I wish Hasbro would do that in general, but also kinda do something similar in that they specifically rerelease the 60s-ish Tony head included with the 80th Iron Man and Stealth Iron Man, the 70s-ish head included with the ToyBiz one, and the modern head included as a holo-Tony head with AI Tony (obviously recolored into normal fleshy human colors), but all shrunk down a bit to be actually normal-human-head size like the mulleted head on this new one seems to be; as opposed to how the existing released versions of the heads are kind of unthinkingly scaled assuming the armor is his normal body size, which of course it isn't, leaving the heads significantly oversized. It's a little thing but it really bugs me that all of the recent Tony heads are just too damn big, especially noticeable when you try to put them on a suited body. Rhodey's head that came with the Deluxe War Machine is similarly too big, but a smallened version of that would be a bit of an odd one out in a Tony Head Pack.

Marvel Legends 2022 Haslab Live-Stream Coverage

I wouldn't assume that this saved the HasLab or the removal of Robbie killed it, since even with the numbers going down, it was still at over halfway, and many HasLabs that succeeded were not at that many backers by this same time in the campaign. Remember, the vast majority of projects like this (includint HasLabs) get the vast majority of their backers in the first and (especially) last 48 hours. Had they not done this or anything similar and just left it civilian-Robbie-less, I would say there was still a pretty decently high likelihood the campaign would succeed, but maybe just like barely. The addition is definitely improving the chances but it still may well not make it very far past the base level of success. TL;DR: the removal of civilian Robbie lost a lot of backers, but they probably were not the majority of people (currently or total by the end) willing to back it. As overpriced as this is, there are still such a large number of people who might want something like this that statistically there's probably a statistically-small-yet-gross-numerically-large portion for whom price is not much of an object and can get the project to succeed. -
Being very charitable and assuming amped-up exclusive pricing for the other figures in the pack, you get $42 for Mojo + $28 for Longshot + $28 for Dazzler + a very generous $15 for lil Wolverine, that still only leaves the combined value at $113. Mojo in the multipack does have more paint apps than the single-release Mojo, so obviously that should make up for some of the difference, but are a couple more paint apps really worth a whole $17 more? And again, that's even assuming the two other figures should be $28 each instead of $25, or that Wolverine should be $15 instead of like $12 or $10 (or less). Basically, it's maybe not as egregious as it initially sounded, but things still don't really add up.

Marvel Legends 2022 Haslab Live-Stream Coverage

honestly I don't even think it did work for the HISS Tank, I think it just funded that fast purely by the nature of GI Joe fans; managing to get the Tactician was simply a byproduct -
It does also seem to be a new, less orange shade of yellow, maybe a slightly darker shade of brown as well, but yeah, this isn't even the kind of novel that most of these Unlimited exclusives are. Personally, I'll be waiting for a new version of this costume (or any other Daredevil) on the new Vulcan body.

Y'know what's so weird to me? Like, even ignoring the fact the Sunfire body is too short, regarding the problem with the proportions of the body and Firelord looking kinda scrawny on it...... even if they wanted to keep it on this body, they could've easily improved things by giving him the Shang-Chi version of the body with actually substantial shoulders?? Like, I just don't get why they released the Shang-Chi figure in early 2020 with improved larger shoulders that make the mold more proportional, and yet as far as I'm aware despite the many reuses of that body in the two years since, they've never reused the better shoulders. Except maybe for the new Renew Your Vows Spidey?

Civilization In Shambles As Marvel Publishes Silly Comic -
Like I mentioned when Origins Iron Man was revealed, the dark grey spots on the gold limbs really made those parts look way too busy (making the whole figure way too busy), when they should've been relatively simple and less detailed to provide resting areas for the eye, to contrast with the more detailed red parts. So, with those spots now colored the same as the areas they intrude on with this War Machine release, they're significantly less distracting and muddling of the design. Them being there as lines is still a bit much, but still, way better than Origins Iron Man in that respect.

Hasbro Fan-Monday Live-Stream For February Coverage

I think part of the problem is they made the eyes too big (specifically too large vertically) and emphasized the jaw a little too much compared to how it is in most of the art. The helmet looks great in art, but this was not the ideal realization of it in physical form.
