I passed on this blue Mark XV Stealth Iron Man a couple times, lamenting the number of figures in my Marvel Legends collection on this very same buck, but eventually gave in due to my love for variants and this updated Iron Man body. Tis is the Iron Man buck we've always wanted- big enough to look like a man in an Iron Man suit, with great articulation, and comic book accurate. See my post on Invincible Iron Man #152 from 1981 to read about the first appearance of the Stealth Iron Man armor!
While I've sold some of my earlier Stealth Iron Men in blue, the Joe Fixit Wave Gamerverse Iron Man and Iron Man Movie Series Stealth Strike IV Iron Man are still in my collection. Like the Gamerverse Iron Man, this new Mark XV Iron Man includes an interchangeable Tony Stark head...

Below, Iron Man battles my new Marvel Legends Classic Ultron ...!
Below, Stealth Iron Man with my Shang-Chi Wave Tony Stark A.I. Iron Man, which included a holographic Tony Stark head, but doubles as a comic book accurate Iron Man...
Below, all the Iron Men in my collection that share that great new buck: Iron Man 2020, Stealth Iron Man, Tony Stark A.I. Iron Man, and the 80th Anniversary Classic Iron Man. While I lamented buying what is essentially the same figure four times, these are all great figures worth owning...
More Later- Make It FUN!
Got this guy mainly for Ursa Major but think he is growing on me.
ReplyDelete...I'm a big fan of Stealth Iron Man! Also, that IM buck was fantastic!
