“What’s going on down there Tony?” Had me crying!! 😂
Those eyes 👀 just makes this Ironman perhaps the best so far .
It looks simply out of the comic books 📕💥💫🦾👍🏽💥
Great review! “Diamond Cutter!” LOL
I love this figure. It’s my favorite Iron Man by far, and maybe toy of the year for me. I’ll never use the proton cannon, so I dont even consider how difficult it is to utilize. This is also one of the only figures I own that I display with the unmasked head more often. The Tony head and neck is just perfection to me.
When I got mine in, I didn't have high expectations really. There was just buzz online about this being a bit underwhelming in some in-hand shots, and I really only got him because Thor and Cap are coming. But man... it surprised me. Love the gloss, love the shading and love how they nailed all the classic design elements, it's just fun. The old-school shoulder hinge just works so well for this design.
My only gripes are the very limited up and down on the neck (because when you have him flying, he needs to arch his back a lot to see where he's going, and he may need a chiropractor soon) and, like you said, the cannon just... not being worth it, in terms of effort and how much it added to the cost. Plus, mine had this weird problem where the shading was... runny (?) on one leg. I don't really regret getting him, but not really one I'd recommend.
Love this classic design Mafex figures. They remind me of the early days of Marvel Legends. Great overview as always, Robo!
If only they were the price of Marvel Legends. This looks like a cheap figure for a premium price
@@ComicCrossing it looks premium to me: plenty of accesories, great paint apps, different display options, articulation above average. Not cheap at all, imo.
@@ComicCrossing Can't even use that excuse anymore tbh. Marvel Legends are as expensive as imports nowadays and they come with barely any accessories or paint.
@@nhyar dude come on. This retails at 90 without shipping or import fees if you are lucky and get it from an import site and a similar Iron Man will be like 30 at most. That isn't import pricing.
This Iron Man is going for nearly $150 on BBTS. You can still get a whole Marvel Legends wave for that price
@@ComicCrossing Yeah, this figure is expensive, I'm not denying that. I was speaking in a general way.
Marvel Legends nowadays cost as much as, let's say, a basic S.H. Figuarts, and those come with more.
Take the Iron Spider as an example. That thing was sold as a deluxe figure for like $35 with just a pair of extra hands and bad quality waldoes. You can get a Goku or the new Naruto figure for that same price and they come with a lot of stuff.
Diamond Cutter for the win;) Appreciate you Robo!
Bang!!
I'm regretting not pre ordering this the paint work looks so damn clean
I love that watcher up there watching
The DDP gag at the beginning, amazing.
That is a nice Iron Man and love the poses it can get into. Very old school feel. I was looking at the proton cannon and it just makes me think of an old issue of the Hulk when they had the Smart Hulk with the big guns. If we get a comic version of the smart bulk with the brown pants and black tank top you could use that for his gun.
Yo Robo, I'm from Memphis. So I appreciate and genuinely enjoy your Pro Wrestling references.
Bang! It's me it's me it's Iron MAN! Great review.
I’m loving mine and waiting for Thor and Cap
Hopefully they’ll repaint this as the blue stealth version
“What’s your safe word.” I nearly spit out my drink. Lol
I knew you were gonna do the ddp bang lol love it.
That butterfly joint is AWESOME! :D
Love this figure.
The f* this thing comment about the mega blaster had me rolling! Great video review
12:00 😂 that’s how I felt about the gambit card effects too.
Awesome video 👍 😇 😎 Robo.
First thing I said when Deadpool asks "What are you doing?" Oh the diamond cutter, obviously.......BANG!
Great review,love this figure! Can’t wait to see a full classic comic avengers line up Mafex style oneday 🔥
This 90s wrestling fan appreciates the DDP reference!
Ooooo...I have been looking forward to this.😎
I don't know if it's in the previous vids but this is the first time I noticed the upside down Watcher in the background 🤣
Talking about preorders I got my Holloween Clone trooper when your Stars Wars video came out I think I am going to buy another in the wild today at Target
I didn’t want this figure originally but as the release date started to get closer and closer, I caved in to FOMO and bought him. Do not regret it at all. I’ve had him for a while now and i’m almost always picking him up and playing with him. Such a good figure. The ML offerings are solid for the price, but this is my first and 100% the only figure of classic Iron Man that I’ll ever need. Can’t wait for Thor and Cap. I wish the Proton Cannon wasn’t included since it has zero correlation to this armor and it artificially increased the price overall a shit ton. It’s whatever though, I gave the cannon to my Marvel Legends Modular Iron Man. Hopefully it’s a sign that Mafex is planning to make a Modular Armor figure down the line.
Great review ❗⭐💯🔥
I remember reading somewhere that the yellow parts were several layers of really small chainmail.
He hit ‘em with the diamond cutter🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I laughed so hard at the end of the proton cannon fiasco!
yea i work at amazon and we are getting all of our pre-orders on back sent out cuz christmas is coming up.
have this one and it's great. Can't wait for Thor!
I popped the torso off and sanded a little inside the chest area. There was some pretty nasty flash left there that scratched mine up too. A little sanding and then some car polish on the 6 pack and it's a good as new.
Hope they use this to make a Silver Centurion, my favorite suit
The canon was a miss on this--however the figure itself more than makes up for it. Can't wait to get more Mafex Avengers!
Look at that Tony head! Somebody give that toy a drink!
Small correction: The yellow parts weren't a liquid metal, they were a mesh with scales so diminute they looked like a smooth surface. As for the faceplate with the nose indentation, it's based on Alex Ross' interpretation of the classic faceplate. Even though he doesn't give the face a full-blown nose like the infamous Nose Armor, he does make it stick out a bit. And as for the Proton Cannon, it does indeed not belong to this armor.
Thanks for another great review! This is such a beautiful figure. Mafex nailed the whole look and feel of the classic Iron Man design. The BEST Classic Iron Man in 1/12 scale.
It doesn't look natural however, nobody could fit inside that armor. For $15-20, the AI Iron Man is much better value for money.
No interest in getting this figure but damn I laughed so hard at this video, reminded me of my dad getting mad at things around the house so many times when they wouldn't work right or cooperate with him, hahaha. Find something else to do with that big honkin gun, it looks Star Wars-esque to me perhaps? I'm not a huge Marvel collector but I'm good with the classic comic version we got with Marvel Legends, although sometimes when I try to leave him in a cool pose he falls randomly and knocks other figures down, but hey, that's just life as a toy collector
Ironman diamond cutter! Bang!
what are your thoughts on the marvel legends proton cannon iron man?
“Tony is very disappointed in your grades” 😂✌🏼
Hey Robo, did you ever get your hands on a GI Joe Classified Sgt Stalker?
Maybe you can use that Cannon for the Retro Modular-style War Machine Armor instead of having to buy two of the Iron Man Retro Marvel Legends to get the Marvel vs Capcom War Machine.
Lol loved the ddp iron man biy
I say they should make a iron man mark 42. I would love to see that
Man this figure is tempting! I'm a sucker for a classic Iron-man. Makes me think of a modern update to the toybiz marvel legends series 1 Ironman. Loved that figure. Was my very first marvel legend when they first came out. The price is a real turn off though. The proton cannon was unnecessary. Maybe if it came with extra headsculpts and accessories to make the ultimate classic iron-man deluxe, I'd be all in. Also anybody else hear that faint creepy children's laugh at 4:18?
Great figure what you review The DC multiverse killer croc action figure?
“Tony is not happy with your grades” 😂
I like this, but then I know some people on Facebook sell 3D printed extra hands and there's the marvel legends version with the proton cannon and mmmmmmmm a lot of options is always good tho and this is just a more direct way to get a complete figure
Never more than enough Ironman, Robo. Never!!
Maybe you can use the fusion cannon as part of a Galactus construct
I love the figure, but I don't much care for the cannon. It's a very pricy figure, but I do hope to get one when I can scrounge up enough dough. This is my favorite incarnation of IRON MAN's armor. It's the quintessential design that resinates with me. That's THE Iron Man look. All the other armors are just variants as for as I'm concerned.
Alex ross design is op 🔥
4:24 lol
It would be cool to watch him fire the cannon while wearing his skates
Man to bad these are so expensive if not for the price even though I own a crap ton of iron men I would have still picked this up! I love the classic look on this .
The proton canon is a homage to the marvel vs Capcom classic games where iron man's most iconic special move is him pulling out a giant canon and firing a giant beam like it should be
So huge W to MVC fans
fwoosh wheres your galactus at, havent watched anyones review just waiting for yours.
I really want this. Had to miss out though. The Hasbro versions are ok to me but nothing special. The torso tilt, crunch, and butterfly joints are what separate this from the Legends figures.
Cool toy
IIRC they're not battery packs - they're anti-grav discs, right?
I could see the canon being used in a Marvel vs Capcom display.
Stick a scout trooper on that cannon!
I thought it was a space Satellite 🛰 🤣🤣🤣
Great review ! As always ! And if you don't mind me asking, where you from Robo ? Cause that "son of a bitch, I put the hand in backwards !" sounded texan as hell and made me chuckle unexpectedly. 😂
He’s from Arkansas, I believe he’s mentioned this a few times when talking about toy distribution in his area.
Wish Medicom released a cheaper version with no Cannon because I just want the figure :(
Wonder how much weight pressure from that proton canon. Mafex should have designed this inner hollow just so it reduces the weight. Not all quality items has to be measured by weight.
The plastic red and yellow are interesting…
How do you even preorder on medicomtoy ?
I’m still waiting on my Ben reiley and black spider man to go out of precorder and it’s been literally been a year
9:10 I laughed so hard.
DDP!!!!!
Lots of companies delivering on their preorders… but not Mezco
I want it in gold and without the Canon please
I like this figure but not the price. I got it "cheap" because the Japanese yen is cheap compared to the dollar now. Still, I paid about USD$136 including shipping.
mafex does have a classic thor figure
So Robo changed his mind about Classic Mafex Thor? Thought he said ML one was enough? I think the way they did the cannon takes up way too much real estate. I don't see anyone keeping that in their display
No, still haven't preordered it, just saying it would look good.
What's your safe word.😆
I like this Mafex Iron Man. I would like a version where you can plug in power cords into his chest, like what Tony Stark had to do back in the 1960's. The faceplate with a sculpted nose is from the 1970's, when Marvel Comics had all artists draw Iron Man that way. Look at the George Perez Avengers issues from the 1970's for an example of the Iron Man nose.
It kinda made sense. Since his eyes are so close to the eyes slits, his nose is probably squished painfully against the face plate.
The nose is based on Alex Ross’ work. I dont ever recall George drawing Iron Man with a nose like that.
Uncle Robo is angry! 😮 bad, proton canon, bad!
0:58 more than enough iron man? Never!
Hahahahhahahahahhahaha
Thanks for making my day
They got a mafex comic thor
I know, but it hasn't released yet.
What's your safe word?
Slim figure's with mafex
Nothing best/worse than all pre-orders arriving all at the same time in the end of the year.
Wow your neck is actually tight. Most I’ve seen falls off by touching it
This figure is an abomination… love ya work as always Robo
It's a quality figure for sure, however it's very obvious a person could not naturally fit inside this suit. The arm connection to the torso and pectoral/ab ratio is really off.
Well, that’s because the Classic armor was not designed like the modern armors. While it was called an “armor” it was really treated like the costumes of every other superhero(tights) evident by his musculature. The gold parts were in fact thin flexible metal that became rigid when an electric current ran through it. With the exception of the chest plate, every other part of the armor could be stored in a special suit case(but looks like a normal one)
Pass
I think that cannon is from video game, I'm not sure.
Yes, it’s the Proton Cannon from the Marvel games by Capcom as one of his and War Machine’s Super Moves.
I still like the AI ironman figure.
Great figure but head unstable!!!!You cannot click it in place!!!! Anybody?
Mafex vs Neca vs SH Figuarts vs Figman, choice your wappon bro
the fact that the crunch isn't good doesn't mean you have to justify it, i saw companies doing better crunches with more details.
it doesn't really take much to do it better, especially when it comes to ULTRA PRICEY IMPORT FIGURES THAT SHOULD BE THE APEX OF WHAT ARTICULATIONS AND PLASTIC CAN DO look at Vtoys body for example, amazing articulations on a similar built bod, they could have done just the same.
Justify less my friend, be more harsh.
Was I justifying it, or are you projecting me justifying it because you want me to be more harsh? Sorry I liked it, I guess?
@@TheFwoosh i don't know liked the figure too but the joint at the upper torso could have been done in a so much batter way, i like the style of your reviews it's very calm , technical and "friendly" and i appreciate it (i'm not trying to be offensive i swear ) but you should "punish" the defects on figures more, especially when they are like 5 times the price of a normal domestic figure.
hope i'm more clear, i seemed to me that you overlooked it.
Robo, if a few of the bad world events happen--based upon U.S. intelligence agency reports, cherish the toys that are coming in now. Again, it all depends on what happens in the Middle East and what China does.
For a 150. It's a pass for I
Yeah, I didn't love the Marvel Legends release but I'll only feel slightly bad about paying $30 for that vs this. It's a shame, because as an 80s comic book collector, I don't know what would make me happier about either or the whole "retro"-style figure thing. Part of me would like to see figures in non-comic book "realistic" colors but even then I'm not sure that would entice me.
Iron Men.
Haha
