Hasbro Marvel Legends 20th Anniversary Iron Man Review. 

Not related but I just got the retro Ben Reilly and I love him he is my main Spider-Man because I was never able to get the retro Spider-Man and now he costs $170 dollars so yeah your review on Ben Reilly made me really excited about him so thanks

Damnit Dave. I didn't want this figure, but since you pointed out the headsculpt looks like Charles Bronson, I need it.

If you heat the chest on AI Iron Man with a blow dryer for about 30 seconds, you can easily pop out the arc reactor with a small, flat screwdriver. Then paint it whatever color you want and pop it back in.

I have passed on this, but I noticed the resemblance to Charles Bronson. So now I am thinking of getting it and making a Paul Kersey.

It’s rumored that Sony Co. still cries every night because they only bought the Spider-Man characters

I love that Hasbro gave us a near-perfect Steve Ditko mid-1960s Iron Man. I am baffled that they paired it with a 1970s Charles Bronson looking Tuska/Colan style Tony Stark head, but I am using it for a kitbashed Death Wish Paul Kersey, so my Ditko shelf and my kitbash shelf both benefit from this release.

It should be noted that the body on this release is a new mold compared to the 80th and AI releases. The torso is actually a new sculpt as is the waist. It's less ripped than the 80th version and the belt buckle like thing on the waist is a different shape. Maybe if Hasbro just reused the full body sculpt and gave us 3 heads (horns, no horns, and unmasked) it would seem like a better figure. Also, if we never had the AI Ironman it would seem like a better figure.

That head sculpt looks good on a Starjammer custom :)

A diddler in a suit of armor 🤣 that’s not how I expected you to describe him

“No dice”, Bronson says “going to display Dave’s behaviour, to model behaviour”

I always love seeing Simpson bits in your vids lmao. GREAT VID DAVE

You’ve created a weird spasm in my brain now David. Whenever I see 20th Iron Man I will think “Oi pally, I got a film for ya- a fridge too far!”

Finally someone who mentions the waist! It looks so weird without the batteries. My 80th took a shelf dive and cracked the abdomen. Was hoping for this figure to replace him, but looks like I’m still going to wait.

Sorry I miss these it’s just I go bed early cause I’m sick

The thing that bothers me. That I haven't heard anyone address. Is the fact that this is supposed to be a 20th Anniversary tribute to ToyBiz. Yet they released a fin head Iron Man instead of a shell head. I honestly thought that this release would be A.I. Tony. With a different paint scheme, and head sculpt. We'd get a either a Gold/Red, or a Yellow/Red. Then maybe a Stealth exclusive like the original Wally release. Mind you I want a fin head IM. But he shouldn't be a TB anniversary figure. If memory serves TB never even did a fin head in the Legends series. Also I don't know what is up with the head sculpts. But whomever the lip lover is. Please just stop letting them do the sculpts. They look weird. I'd heard a name thrown around, but it escapes me now. But just stop please! Hulk & Tony are odd. Sue Storm is horrible. Also that new Doc Ock sculpt looks like it could be the same person. It's a regression. It took Hasbro so long to start really getting things right. Please don't piss it away.

I've got the Tony Stark AI figure. I picked him up for $9.99. Unfortunately, he's back up to $19.99. He serves his role well though and makes for a great 70's into the 80's Iron Man. I've got mine facing off against MODOK.

I think it's a good-looking figure and accomplishes it goal successfully but I already have 80th Anniversary and that's the design that comes to mind when I think of classic Ironman. Like you, I'd sooner buy A.I. Ironman as it's the same buck as the 80th-version.((I'm thinking of putting the Rhodey head from the Deluxe WarMachine on it since he was wearing hat armor around Secret Wars.))

Being a responsible adult, I passed on this....but I want that head sculpt.

The yellow is basically yellow tin foil.

Excellent video, Hilarious, Thanks.

Hasbro is watching you and going "hmm so you saying if we start packaging our figures the old way we can sell them anything. Gotcha!"

Dave thank you for making these videos. Whenever I need a break from everything, I'm always so glad to come back to this community and support it any way I can with the patreon and liking every video. I appreciate you getting the new stuff coming out even if you plan on selling them. It's not something you have to do, but it really feels like you're going the extra mile for us fans. I for one can get down with any sort of content you share with us. I'm getting to the point in my collecting game where I have to be more selective of price/space on the shelf, so I understand the feeling of only wanting to pick up stuff you'll appreciate long term.

They should have done a classic head with a removable faceplate like toy biz did, woulda bought that.

I have the Series 1 Toybiz Legends Iron Man hanging on my wall. Found him in the wild and had to grab it because it's the first ever Legends Iron Man lol. And also paid $30 or so for it. 😄

Thanks for the review Dave, I'm passing on Iron Man. Sorry you got has"bro'd" on this figure, but appreciate the heads up!

I completely agree with you, Dave. I find the Iron Man and Hulk from this wave completely skippable. Especially if one’s been collecting for a few years now. I plan to get Cap. I never found the 80th Anniversary figure in the wild and wasn’t willing to pay inflated secondary market prices. I’m really hoping Toad ends up being a knockout of unique engineering to make up for all of these repaints/retools.

The smoke effects look better as a feet jetblast effect

I like the head, but it's really not my image of Tony. Invincible Iron Man, 80th and Stealth suit, heck even AI Iron Man's Tony Stark head (If it got a non-holo Rerelease in the future) matches how I think of Tony Stark. Like you said about the head, it's what I like to call the "Please report to HR, Mr Stark" headsculpt Not essential like Cap or even Hulk, but I welcome a new addition to the Hall of Armor, minus the head

I love the 20th anniversary Ironman and even though the figure does give me Steve Ditko vibes, I am still happy with the 80 years, AI, Stealth, Silver Centurion, and Modular Ironman for my Ironman armory, Also the 80 years Tony Stark and Stealth Ironman Tony Stark head sculpt are the best head sculpts in my opinion.

I get it. I think the figure is getting a bad rap though just because it’s undesirable and the price hike. Would Hasbro been better off repainting the 80th and giving us the unmasked head as well as a diorama piece? Probably. And conversely, 20th Cap I feel is getting g too much of a pass for not including a regular shield option.

This face design gives me big 80's adult movie star vibes😂

Count on good ole Dave to make you smile. :)

aren't the discs flares? I don't really know they probably change with each version

God the packaging on this line does look so mint

Keep this guy on card and just get your self a A.I. Iron Man and paint the chest reactor yellow and your set.

5-22-22 Haha whats with the wrestlemania 10 music, in the background?? Kidding aside, informative video. I like the Bronson head, and its the reason that I would get this figure. My favorite look for Iron Man is the bronze age era, so I may get the AI figure and put the Bronson head on it. Could the Bronson head fit on the AI body neck peg without modding?

Do you think that Hasbro will continue making updated versions of the original figures even after Toad? I'd love to get "definitive 1/12 scale" versions of the rest of the Avengers and the Midnight Sons.

I thnik it's a neat figure but I got 80th anniversary which is for me the best figure of iron man in this scale. Comic colours on 20th one are good but gold fits more for me and I love his new Tony Stark head reminds me of comic Demon in a bottle. Only thing it's not okay is the unmasked head it sits I think a little to tall on neck but maybe it's just me. Smoke effects are good but unnecessary. But translucent blast effects are cool. And new iron man helmet of model 2 from comics is good new add we didn't have before. But sadly i gotta say it's weakest figure of this wave hulk and cap are ten times better and I bet Toad will be great too.

I love my AI Iron Man and it's the only one I need for my Comics-Avengers display, just wish I had a human Tony Stark head for it.

It’s completely accurate if you like early 60s avengers artwork. But if you don’t, then I don’t see why people would buy it. He didn’t get the discs til later. And the black smoke is dogshit, makes no sense does it. Early 60s metal hat, early 70s head.

But WHAT IF you have a Iron Man shelf ? 🤔 ah ah ah lol

I feel like if they held off on that a.i iron man and released a painless iron man with a better comic head then everyone would be all over it.

70s game show host Ironman

£16.99 in the Comics & Cocktails sale. I just HAD to nab it lol

If this had a regular iron man head I would have bought this instead of ai iron man.

It is not the same as the one before, the one from A.I. is a better figure, the one from the 80th anniversary is better, why did they remove the batteries from his waist?

I like the colors on this one but I have an AI Iron Man. So why bother? I’m going to buy Captain America since I don’t have a good comic one and the Hulk is tempting. If I see this I’ll shake my head and move on.

Just bagged this for 12 pounds from the entertainer so I'm chuffed at the price point. Wouldn't have ever paid top dollar for it tho.

I don't know if the person who brought up Gargoyles' Demona (I think someone brought up Demona) in the earlier chat will see this, but check this out: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-aGb3SP9O0kk.html NECA is at it again!

I think I chose this figure for all the reasons you dislike it! I didn't like the shade of gold on the 80 year, or the shape of the helmet, and I really like the sleazy 70s look of Stark, so will display him holding his helmet in the crook of his arm. There's something more whimsical about the tight-fitting yellow armour, because it doesn't look mechanical, so my brain is always wondering how the hell it works, all the while resisting any solid conclusions, because those aren't fun. However, I will be displaying him at a distance from my female - and prettier male - figures.

I'm going to solve this "mystery" for you, Scooby Doo Dave... The reason it feels "cheap" for a "$30 figure" in hand and out of the packaging... Is BECAUSE it IS, in fact, a cheap repaint of a figure we've ALREADY gotten nearly 5 times or so at this point. Hasbro is, AS USUAL, milking the HELL out of that cow (Hulk anyone?!), using the SAME figure, with swiped Ironheart parts effects and a couple of new heads (maybe...?), and EVER SO slightly different paint... THEN slapping a $30 price tag on it and passing it as "all wonderfully new and original"!! However, in reality... NO. No, it's NOT ANY of those things. It's overpriced & glorified re-use. Period. You should be as pissed and cranked about THIS Iron Man as you were about having to pay $20 for the retro 2099 Spider-Man figure (aside from the breaking part, obviously...). Anyway, there you go, buddy! Mystery solved, and unlike Hasbro... There's NO up charge.🤣 It's really NO mystery at all... 🤔🙄😑 As for the Iron underwear lines... THAT'S EXACTLY the argument AND purpose for filling IN the quilt lines on... Yep! Shocker... YOUR words, brother, and it definitely applies! 😉 Overall, while it's basically a decent figure... And I certainly appreciate the nod/throwback to the original Iron Man figure & packaging... I'm NOT buying it (Hulk either!), as I have the 80th, the 2020, & the A.I. versions of this mold, and several others such as "Silver Centurion", Modular, Holographic (which I gave the holographic A.I. Stark head), and several others for my "Hall of Armor" Iron Man suits. I never liked or wanted this version, myself, but hey, lots of collectors have that love for it, and the desire to have it in THEIR collections, so I'll be happy for them, and at the same time, happy for my wallet! 😁😁😁 I really only have an interest in the Cap and the Toad (If they'll EVER quit dragging it out, teasing it, and then sticking their heads back up their asses for months at a time), assuming they're planning to put him out THIS year...🤔🙄🤣

Lmao!! Great clip from the Critic.

The 20th Anniversary line is definitely Hasbro cashing in, by making a very half assed line, to do nothing but say, “cash first”. I bought Cap and Iron Man, I’ll possibly buy Toad, if they ever release him, but this ends my buying Marvel Legends.

Should’ve been extremis armor iron man 😕. At least it would’ve been new.

See Dave, peeps are probably gunna buy this new one over the 80th despite the major downfalls. Why? Because it doesn't have it's upper arms switched around along with the lower legs. I would have bought the 80th a long time ago if I didn't know I would have had to break him open and put him together the right way. Hasbro is literally selling a broken figure at that point.

I know what you mean by feels cheap. It is light, weak, and hollow like the plastic of a McDonald's happy meal toy.

As someone who has the AI Tony im now confident enough not to buy this. Thanks Dave.

Gotta agree for the most part on this figure. POSITIVES: The helmet-Been wanting this version helmet for a long time; Colors-In sych with the AI figure so that I can USE that AI body with this new mask (and dump the figure's body!); I DO like the gold look, but comic-wise, its always been yellow and red. NEGATIVES: Hip disks-WHY ARE THEY NOT ON HERE??; Charles Bronson/Creep Head-UGH, yea agree...NOT being used on my shelf/figure; Smoke effects-WHAAAA??? When and where have we routinely seen 'smoke' effects from repulsors or boot jets?? Blast effects, sure. PEEVES: C'mon Hasbro!!! Why not a 'uni-beam' effect instead...or a better Tony Stark head...or an Iron-Man-collapsed-costume-in-a-briefcase accessory? If you didn't want to put on the hip disks, why not make them 'hand-held accessories like he did in the comics to use them for...whatever purpose he used them with on the comics. How about that armor era's 'Rocket Skates'?? Those would've been cool as Hell as an attachment to the peg holes in the feet! I'd half expected a martini glass and a liquor bottle as accessories for him knowing that era's Stark as well! FOR THE PRICE OF THIS THING, I'd expected at least the previously mentioned Iron-Man-collapsed-costume-in-a-briefcase accessory! Dave, nice review. You may have went a bit rough towards the figure...but in this case, for the PRICE of this figure and the off-mark content herein, I'd consider it warranted.

easy money hasbro....iron patriot with osborn head.

I got to say that I am impressed with the 20th Anniv. Ironman. This first wave,so far, Hasbro has given us better renditions of the ToyBiz 1st wave figures. Granted Hulk has pickle lips and Ironman's Tony Stank head sculpt is Charles Bronson from "Death Wish". Imo 20th Anniv. Captain America is on the money. Let's just hope Toad doesn't disappoint. You weren't harsh at all. You gave us your honest opinion and I totally agree.

I dig the AI Iron Man. Was thinking of using him for when Rhodey wore the red and gold.
