Iron Man 2020
Hasbro - Marvel Legends
Jagged metal teeth, big shoulder cogs, belt gizmos...all over the excellent Marvel 80th Anniversary edition Iron Man sculpt. (Sorry, I never got around to reviewing that one proper...but he has popped up in other reviews.) The red and gold are amped up on this edition, and he features artist-appropriate (read: creepy) eyes behind the mask. He’s also got an extra set of hands for his power effects.
His blast effects kinda steal the yet-to-be-released deluxe War Machine’s thunder. The small hand blasts are nothing new, but the boot thruster cloud is. It comes in two pieces that fit together naturally to act as a stand. This new accessory really does add some value to a mostly repurposed armor. The only downside to the figure is no alternate Arno Stark head.
Speaking of streampunk, I also recently finished the Crimson Dynamo build-a-figure from the lackluster Black Widow movie wave. (I wonder if that movie ever came out in Iron Man 2020’s timeline?). He’s not the ideal, classic look of the character, but he’s big, bad, and totally rad. I dig the shoulder smoke-stacks and the translucent blue cooling tanks on his forearms. They really add to that Soviet 80s charm!
Also also...I picked up the Iron Monger BAF that missed out on as part of an all-Iron Man K-Mart wave some years back. (Does K-Mart still exist in Iron Man 2020’s timeline?). I got him on eBay during the height of Coronavirus hysteria, and didn’t notice the shipping address until I had it in-hand: New York, New York! Yikes!! Time for a bath, Obadiah! (Does Coronavirus exist in Iron Man 2020’s timeline?)
