Funnily enough, the armor in the box art is not the Extremis Armor, but its predecessor, the Pentagon Armor. It's funnysad that not even Hasbro can avoid falling into the pitfall of conflating both suits.
I feel like you're the first person I've seen who's actually mentioned this. I've seen so many people refer to the Pentagon armor but call it the Extremis armor and it bugs me lol. And yeah, Hasbro really couldn't pick artwork of the actual Extremis armor for the box? Not sure what's up with that.
@@ballsackboi505 I think figure's based on the Model 24 suit. I was looking through those issues yesterday and they line up with some references I found.
@@freddieb2171 But he didn't. You know Hasbro are doing this shit on purpose, right? They put out an initial release with a less-than-ideal but still passable color scheme, and then a year or two later they release the version that probably everybody wanted in the first place.
Shoulder pads too, I wish this new figure had the pegged-in shoulder pads with move in and out like the old figure (akin to the newer Wolverine figures with shoulder pads)
I wonder if anything can be done to carve out the plastic inside the lower torso where the torso barbell joint is and the socket in the upper torso to increase the ab crunch
Marvel Legends has never made an accurate Stealth armor. They really should, as it's a beautiful design with unique boots, gauntlets, helmet, shoulder armor and backpack. It's anything but a cheap repaint!
This Iron Man design is another one of my absolute best armor looks for Tony Stark and even though he does look so really cool, I still will get the Ultimate Captain America to display him in my own Avengers display with the AI Iron Man, Great review erivera94
Another solid review man. I am one of the few people who prefer the paint swirled plastic because it results in far fewer QC paint application issues, and the colors usually match the different parts on the figure better.
Bend the grounded knee at the Bottom knee joint ONLY, keeping the top knee joint straight. Does this give the figure the height needed to straighten the leg up more?
This is a low end toy line, you don't get a full body paint job with metallics and a wash because that would punch up the price significantly. That's how that damn Black Series Cobb Vanth figure became a deluxe figure despite the standard size and amount of accessories. I'm good with the swirly plastic over paying deluxe price for a standard Iron Man figure.
Thank you for a great review! Though, I still think this is a bad representation of Extremis armor, and even though Extremis is one of my favorite armors, I will not be getting this one, because looking at it makes me upset.

@@JoeysEpicChannel Also wanted to point out that the pentagon armor was what the original toybiz modern iron man figure was based off of.
Isn't the Pentagon Armor the Model 25?

@@ballsackboi505 though it was based on an earlier, less recognizable pre-Adi Granov version of it.
Disappointed by the torso articulation. Should’ve added an ab crunch with the diaphragm
Those eyes look so real like there's light shining from the inside out
Looks like a really nice upgrade, the helmet is the only part in which I slightly prefer the old one tho
The one thing that older figure still does better is the color scheme. We'll probably get a more vibrant repaint at some point of this new figure.
💯 I was certain he would mention that also as a repaint.

@@collegerebel Yep, It took them getting me one time before I figured that BS out!

I wish they make that pentagon armor in the box art. Bulkier than the extremis.
I'm sure a repaint is coming out just like they did with modular iron man
I wonder if anything can be done to carve out the plastic inside the lower torso where the torso barbell joint is and the socket in the upper torso to increase the ab crunch
The colors on the first version look way better IMO but the new one is definitely better overall.
Ab crunch would have put this figure over the top.
80th cap is the better cap for civil war. He had the dark navy blue suit in that run
I really hope that they make a new comic Rescue now that we have this armor
Great review! Extremis Iron Man is one of my favorite armors!
This one and Molecule Man are my most wanted

La figura está genial ahora sólo falta que se fabrique las otras versiones tomando este modelo como referencia..
Can’t wait for the Sentient Armor coming out
I'll admit a blind box variant concept would be kinda cool, with this new packaging.
Please, don't give Hasbro the idea.
Could you please compare him with the recent Iron Spider? Thanks
Plz review the ultimate captain america figure next after this one.

This is an amazing iron man figure from hasbro

A winner 🏆🏆🏆🏆
Where is the ab crunch,bress?
Why is no one comparing him to Iron Spider? That fight scene was paramount to the civil war comics storyline.
Wow that articulation segment was painful to watch. Those shoulders won’t hold 90 degrees and that diaphragm joint is worthless
Hi erivera 👋😁
Hello 😊
No paint and the same repulsion effects we’ve gotten with every single iron man. Once again another Hasbro rip off.
0 out of 10
no ab crunch
Not a needed figure. Too expensive wave with some interesting figures.....but non fundamental. I feeling burglared by marvel again and again.
Looks cheap af
