Marvel Legends Wave 1 Iron Man Model 1 Photo Shoot

under Marvel Toy News, Random Photo Shoot

The Model 1 suit of armor was created by Tony Stark, with the help of Ho Yinsen, when he was captured by a terrorist cell in Afghanistan while overseeing the testing of some weaponry. It worked as a pacemaker to keep Stark’s heart beating after shrapnel got lodged in his chest. The armor doubled as a means for Stark to escape captivity and avenge Yinsen’s death at the hands of their captors.

Marvel Legends Wave 1 Iron Man Model 1

Pros
Really good paint plastic effects

Cons
none

Overall
The classic Iron Man Model 1 suit gets a new release with a better paint job. If you missed out on this suit the first time around I would add this to the buy list for sure. I really like how the paint-plastic metal effects turned out.

    I can imagine that the trench coat from G.I.Joe Rise of Cobra's "The Doctor" would work good as well...and would more than likely be cheaper to get a hold of, since it doesn't have the name "Snake Eyes" plastered to it.

    Wild Bill also came with a revolver as well, although the Crimson Guard might be the best route.

    I'm thinking I may use the Lord Deathstrike (can't remember what they called him) trench from the Big Hero 6 figure.

    Hmm...now I wanna play Spider-Man Shattered Dimensions again.

    And I was thinking of using an Avengers Nick Fury coat. What about the hat though?

    ^ me too ha ha. It's cool we got all the spidermans (spidermen?) from that game in this line.

    I got this wave in the mail on Friday. While its is a step in the right direction from the awful figures we got in 2015, it's also a bit frustrating that the most articulated figure from the wave (noir spidey) is on a recycled buck from 6 years ago. Hasbro really tanked this line the last few years. I have no problem with them recycling old bucks as the stuff that came out when David vonner championed the line is FAR superior than the stuff after. I hope they continue that trend of reusing the old bucks, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

    When I read Marvel Legends I thought this was a 6 inch Noir. Instead, it's just the crappy 4 inchers.

    It looks cool, now we need this guy for the 6 inch legends line.

    Very true. I hate how all these companies seem to think "collectors only want 6 inch figures" lately because it's just flat-out not true. I saw some of the new Superman/Batman movie figures last night and I won't lie it kinda pissed me off a bit that there are no 3.75 figures. I can only hope they'll make some for Justice League.

    Yeah my local target stopped carrying 3.75" action figures. All they carry now are 6" dolls :

    Thinking of using either Nick Fury trench coat or DC Multiverse Hush trench coat. Indiana Jones fedora and revolver or the revolver from Red Star from the 25th Joe comic packs.

    Why the heck is it Yondu's the only fig in the wave that had accessories?

    If they blow up Spidey Noir into 6 inches, and give him a gun, I would buy it. They already have the mold from the AIM soldier.

    Actually Wild Bill also has the hat and the gun, but both would need some paint.

    Another good trench coat is the Yokai trench coat. I have it on my MU Punisher and it looks fantastic. I'll post pics later for example.

    I don't know I really think they got this one right.

    That seem like a really random pick. I'll stick with my movie MKI from the IM2 line.

    I dug that line. I had the underwater Iron Man suit and Iron Monger.

    To be honest, I'm considering starting a 4 inch collection instead of a 6 inch one, wwith maybe a few exceptions here and there. It just seems like 4 inch gets lesser known characters more, especially in this Marvel legends line, and eventually they are blown up into 6 inch size. Idk, what do you guys think? How's the articulation?

    Looks like the same exact Panther that came in the MU with the light-up base, but with better shoulder joints, and a diff paint job of course:
