Marvel Legends 6" Iron Man Marvel 80th Anniversary Figure Video Review And Images

Quote

I've been waiting a very looooooooooooooooooong time to finally do a battle between classic 70s/80s Ironman & the Sentinels. I always imagined what kind of a fight Tony put up during the classic "Days of future past" storyline where the Sentinels not only went after mutants, but all enhanced/superpowered beings & metahumans. I would imagine it woulda taken a handful of Sentinels to take out Ironman as 1 or 2 might not have been enough. I need to get another TB Sentinel but damn these scalpers want $175-200 for just 1! I really wish Hasbro would do a deluxe classic DOFP Sentinel in at least 12' scale with open hands/closed fists, eye beam & palm blaster FX accessories & an alternate BD head sculpt. I'd easily buy 3-5 at $69.99 a pop, plus that would make the asking price of the TB versions to go down if Hasbro were to make their own DOFP Sentinels. I would love if Hasbro were to make 2 different versions of the Sentinel. The DOFP John Byrne version & the Sentinels that went hunting for the new Mutants that had the ability to shot liquid nitrogen from the eyes to freeze/incapacitate mutants.

Vast majority are MCU related, this is only the 3rd time in the Toybiz/Hasbro era that a Bronze age classic 70s-80s Ironman figure has been done & they hit a massive HR this time! This is the definitive perfectly scaled classic Ironman. Unless you just collect MCU related figs, I really think you'd be regretting passing up this stellar version of classic comic based Ironman. The 2 pictured were great for their time but a tad on the thin side. The other pic is of the very 1st classic Bronze age Ironman done by Toybiz back in 2003 I believe, again, great for it's time but had Gorilla arms that would not go down to it's sides. They also made stealth versions of both the Toybiz & Hasbro versions as well. But as you can see in the 3rd pic, the new 80th anniv version takes the cake! I can see Hasbro giving us a stealth version of this one as well as this version of him with pointy mask helmet as well.

Great breakdown on the history of the figure and I'm in complete agreement about the 80th being the absolute, hands down, best version. I like the other ones as well and think they're great in their own way, but nothing is touching the 80th Anniversary Iron Man.

Although I would love to see him with the yellow instead of gold armorlike the 2 pack figure as featured above

Wouldn't mind 80th anniv AR style versions of all these armors in the background, not at all!

I have zero doubt Hasbro will be re-releasing him in his comic accurate colors sometime within the next 6-12 months! This figure screams Bob Layton to me!

Yup, this is a great Classic Ironman figure!

Can not wait to get this figure

Sharp looking figure, but I'll pass. I've lost track of how many Marvel Legends Iron Man figures they've made now.

I love how this Iron man looks! The helmet I prefer is the onethat's already on him. it's the one i remember the most as my definitive Iron Man. Also some added paint or a wash on the red parts would really make this pop.
