TOY REVIEW: Invincible Iron Man


The first Iron Man figure for the year! Invincible Iron Man!

First Impression:

        Invincible Iron Man is one of the current comic run that I enjoyed reading however I haven't caught up on it again since Riri entered the picture. I do dig the new sleek look of the armor, looking like a hybrid of the Bleeding Edge and Extremis armor. I also love how it can change shape depending on the user's need. So with that being said, I was excited when this figure was announced. When the preview photos came, I was so glad they didn't reused any of the old Iron Man body mold similar to what they did with Superior Iron Man reusing the Extremis mold.

Overall Grade

        This is one of the surprisingly good figures from the wave. Being an Iron Man figure, I was kinda expecting Hasbro wouldn't put this much effort on him. The figure is solid in almost all categories. If not for the fixed blade on his arm, and a bit more articulation say wrist swivel, I would have given this figure a perfect score. This would probably land in my Top 3 Iron Man comic figures in this scale.

Accessories - n/a
Sculpt - 4/5
Paint - 5/5
Articulation - 3.5/5
Value - 4/5
Final Grade - 4.1/5
