Marvel Legends 6" Classic Stealth Iron Man Figure Video Review And Images

I want to see them do Sunturion. That would be wild, to get him into an action figure.

After this wave, the only two Iron Man armors I want are a redone Neo classic armor (so I can put the vintage wave version out of its misery), and a first appearance grey armor. I'm sure a lot of collectors already have a version of that armor that's serviceable but I would like them to whip up a new one... and they can get two different figures out of the same buck; repaint him gold for the Avengers #1 variant.

I'm in agreement with the 2 you want but have to add pointy mask version, the heroes return armor & 80s space armor and galactic storm space armor!

"...Im sure Hasbro and many other companies look at it as its soooo close to the classic armor, that they can easily get a pass by just recoloring without the extra labor of adding the backpack, redoing the head and bracers on his legs and arms..."

True, and they also know that if they make a Stealth armor figure, totally comic accurate, 2 years or so down the line, virtually everyone who bought this one will buy that one.

I'm not necessarily hating on them, just saying they didn't have to go the lazy route. I mean at least sculpt on the backpack unit because that's what houses the main stealth components/radar wave modifier. But you pick your battles. They haven't yet made an accurate classic Vision, but since I don't know if they ever will, I've bought the ones they have made. The fans who are disgusted with their work on Stealth and Silver Centurion are completely justified. The fans who werent 100% happy, but picked them up, thats cool too.

This is the artwork for the first appearance of the Stealth armor. As you can see the stealth figures made so far don't match the original suit.

Thanks for the pics, it definitely helps paint the picture as to what they are missing. Im sure Hasbro and many other companies look at it as its soooo close to the classic armor, that they can easily get a pass by just recoloring without the extra labor of adding the backpack, redoing the head and bracers on his legs and arms.

As for the digital mock-up that monron mentioned, @EvilHayatohere it is, for reference:

Yeah that helps alot as to what he should look like. Its definitely a phoned in adaptation but its close enough imo and man do i love that deep dark shade of blue. Ive always been a sucker for stealth armor iron man due to that simple feature.

I too skipped the video but I thought the side by side were showing the crotch busted out on the figure on the right, apparently quite a few reviews show this happening on their Stealth Iron Men.

overall, I find the figure striking. I see what many are saying in that its not comic accurate but this is close enough for me. Wouldnt mind the two tone that the junky Retro figure has either.. something about the shades of blue appeal to me.

but... it would be nice if Hasbro did put the effort in to make this one truly unique. Imagine the appeal if this guy wascomic accurate, hed really stand out on our shelves

Had Hasbro gone the extra mile and made the stealth armor comic accurate, I'd have added him to my classic IM armory, alas, I will now repaint both repulsor blast hands in Guardsmen colors & have 2 of my 5 Guardsmen blasting away at SCIM.

I kind of wish I didn't go on these forums so much because I didn't even see the inaccuracies / still looks good but that sucks

It does look good! One other inaccuracy is that the unibeam is red ...but guess what, I love that thing, I'm gettin that thing.

I think its safe to say that those of us that have pointed out the errors are just saying we know they can do better. I mean just look at Maverick and War Machine, for example. They were like off the page perfect. And they're not simple figures either; both are very intricate.Both the Stealth and Silver Centurion figures could've been just as good with just a little more attention to detail.

Pretty much everybody here has said everything I would have said, but yeah. This figure looks good on its own, but not as an accurate interpretation of the Stealth Armor. Since the sculpt isn't salvageable I will try to at least make it color-accurate by using one of those tutorials in YouTube on how to dye action figures black. Then I will paint the faceplate sockets vibrant red and hopefully it turns out good.
