IRON MAN 2 - Comic Series - Found at TRU

[RolandofGilead]

I spotted a few of these today at TRU. The Iron Man Classic didn't look half as good as my MU version, I didn't need the Iron Man Stealth, and I was going to pick up the Mark 3 Armor figure, but his paint apps looked like I painted him.

3 3/4 scale vehicle?

The durability on mine have been food except for lumberjack Logan, I swapped out one of the regular hands for the clawed hands and the peg busted through the forearm. Weird but it actually happened.

The XMO figures look cheap compared to Marvel Universe. Not so much the sculpts, no the sculpts are generally good, but the paint apps and plastic used. They feel more rubbery. I know Wolverine is supposed to be smaller, but I get the feeling the figures are a bit more smaller scale than Marvel Universe(this is also taking into account MU Wolverine being too tall).

Hey Kluster, how's the quality on those figures, they feel higher in quality than the XMO Wolverine figures? They look good in the pics!

MU uses the cheaper, softer plastic. XOW used a much stronger batch. War Machine alone is a pretty solid figure in line with XOW Sabertooth and MU Red Hulk. The shoulder pads lift up to adjust the arm to a new position and then you lower them to rest of the arm so it really keeps the comic book look pretty solid.

Classic Mark I is good. The Movie Mark I feels just a tad... too small. I've managed to pick up everyone except Iron Monger and the Movie style Mark III so far.

anyone got the Cycle Armor? an iron man motorcycle with a "No-Articulation" figure (but removable). the bike is good. $9.99 of course.

I thought it was pretty funny giving a man who can usually fly a quad and a motorcycle, but the upcoming Formula 1 racer could be awesome.

First appearance of Wave 3 in town. I found a Wave 3 set at WM a few days later and took back the TRU ones. I never pass up something which may be a little difficult to find in the near future because of all the scalpers in town. Had to go the eBay route for War Machine and Silver Centurion from the 6" movie line because I didn't bother to grab one the first (and only) time I saw them in a store.


A buddy let me rummage through his old machines and I managed to find a 300 Watt power supply. Nice to have a working machine again.

They feel good and sturdy espicially War Machine and Crimson Dynamo. Crimson Dynamo just needs to get his cavs switched they were put on wrong. War Machine has tight joints all around and has some weight wich is real nice.




They look better than any MU Iron Man released so far IMO and they can stand up with no problem.

hey Kluster! is that everything for first waves of comic & movie figures?

which one is that maroon color iron man? don't recall seeing it on the pegs?

i was surprised that they even bother to make vehicles. i thought it was just figures, and helmets, role-playing crap, nerf guns, etc.

Kluster is missing the movie style Mark I suit (along with Iron Monger, if he has them.) The "maroon" IM figure is Hypervelocity armor from the Concept Series.
