Marvel Legends EXTREMIS IRON MAN Avengers Action Figure Review 

i like how the artwork on the box isn’t even the same armor that the figure is supposed to represent

The lack of waist articulation is so frustrating on their recent iron man figures. It’s the one character they could really get away with hiding a great waist joint in to help get him in some better poses.

This is probably my favorite look that Iron Man has had in the comics followed very closely by the modular design.

I love how he has noticeable gaps in his hips but can’t move his legs as far apart as the Modular Iron Man figure

I respect that you admitted you were wrong regarding the posing situation. Nice review. I wanna get this guy at some point. He’ll bound to be on sale at some point so I’m gonna wait. Btw what are your first thoughts on the new Model I Iron Man?

The annoying thing is that the colors on the packaging and the renders they showed off were actually PREFECT in terms of comic accuracy, too bad the actual figure doesn't have the same colors :C

This extremis iron man should have been a home run for hasbro, knowing how popular this armor is. The articulation in the waist was right there for them to do, and it would have gone a long way to make this figure better. I also feel the helmet needed to have that more angular look to it and a bit more bulk to the armor.

I think he’s really skinny even for the design the torso and shoulders should have more of a “triangle look”

these non-crunching diaphragm joints are killing my interest

I started getting into comics around extremis, so this is definitely the design I always think about when thinking about iron man

Liked way you address the pose situation,yes he can do the pose,but in an unnatural way.I saw redditors post pics of him in r/Marvel legends and mock you in the comments, funny how NONE of them mentioned how he looks from the rest of the sides."bUt buT hE cAn" Just shows how low the bar is.

I'm mixed. My memory of Extremis and that whole era if comics is weirdly desaturated. Like how Batman Begins just had a sepia filter on it. The coloring works for me. I don't know where I stand with the armor design. It feels really iconic and influenced the MCU designs but now days it doesn't feel like it has nearly the cultural impact of stuff like the Modular armor did for me. I guess it was in MvC3 but to me now it's less important in and of itself and more important as bridging between the 90s designs and the eventual MCU looks.

The Extremis armour is fine to me, but I prefer the Bleeding Edge suit. Just not a fan of how sleek and minimalist the Extremis one is, or of triangular arc reactors. Plus, never liked the idea of Tony storing the undersuit in his bones. The red looks okay to me, but I'm mostly thinking of Adi Granov's art where the colours are fairly muted. (The fact that Hasbro didn't use his art for the packaging is also weird.) Might be a bit more saturated than what I remember, but in a way that I can excuse because other artists had it as very saturated. The lack of waist articulation really brings this figure down. I get not wanting to break the sculpt, but it just results in such awkward poses. But this company is the one that thinks waist, diaphram and butterfly joints make something "super articulated", so who knows. But for all my complaints, this figure does look nice. It'd be nice for Iron Man suit display, which I'll probably use it for... once it goes on sale.

it looks a lot like the five point of articulation toys I see in the bargain stores. The one that comes in a 10 pack with all the other mcu figures.

I was waiting for this one. Its funny/wild seeing that people were so happy you were wrong you're living rent free in their heads lmao. I really like this figure it could have been executed better but I still think it looks nice enough especially compared to most legends. I'm not a huge iron man fan but I like this suit.

This iron man coulda been so sick with the ab crunch and diaphram joint

I don't mind the Extremis in general but it's too sleek and the hooker boots pretty much kill it for me. Much prefer something on the same general look but a tad bulkier like the MCU Mark 3 or the comics' Model 25, the armor that's actually on this thing's box art. In fact, I wish Hasbro or anybody would give that armor a go because the only contemporary version available is the Sentinel one from years back, which wasn't great. This almost looks close enough to pass for the Model 25 but the differences are too noticeable for me, especially those boots.

I love this Iron Man. I'm waiting for this to hit stores and my Target does sales on Marvel figures pretty regularly. So I might be able to get it for a super good price.

30 bucks for no ab crunch or hip swivel... awesome, that's the "Premium price" collectors are paying for. 👍🏼

IT'S 2023, They need to normalize: 1.) PINLESS JOINTS 2.) BUTTERFLY JOINTS (FRONT AND BACK) 3.) LOWER NECK AND TOE ARTICULATION 4.) EFFECTS!

Tempted to get this but I love modular armor abit more. The reds and golds look better to me on modular.

I AM THE GREAT CORNHOLIOOOO I NEED MORE TP FOR MY BUNGHOLE!

They need to add more toe joints to these figures that way doing hero landing poses are easier

It’s dull, but it’s accurate to the comic.

My annoyance is that I see people defending the paint (or lack thereof) as it being closer to the comic, but they are proven wrong LITERALLY ON THE BOX. A bit of wash or something would have made this guy pop so much more

This design isn't my favorite, but when I think of 2000's Iron Man this is it, plus that was when I was growing up and first getting into comics. Personally the dullness to me nails the cover art from that time, not so much the actual art within the comics though which was definitely brighter. I'm glad this figure exists but I like to be one and done with most Marvel Legends, saves on money and space, so the 80 Years version is the only Iron Man I need.

We need the Pentagon armour.

I love how you never remember to put up the review links when you point at it LOL. And it seems like Hasbro's definitely cutting back on articulation with their newer ML figures. The new 2pack Doc Ock only has a waist ball joint at the belt, and no diaphragm at all. Having a single point of torso articulation on standard-looking male figures (standard as in not "special"-sculpt figures like Kang with his tunic, nor Doom with his skirt) is clear indication that Hasbro is serious about cost-cutting. Male figures for the most part have always had 2 torso cuts, and this new trend is really worrying. Right now it's not too big of a deal yet, since all the figures they are implementing these fewer-articulation schemes aren't the most acrobatic, but in general, it's still worrying.

Hasbro and McFarlane both seem to have decided to specialize in figures that are in that frustrating "good but could easily have been great" zone, where just a few little things could make SO much difference, whether in paint or articulation, etc.

I get that there isn't much paint, but looking at the comic art, other than a wash there isn't much else they could add in regards to paint.

I'm still waiting for him and cap to release in the UK 😢

I still can’t believe they put the Pentagon armor on the box art by mistake

I was always a fan of the Pentagon Armor, but I feel like it's too similar to the Extremis Armor, so they probably won't make a figure of it. They even used a picture of the Pentagon Armor on the packaging of this figure

Hey Anthony do you sell the RIVAL CLANS yet? If so SEND ME the link. Sincerely Mr.Fantastic G.

I have the original ML Extremis Iron Man from years ago. I'm not sure if it's late Toy Biz or early Hasbro, but it's a good figure. Besides the legs being a little too skinny and the paint on the chin being wrong, I think it's a WAY nicer looking figure. The Extremis amror is my favorite Iron Man design, thanks a lot to the amazing artwork the comics had when it was in use. It was so sleek and sexy, and had kind of an art deco/Rocketeer vibe to it. I don't think this figure captures that feeling at all. It's too bulbous and round. It looks like a suppository.

When are you making your own action figure ?

I can’t believe you were technically wrong about something. I have to go reevaluate my life now.

Thanks for the review Anthony. Is it me, or are you all Iron Man'ed out? Don't get me wrong, I love ole Shellhead but after three or four different variants of his armor I'm tapping out. After Ultimate Cap hits my shelf, that will be the end of ole Winghead too.

Too undersized. It looks like a robot, not a human being in a suit of armor when posed next to Captain America and other characters.

To be continued??? Please post it on Wednesday, I can't wait to see what's going to happen before Cap's head ends up on Darwin's hand

I really like this armor but the figure looks especially thin especially from the back. No way a human at that scale would fit in that armor

I dont like most of the iron man figures because of how limited the torso is...i want at least two points on it like the classic iron man or modular. they have so may places to put a waist or something there..but no..the movie and versions like this are always crap in my opinion.

This is the iron man from my childhood so it’s pretty cool to have it on the shelf, but yeah it’s just ok

considering iron man is double packed Hasmen shudv put in mawr effort.

I wouldn't blame you at all if you stopped reviewing this waste of a toy line

I like the design I wish on the figure they panel lined him to bring out the detail.

They spent all the moneh on Iron Man cause he's made of metal

Me gusta extremis pero yo la tengo en Marvel universe que es la línea que colecciono saludos desde Puerto Rico y te felicito por tus excelentes videos always.

A comic tony head would've been nice 😒

I’ve seen it posed in the 3 point stance much better

I Am IRON MAN

ZD toys needs to make a comic version

Spoiler alert for your cap review.

Lmao! Darwin!! 😂

Hey anthony quick question. Does the tony stark head that came in the 20th anniversary fit this iron man?

Dude, I just came across your channel and your reviews are fucking awesome. Quite honestly, I take your words as gospel. I can tell you know what the fuck you're talking about when it comes to all aspects of a figure, and I highly value your thoughts and words. You have changed my opinion (for better or worse) on multiple figures and you are now my new go-to figure review channel. Keep it up, appreciate it.

Extremis is pretty close to an MvC3 Iron Man which I'd want, so I was initially curious by the announcement of the figure. Overall I'd try to pick him up on discount at around $17, but I think it's arguable that the 2013 version of the Extremis figure did the paint and proportions better for the most part. Bothers me lol.

I'm probably going to cancel my preorder on this figure, I think it looks weird. It feels like they sculpted the figure and then elongated the torso and the legs to make him taller. Also, the gap on the hips is awful; too much free space and the range is still limited somehow.

Excellent review Anthony👏💯😘. I’m curious if Darwin is invincible…

I always liked the Extremis armour. Being an old git the classic look of the 80 years suit and Silver Centurion are two of my fav's. A shame Hasbro ballsed up the head and neck articulation on Silver Centurion. I was always a sucker for his early all gold bulky suit. Now they're doing the grey first appearance suit, I guess we'll get that soon. This looks good apart from the overlong calves and gappy crotch. Though not keen on the desaturated colours. An ab crunch and ball jointed waist would help this figure.

I really wanted to like this figure, but am left feeling cold about it. Hate the shoulders, hate the proportions. Think I'll pass. Excellent review as always, thanks! 👍

That iron man action figure looks like the iron Man from marvel ultimate alliance 2009 video game. Because look at the face.

If I think the review is good but I'm disappointed and wished I didn't pre-order do I give thumbs up or down? Just kidding....thumbs up as usual. Thanks

since the name of Hasbros game is reuse we all know they will release this same Iron Man down the line in brighter colors like they did w/ the 80th Iron Man

I was excited for this figure but some reason it doesn't look that good. I loved how Sentinel had made their extremis armour. That looked awesome this one kinda looks goofy

I don’t care about Marvel legends anymore, but I still love watching your reviews.

Pretty good figure the torso articulation should have been better. Gappy legs. I'll get it when it's on sale.

Hey look another figure I'm going to pass on, thank you sir for saving my money again.

ayaw mo naman lagi mga laruan e

Hey Anthony! Would love to see a top 10 batman action figure of all time

With a slight retool, I think this mold can be a killer Iron Patriot figure.

i wish they made use of the doctor doom ball waist so that they could give him moreab crunch

Ooh, the continuation in pics story: nice touch hehe

Lol 😂 awesome job on the review epic .

Saludos antony customs ohhhhhh jaimeeeeeeeeee!!!!!

Could you update your top 10 list for the shf line? I would love to know your opinion on the best figure in the line overall!!

I think cap is the best form this wave.

Did you review the Captain America or Iron Man first? It sounded like you said the Cap review came first but I can't find it on your channel.

This Darwin battle has me hyped

Easily the best looking version.

I can’t say that I dig the execution of the mold. For all their so-called ‘innovation’ I don’t see this topping the McFarlane Bats Who Laughs Noob I recently copped. Love that fig-and for only 20 bucks🤷🏻‍♂️

how would you improve the paint as a customizer? just some simple panel lining with a black gundam pen or something else? trying to see if there's any easy technique I can try out

First

Looks nice

Yo! Cover the McFarlane avatar wave of figures.

Haha your Instagram post triggered so many people on the action figure Reddit pages.

Virtually no paint. What little there is, is cheap. Engineering is meh, proportions are fucked. Sculpt details are okay. Feels bland, colorless, very unimpressed. 3/10.

Straight garbage, which is too bad because I really wanted this one

Wasn't expecting that ending lmao
