I preordered this Gamerverse Starboost Iron Man from Target back in February, finally receiving him last week. While there are a lot reused parts from the first Gamerverse Iron Man, the chest overlay and beefed up boots set him apart, and the colorway makes him appear like a totally different figure.
Hasbro included a second set of blast accessories with this Target exclusive, in addition to extra fisted hands. I'm not crazy about Marvel Legends retailer exclusive releases, otherwise known as "fan channel exclusives- they are sometimes hard to secure, most particularly in the case of Walgreens. Spotty distribution and multiple retailer websites of varying dependability make the experience unfavorable and exhausting. That said, we are living in a Golden Age of action figure collecting, and few of us could afford to buy everything anyway. Hasbro is just helping us skip a few, and they have too much money anyway.

another Target exclusive figure I preordered this year that did not disappoint ...!
