The legs being 1/figure suggests the arms will be 1/figure, and that still leaves the head and possibly weapons/base/blast effects. which means we'll be getting another 3 for sure if not 4!!! FUCK YESS!! Hasbro does me right every now and again.

Now enough of my hyper-enjoyment rant, My take is the pointy mask fills the void of collectors paying $60-80 for the only other ML pointy mask figure. The 2pack figure is also around $30-40 so this saves ppl money, I don't know if it's the same buck or not, but both masks look different. Bleeding edge for the win!, looks great,... Iron Patriot should of been the variant to the regular extremis iron man, but they decided to make stealth instead. Stealth sold well in stores,regular version peg warms, so why not take a buck that sells and repaint it change the baf piece and charge the same price, makes sense to me, basically use the mold up. Plus lots of customizers made them on ebay and sold well. thus a market was born. I am curious to see what the other 3 or more will be.


My absolute wants would be a dressed down Tony with removable armour pieces, a peper potts, Obadiah Stane would make sense for Iron Monger. Pepper Potts would be amazing but will never happen. Agent Coulson, Black Widow, Agent Maria Hill, Unmasked WarMachine. But honestly , I'm just guessing and dreaming, time will tell.

The 1st ML horned Iron Man was by Toy biz. This one uses the newer Hasbro buck used on the 2nd series of TRU 2 packs, which is much more slender than the Toy Biz version. Instead of a swappable faceplate, it had the whole heads being swappable.

I get the feeling that a new Silver Centurion Iron Man using this buck is on the way for wave 2. After all, Tony was in that suit during Iron Mongers last battle in the comics, and Silver Centurion is long overdue for a redo. The Toy Biz version is bulky. Comic Mandarin and modular armor need redoes too!!
