The Iron monger is about 9 feet tall. The Hulkbuster MK I is 11 feet tall. So the scaling issue is for both mechs. The Hulkbuster is two big figs tall which is wrong. Realistically they should all be about the height of the lego Igor suit. They just wouldn’t make it look good in that scale.
In the scene where Obadiah is examining the armor he is on a step ladder. I believe you can see it in one of the shots. But in the fight you can clearly see it’s at least twoish feet taller than Iron man.
In a way it's similar to the hulkbusters where Lego can't seem to get the size just right but they've managed to fit detail in and that matters to me so I'm happy.
Nah! If you want Scale go get some Marvel legends or something. Mechs are great at this size in Lego. Theres a reason Igor got trashed to hell and back. Its too small to have enough detail without a ton of stickers or prints
The glow in the dark arc reactor surprised me! I like how the pistons work with the movement of the arms, and I love the mark III suit as well as the helmet that opens. Thanks for the review
My ideal set for this would’ve been an iron monger who was the size of a big fig and a build where the arc reactor was. Regardless I’ll still be buying this set
I just got this set and I have to say that iron monger came out much better in person than he looks on camera. Was a little skeptical of his size and wide shoulders before buying it however now that I have him built and posed I think he looks really good.
Back in 2008 I made my own Mark III minifigure with the help of a red Sharpie. Since Mega Bloks/Construx had the Marvel license at the time Iron Man 1 came out, Lego making an official Mark III minifigure felt like it was never going to happen. Up until this point they were only focused on making sets on whatever MCU movie was coming up next, I never thought they'd ever end up making sets from the years that they missed from 2008-2011.
In my opinion it looks all right, my biggest issue is how scaled up it is. I mean this thing literally looks like it could battle your hulkbuster if you have one, verses in the actual movie it was just a big suit of armor. Still a good set for what it's worth though.
@@joshuaxd65 Nowadays, maybe, because originally there were complaints about an overuse of gunmetal in sets. Similar to an overuse in gold pieces today. Primarily from Bionicle fans, there were complaints from 2006-2010 about *every* set having gunmetal grey in it. Me growing up as a Bionicle fan, and not a System enjoyer, I'm used to gunmetal grey receiving more complaints than appraise.
I've been studying this set ever since I got it to make my infinity war hulkbuster better. The legs, arms and ankles are finicky on the hulkbuster. This is my favorite set in the infinity saga that I've got so far
Size be darned the design is so good and I need it on my shelf pronto. I really just love the aesthetic and overall look. Plus it’s an iron man 1 set! Something I’ve wanted since I was a really young kid.
So about the height of mecha dude. Essentially it's smaller than a hulkbuster. Same size as hulk so ideally it's the big fig from Lego marvel avengers that can open like the knock-off hulkbusters. Then the build is the arc reactor. Or like something from Tony's workshop despite not being accurate but that's cool and this same wave has thanks locked in a prison cell
It's a good set, and great to see Lego give the earlier films some representation. Though the whole thing is oversized, the head itself looks comically too big. Definitely on the list to buy come August.
I only wish the chest can open like the war machine and age of ultron hulkbuster sets. Because in the movie the helmet and chest open, not all the way but you can see Obie’s torso, that would have made this one of if not my favorite marvel under 1000 piece set ever.
What do you think of this really important set?
Beans are not important
You are awesome
Bit to big not to scale
they should make more saga sets, but I dislike the core build of the ironmonger.
@Kirsten Ash I am also going to buy a copy of this lego set
As someone who's always wanted an Iron Monger set.... This is incridible
Agree it is
really oversized but I still want it
Ive been wating for this since i was 5
The main thing is that the shoulders are too wide
I love it as well and I can’t wait to hopefully get it as well cus mk 3 is my favourite suit
Im guessing you cant see any hulk buster recycling in there cant you the chest is most noticeable.
"Impressive! You've upgraded your armor! I've made some upgrades of my own!"

"You tried to rid the world of weapons! But instead, You gave it it's best one ever! And now... I'm gonna kill you with it"
" How did you fix the ice problem? "
You ripped out my targeting system!
Can you do a size comparison between this and the hulkbusters
@Mando Studios 20
Its around 5 CM bigger then the newest hulkbuster
TONY STARK BUILT THIS IN HIS BASEMENT!!! WITH SOME BRICKS AND AN INSTRUCTION BOOKLET!!!!!!!
😂😂😂😂
I get that
I understood that reference
- -Captain america in the avengers movie
It looks like a good build
It's just twice as tall or more than it should be.
4 times
Yeah, it’s huge!

Love that we get a ‘box of scraps’ in this set
I'm sorry, I'm not tony stark

I’ve only ever collected Lego Star Wars, but occasionally I dip into other themes when I see stuff like this!!
This set is making me really want to watch the first Iron Man movie again!
I’m actually surprised they haven’t done an iron monger set before this one.
I don’t think they could because they only got the license for Lego marvel in 2012
They were then only allowed To release sets from 1 film a year.
:)
@@finnjewitt5442 and also, they started making MCU sets once AOU dropped.
They did have Iron Monger in the Lego Avengers game.
@@Son_Joe_Productions And the Igor suit too.
@@Rosales3269 no they were making sets 2012 when Avengers 1 came.
I love how a “Box o’ scaps!!!” in this set!
@@blobby4020 *in a cave, with a box of scraps
@@bandawin18 I'm... Im sorry sir but not tony stank
@@derp-7274 I am Iron Man.
"I've never had a taste for this sorta thing. But i must admit, i am deeply enjoying the suit!"
To make this set accurate, just build an Iron Man suit at the accurate height.
I think the best example of a realistic “human like” mech was the mr.freeze suit
True true
Yes yes
Petition for Ash to do a video downsizing this set with only the pieces included in the set
Yes
Yes
I’m happy that we finally got Iron monger but he’s too big he should be the same size as the Igor suit or the Hulk big fig
If it was that big the build would suck, just look at how igor turned out
@@lonewolf9578 you said suck lol
@@ralphsweetman8244 really? what else would work there?
@@MrJlee93 oh yeah, I just realized I read it wrong and thought he ment sick
@@lonewolf9578 ik but Iron monger is not that big he’s probably the same size as Igor
I glad we got an iron monger, but it’s to oversized
I think it would've been better if it was Igor sized, but I still like it.
Aye
Hey dude ^^
Nah! If you want Scale go get some Marvel legends or something. Mechs are great at this size in Lego. Theres a reason Igor got trashed to hell and back. Its too small to have enough detail without a ton of stickers or prints
Absolutely they could have made it £15 and just include Iron man in mark 3 armour and Obadiah Stane 😀😀😀😀
@@flynnjamison8321 Have you looked at £15 sets lately? Iron Monger doesnt deserve that.
The glow in the dark arc reactor surprised me! I like how the pistons work with the movement of the arms, and I love the mark III suit as well as the helmet that opens. Thanks for the review
0:56 lol I love those quick little impressions you do, they sound just like the original
It's out of scale, but I'm still gonna ask my dad for this on Christmas. I love that Obadiah Stane and Iron Man Mk3 figure.
My ideal set for this would’ve been an iron monger who was the size of a big fig and a build where the arc reactor was. Regardless I’ll still be buying this set
I'd be interested to see a size comparison between iron monger and hulk buster

The extra iron man blast your ment to build is for iron monger
I got it yesterday. It looks very good.
Nice build by the lego designers but one question how'd they solve the icing problem?
My favorites it's Lego Marvel Studios 2021 lnfinity Saga lron Man lron Monger Mayhem Set
I love this set
This Set just makes me so happy when I see it. I don‘t care if it is oversized It’s an MCU Set and even and Iron Man Set 😱
Can you solve the freezing problem?
definetly going to use that obediah head for the dude
This set is amazing
The top half of mine doesn't stay attached to the bottom
Obadaiah's head is extremely useful for Tron fans as well
Yes, they have the Iron Man set

Do you think the igor suit build is good for Iron Monger?
Planning to get this set and Make a MOC from it :D
Never thought I'd hear someone say they're actually excited for gunmetal grey pieces.
I love them.
They are pretty rare for lego so they are really good everytime they come in a set

Iron Monger basically Hulk Buster Mk 1
I got this for my birthday today pretty cool set
Number 3
I am going to get this lego set for my birthday this year
I See tons of videos about a micro vertion or alternative build
I'm definitely gonna get this set as soon as I can. Iron Man is one of my favorite movies, so I'm really glad we finally got a set from it!
this is slightly better than last year's hulkbuster
*slightly*
I've been studying this set ever since I got it to make my infinity war hulkbuster better. The legs, arms and ankles are finicky on the hulkbuster. This is my favorite set in the infinity saga that I've got so far
Finally someone made a good Iron Man 1 merch! Thanks Lego!
I like the new helmet better
It will be interesting to see what they'll do for Iron Man 2
That is if they do it
I want a Mk 4 Iron Man and Mk 1 War Machine, so hopefully they do an Iron Man 2 set!
@@jaidenw675 indeed
The box is also a reference to "a box a scraps"
Should have given ob a thanos head from the final battle so it would be a similar size to the mech head.
The is a nice set even though I have the recent mark 3 I will pretend that this suit is the mark 4 since marks 5-7 have the old Helmet.
Flash of the Ash
It looks so much better than does on the box
Wasn’t sure about getting this before, definitely am now
The Iron Monger should be the same size as the Igor armour from 2019
Any news on dc sets?
I love this set so much and glad LEGO went back to the first Iron man and especially the Iron man mark 3
Great set, love the little glow in the dark piece
I expected it to be the size of the infinity war hulk buster. It’s big but it’s doable. I still like it.
Everyone’s glad they getting an iron monger, but I’m happy about the classic iron man helmet
Honestly, that pepper head and hair would look great on a Mary Jane minifig
Size be darned the design is so good and I need it on my shelf pronto. I really just love the aesthetic and overall look. Plus it’s an iron man 1 set! Something I’ve wanted since I was a really young kid.
I feel like this thing should've come with a proof that tony stark has a heart, like a sticker on a flat stud or something
Can you do a video in how to scale him down?
Now we just need Mk 4 to complete the 1-7, 42-50, and 85 Iron Man set of armor minifigures!
Please, I beg you make a tutorial on how to build a smaller version of the iron monger
I'm getting this the black panther dragon flyer and the avengers final battle set for Christmas and I can't wait!
Is that a new piece for the head?
Nah it's a shoulder pad piece with printing on it to make the face.
2:02 didn’t you have the ninjago empire dragon from s12
This thing looks bigger than the hulk buster. Thst glow in the dark thing is really cool

6:29 You could say thats a box of scraps 🤣🤣
😂😂😂
@@Ashnflash 😂😂😂😂
Outnumbered
AAAAH THIS LOOKS BUSSIN😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩😩
uh.. i think you put the arc reactor sticker upside down...
i think it should of been around igors size and matbe have the arc reactor, wuth the breaking glass scene. but its still a very good set.
But then the build would look like the Igor. remember how many people hated that
@@MrJlee93 yeah i agree i just thought that it could be around te size of igor (maybe a little bigger) but not be designed like igor
It's a good set, and great to see Lego give the earlier films some representation. Though the whole thing is oversized, the head itself looks comically too big. Definitely on the list to buy come August.
I’m definitely tearing that apart for my rhino mech
Perhaps you should try and make the iron monger suit smaller?
it is finally here
I only wish the chest can open like the war machine and age of ultron hulkbuster sets. Because in the movie the helmet and chest open, not all the way but you can see Obie’s torso, that would have made this one of if not my favorite marvel under 1000 piece set ever.
This set looks great. Great video, keep up the good work. Hope everyone is having a nice day.
If you can get past the fact that it is not not to scale it is actually a pretty solid set
The iron monger in lego dorm is basicly a 2020 hulk buster in gray with slightly modified
This is basically a giant version of the mark I
That's what Iron Monger was in the movie. Obadiah got the Mk 1 from the desert and made it into a Hulkbuster.
When they did MK 1 I wished it was a bit more buffed, but this is not what I meant
You can use the age of Ultron hulkbuster to make it look like the iron monger isn't super tall
What really irks me is that there’s never been a set with Abomination from Hulk even tho he’s been in 2 games and one short
Tony stark built this in a cave with a bunch of scraps
Big fig Iron Monger for future sets?
Definitely getting this one. Hope we get sets based on the rest of Phase 1.
cant wait to buy this compound and advent calender
I kinda find it creepy that once he turns the lights back on, Obadiah Is gone
It's not as bulky as the movie, but it's still cool
It’s a lot bigger than the movie though
@@SiIIy_ yea that too
TONY STARK WAS ABLE TO BUILD THIS IN A CAVE WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS >:(
I just ordered that set it's a pretty cool set
