I can't figure out why they chose to go with these choices for chase figures, when there are so many other REAL Iron Man suits of armor that they could have gone with. This is a real missed opportunity to have used the armors like Spidey's suits in the Amazing Spider-Man set. Being able to swap between suits seems like a no-brainer when it comes to a character like Iron Man. I'm not saying that these suits don't look kind of cool, but as they are based on no actual stories, I have little interest in trying to acquire them. I would have much rather seen the classic stealth armor, undersea armor, telepresence armor, space armor, current armor (both from GotG and Iron Man comics), a new Hulkbuster armor, House of M Iron Man and the like. I am also disappointed by the lack of new characters in this set. Aside from the chase figures (which don't even represent any actual comic characters or events), we got a set that is 75% re-makes of characters we already got. The characters I am most excited for are the new, previously un-clixed villains.
...but because we got so few of them, I am not going to order a case of this set like I usually do. I will end up buying a CUR set for about the cost of two boosters and maybe a couple of boosters for sealed tournaments, and that's it. Too bad, as I am a huge Iron Man fan. Where are all the other classic Iron Man villains?
Some others I had hoped for:
Blacklash (or Whiplash)
Chemistro
Corruptor
Iron Man 2020
Firepower
Ultimo
Iron Maniac
Sunturion
Shockwave
Porcupine
The Masters of Silence
I have to say that I'm more than a little disappointed by this set. It's still FAR FAR better than the Hulk set, but not as good as it should have been
If you can't tell based on costumes, comic accurate cards and certain powers this iron man set is based on an earlier variation to ironman. 80s-90s. That's why his suits aren't as advanced and certain villosnd are wearing specific suits.
The Hulk set was INCREDIBLE! I use every leader from that set not to mention hulked out heroes!
Good reads for the entertainment value, but look elsewhere for real advise.
Guardian is probably a 2 1/2 star fig with the power incompatiblity, the twins probably closer to 2 3/4 stars. Not as much firepower, but 20 points cheaper.
Play style also goes a long way in personal ratings for figures.

Because I have seen the GF Iron Man used very effectively--twice, in two different sealeds--, I would have to bump up its score by one. This one surprises you a bit.
Nailed it on Puck.
Well, what if there is no tomorrow? There wasn't one today.
Good review as always. I have to say though, I have used that Justin Hammer and he is no slouch. I think you scored him so low due to the comparison of the other J.H., he has indomitable, and the perplex helps boost other characters stats. On top of that he can take a hit due to Tougness. I think you were a little rough on him.

Yep, I agree, it looks like you rated him in a constructed format, which I agree with, but in sealed, you would be a fool not to play a 68 point fig with outwit/perplex and the ability to MC an opponents figs to also deal damage. Plus he has Indom.

There's nothing 80s/90s Iron Man about the chases we did get; they could just as easily have been done ASM style. These work for me though. I'd kind of prefer the chases to just be neat obscurities I don't care much about but would be perfectly content to pull.

The Iron Viking is an imposing sculpt. What storyline are these from?
They aren't from ANY storyline. That's why I feel they were poor choices for chase figures.
Let's Play "Whoizzit?"
My Avatar is an as-yet-un-clixed character. If you know who it is, be the first respondant to correctly identify this character I'll send you some free rep!
they made sinestro batman. so any other base they make is ok to me. why not is what i say. i personally wanted iron slayer. i pulled him in my brick so i'm happy. i can't wait to actually get some play him. i think he should be 4 stars easily.
