Interesting development. Although I was looking forward to the story being delivered in a serialized format (and with 5+ hours of total running time), a movie might be for the best, considering the plot would tentatively be pretty straightforward. A lot of the D+ shows have suffered from pacing issues, so maybe this is just Marvel learning from their mistakes.
That being said, a movie is more high-profile than a show, so there's that. I'm happy that Rhodey will get that kind of exposure and budget.

I have to say that I'm starting to warm up to Ironheart's design. The jetpack and lateral blasters are an interesting touch, reminds me of House of M Iron Man.

I'm kinda glad that the Iron Man figure is light on accessories, that should lower the price-point and make this figure a lot more accessible. I do wish he had a diorama piece like the Figuarts version, though.
Also, I don't see the point of having two battle damaged unmasked heads that use the same sculpt and only differ in the amount of damage. They should have either made one of the unmasked heads a clean version, or they should've given it a different sculpt with a more fierce expression.

It's just a teaser image from the company... I wouldn't read much into it.
I'm not really reading into anything at all. I'm just spitballing my first thoughts when I hear about an Iron Man game being in development.

I'm cautiously optimistic about this game. The armor design looks interesting, kinda like the MCU Mark 3 the comic Model 51 had a baby. I'm honestly more worried about the writing, and by that I mean the characterization. Most if not all Iron Man adaptations in other media since 2008 have leaned heavily on RDJ's portrayal as a blueprint, but in a "carbon copy" kind of way. I really hope Motive takes a look at the way Square Enix adapted Tony's character for the Avengers game, and then does the opposite.

Sounds like fun. I'm not familiar with Levitz's work, but I do know for sure that anything drawn by Alan Davis is a treat.

Making Wanda's Hellfire Gala her new default costume is a fantastic choice. I'm not too familiar with Orlando, but I liked Darkhold well enough. I'm not attached to Wanda, but I might check it out.

1000% in agreement. I was so disappointed when they streamlined him to the extreme for IM3 and Ultron. It took away everything that makes War Machine amazing.
Aside from the original IM2 suit, my favorite is Infinity War. It’s huge, beefy, and has an absurd number of weapons sticking out. That’s War Machine.
To give the MK 2 some credit, I like that they gave it a distinct visual language from Iron Man's armors, being more blocky and angular. That being said, I agree that making it streamlined wasn't the best idea, and I also agree with the MK 4 from Infinity War being the best armor. The modular weapons backpack is a thing of beauty, and I love the figher jet-inspired aesthetic with the camo pattern.

A Marvel Unlimited membership is totally useless at this point. There are several free sites where you can find anything on it at any time you want and you don't even have to wait for the new issues. And some of them will even let you download them for free and a small fee for HD. And no, I don't care that I'm screwing the system. The way Marvel has been allowing their staff to treat the fandom over the last decade or so shows they are clearly not concerned with profits, so I don't lose a second of sleep by not giving them my money.
"This app is useless because you have to pay for it." Now that's a peachy review lol

Wonder if this figure was sculpted by the same person who did the MK 50 Iron Man, it has the similar "stocky torso, lanky arms" propotions. That aside, I gotta give credit to Diamond Select for their continuous inventiveness when it comes to accessories. Although the execution could be better, this is the first Spider-Man figure I can think of to have a plug-in spider-sense effect. Diamond Select were also similarly the first to make a spinning hammer effect for Thor.

So they went with his suit from What If?..cool as it is a great spiderman suit
Funnily enough, it's the other way round. This suit originated from the theme park and it was then repurposed for What If?

That's awesome. Trevor was one of my favorite parts of Shang-Chi, and I'm glad they've embraced him.

Tony is broke again! He's supposed to be a futurist so his stories should be moving forward not backwards.
Honestly, one of the things I'm hoping to out of this run is that Marvel finally gets this idea of making Tony low-tech and low-profile out of their system. Then we can get the return of the Tony Stark who used to build satellite research stations and utopic cities and fully-immersive VR landscapes.

I'm not a fan of the premise, but I'm just glad that Cant(write)well is gone. My top pick was Jed MacKay, but I have faith in Duggan, since his Deadpool run was one of my favorite runs during its time.

I'm not sold on this armor. I understand the desire to make Ironheart look less like Iron Man in the comics, since they co-exist, but here in the MCU, Riri is going to be carrying the mantle. I'm not saying that Riri should have the exact same design language as Iron Man, but that doesn't meant it should go to the other end of the spectrum. This design looks more related to Radiant Red than it does to Iron Man.

Gotta admit that I'm not sure which finish is better for War Machine. Regardless, I can't wait to get this figure... I hate myself but I'll probably end up buying two copies, same for the eventual retro-carded Modular Iron Man.

I loved her first appearance look. If this cover is any indication, she's getting rid of that coat and that's good; I never understood why they thought a character whose power is based on energy absorption/ generation/ controlling the electromagnetic spectrum etc. would ever possibly need to wear a trenchcoat.
Because everybody in Nextwave was wearing a trenchcoat. It was a riff on the trope.

Holy molly. Is ZD Toys gonna start making comic-based figures?

I think a release of a new Mark 50 from scratch or even with just some new parts would be the best thing here for everyone interested.
God, I'd love that. A brand-new pinless MK 50 with a myriad of nano-accessories. It'd be a perfect deluxe release.

Jim Zub = instant yes from me.

I realized there was something smart the Legends team could have done for Zombie Iron Man.
Since the original MK 50 helmet was very badly designed, they could not have left Zombie Iron Man's neck exposed in the new upper torso, and they could also have designed new helmeted MK 50 head. That way, collectors could have used this figure's helmeted head to upgrade their previous MK 50.

It stings a little bit that this is the best the MK 50 has looked in terms of base red color. And it also stings a little bit that this is the only Iron Man reveal between SDCC and this livestream combined. At least my wallet is happy about that fact.

I was hoping this show was going to give the MCU the opportunity to adapt more Iron Man baddies, instead we're getting one of Bendis' pet characters. I mean, I don't hate The Hood, and I know Zeke Stane is going to be in it, but I wish we had more Iron Man villains instead.
That being said, the armor looks great, it's a nice adaptation of Riri's Model 1 suit.

Anka killing it with the Night-Spider design, a shame he isn't penciling her story too.

Marvel Legends Capcom Style Iron Man With Proton Cannon Revealed!?!
in Marvelous News's General Area
Posted
Pulsar Cannon this, Plasma Cannon that. It's Proton Cannon. Wait, actually it's not even that.
It's... PROTON CANNONNNNN
Joking aside, I'm loving this release. I'm happy that Hasbro is trying out different kinds of effects for Iron Man, and the headsculpts this figure comes with are exactly what I wanted it to come with. I might have to get two of these, for the Into the Iron-Verse section of my shelves, one as MvC Iron Man and the other as animated Iron Man.
