Man.

The price point does hurt, and on top of this MAFEX has other Iron Man-related figures in the pipeline, but I feel like I can't just not have it. At least the June 2022 release date means I can make a "MAFEX Iron Man fund" so it doesn't hurt as much when I pull the trigger.

Don't forget the classic Iron Man too:

I love that you can see the eyes inside the faceplate. That's one detail I sorely missed from Hasbro's version of this armor. The MK 85 Iron Man looks incredible. I hope the likeness is exactly like that in the final product.
