He's actually perfect for my Legends line. He's 6'5" in his armor so when you stand him next to 6'2" Captain America, he fits just fine. And the mix of classic old skool with a dash of modern is the icing on the cake. It's the ZD toys that make me cry. They look so nice and don't fit ANYWHERE
Haha, when I was editing I thought "Who was that?" and then realized it was actually me. Not that I have a lot of people hanging in the review space but you know what I mean.
I’d love to see Mezco’s take on the Mark 1 First appearance and put a modern take on it, Best part is they could incorporate some Fabric(their special thing they do) on the insides of parts of the Armor, and as seen with this Classic Iron man figure it would be amazing
I like the image of a little Robo sending his parents out in the snow on Christmas morning looking for batteries. Was anything open back then. Great review as always. Once again you’ve convinced me to get this, dam you. Ordering now to go with Popeye from the last review.
Now wouldn't it have been an amazing thing if Disney brought this suit into the movies? Yeah, it totally feels like a more realistic version of the Secret Wars one I had as a kid.
Solid review man! Seeing that modern Marvel Legends figure being the same size I think the scale is fine. I only wish that Mezco had made the drop down on the hips better and would like to see more range of motion in the ankles.
Oh my freaking goodness. I stopped this review at the 4:11 mark to say that I'm completely sold. My very first Marvel toy was the Secret Wars Iron Man (circ 1984) and this brings me back to that momentous day. I've yet to get a Mezco toy due to price, but I think this will be the first one I get. Knowing that it lights up and I don't have to use photoshop for an Iron Man toy pic on IG (thrawns_black_seris_art....shameless plug), I'm all in. Now, to jump on the Mezco site, and then finish up Robo's review.
You know, for some reason I never got any Secret Wars figures even though 84 was prime toy time for me. I guess I was doing way too many other lines and my parents went "No!" Haha. And I already follow you on Instagram, boom! You missed an E in your handle though: thrawns_black_series_art for those who don't follow.
@@TheFwoosh Yeah I LOVED the Secret Wars line along with Super Powers, but Star Wars was always my main go to as a kid. Transformers came in there as well, but never eclipsed SW/Marvel/DC lines. Btw, this figure has been ordered lol. Now to finish you review. Oh, and thanks for the correction on my IG account :-)
Now I'm not a big fan of Iron Man, but good god; saw this guy on display at a local comic book shop..it's beautiful! And yeah, I'd want to put it with my Legends display to replace my series 1 version. But since I'm not a huge fan, I just couldn't spend more than $30 on it. So um, yeah..that's not happening lol.
Just bought this figure (years later!) - in suit, the Iron Man armor is supposed to be 6'5'. Lining him up against those Marvel Legends, he looks legit next to spidey, Cap is looking a lil short in his own line scale. This fella is going in with my Legends figure shelf all day long ;)
Hey I’m glad he’s big maybé he won’t look super out of place with my Sentinel figures. I like the idea that Iron Man’s taller and bigger as his suits get more advanced, so.. yeah who knows! Diffo gonna get it now tho!
I could definitely see a lot of people putting that Popeye at the beginning in their top 10 figures for 2018. Not sure about that Mezco Iron Man. But still looks pretty slick nonetheless.
I like the classic look iron man straight from the comic books im getting this one after this review plus I did end up buying the Hasbro 80th iron man and it looks awesome
really nice classic looking Iron Man but I personally like the black one better, Im surprised at how much I like them both honestly 😁 awesome review Robo
Armored Mezco Batman came with a battery. Don't have mine yet, but this looks great. And basically 20 bucks for LED lights and a battery. But I think he'd work with ML. Marvel Now Cap is shorter than the classic Cap on the bigger body.
Thanks for this amazing review!!! You are so entertaining!!! A hint. I guess the discs with projectiles are meant to be placed backwards. When he is flying to avoid being targetes by missiles.
Wrong. He placed them the right way Boog_nice in his review placed then backwards which he clarified by an image stating he was wrong. Since the promo images showed even on the exclusive Iron Man to be firing out from the front. Not from the back but that doesn't mean you still can't plug them from the back.
Based on the height comparison with the Marvel Legends Iron Man figures, this figure looks like it’ll fit perfectly with most of the other legends. That original Classic Iron Man and the Marvel Now Captain America are undersized, especially compared to Spider-Man. Mezco Iron Man will look great with the Vintage wave Cap and most of the contemporary Thor figures.
I think it works with the legends. He's about the same height as the prime armor ironman you had him standing next to and since ironman is supposed to be taller in armor you can say since its a older model it's meant to be bulkier and taller.
I have that figure Its pretty damn nice in person and I use it for my Avengers display [Kinda of a mash of some of the MCU figures from different lines,but its mainly comic book Marvel Legends] The only things I changed for it was the I added a bit of red on the upper arm [The deltoid] with some spray paint Thank god I found the right colored spray paint to use
Fuckin hell; Just received the Popeye yesterday, now I must have iron man. I don't own any ironman figures,so this is an excellent first.The classic look is awesome, especially with the extra mezco detail! Nice review, informative yet comical as usual!
I'm starting to get the feeling you have a thing for candy colours..especially that sweet, sweet candy red. Gotta lick it to see if it's cherry flavored.
I think that Mezco Iron-Man fits fine with Legends. He's barely taller than Pizza Spidey and that Cap seems undersized anyway. Movie Thor also isn't as tall as comic Thor.
My issue with Mezco is that while some releases I REALLY like, most of them are quite lacking in articulation...and to me the idea of an action figure means being able to pose it in dynamic poses that look cool. Otherwise it looks like a scaled down PVC statue except that it's worse because of the presence of joints. With this Ironman, I thought they were going for an SHF approach to articulation (since they aren't limited by cloth or fabric) yet I think previous figures such as Batman or Daredevil look more posable. The gold in this one also looks too similar to a ML, as seen in the comparison segment. Finally, the unmasked face kinda sucks and makes the head look disproportionate. Having said all that, I do think it's a nice rendition of the classic look and it's imposing. So I dunno, I guess it's a mixed bag. I'm glad you loved it tho, Robo!
I always wanted a really good Iron Man figure in his classic look, and this is the closest as I ever expected. But I had money for just 1 Mezco One:12 figure on these days, so I ended up buying Popeye instead. :)
Nice review Robo! I kinda want this but I wish I could of saw it next to other Mezco figures (without having to watch some shitty review. I like watching your reviews bc I know what I'm getting. But no real Mezco comparisons other then the Cap.). I'm here to actually watch the Popeye review next. 😁 I'm stoked on that figure
Sooo weird. I know you're right, but how do you get 5" extra in the armor? I mean, the top of the helmet isn't really tall and there's no platforms on the bottom of the feet.
@@Chalor. you ever put boots on? Well thats like two inches more, flats are about an inch, so, the propelers need a cooldown mechanism to not burn starks feet, plus an inch on helmet, so yeah about 5 to 6 inches more
The Fwoosh Oh, I had to stop ordering direct from them. They kept sending packages that required a signature but weren't allowed to be re-routed someplace I could easily reach to sign for them.
He's actually perfect for my Legends line. He's 6'5" in his armor so when you stand him next to 6'2" Captain America, he fits just fine. And the mix of classic old skool with a dash of modern is the icing on the cake. It's the ZD toys that make me cry. They look so nice and don't fit ANYWHERE
“Don’t do that.”
I just like how you said it lol
Haha, when I was editing I thought "Who was that?" and then realized it was actually me. Not that I have a lot of people hanging in the review space but you know what I mean.
Let’s talk more about popeye
I’d love to see Mezco’s take on the Mark 1 First appearance and put a modern take on it, Best part is they could incorporate some Fabric(their special thing they do) on the insides of parts of the Armor, and as seen with this Classic Iron man figure it would be amazing
Gah, now you have me wanting to see that.
The Fwoosh guilty as charged 😂
I like the image of a little Robo sending his parents out in the snow on Christmas morning looking for batteries. Was anything open back then.
Great review as always. Once again you’ve convinced me to get this, dam you. Ordering now to go with Popeye from the last review.
Nope, back then you had to wait until the next day. Although, I don't remember Christmas with snow when I was a kid, haha. Silly Arkansas.
Where I’m at it snows 3ft and 30 below and we still go to school
Now wouldn't it have been an amazing thing if Disney brought this suit into the movies? Yeah, it totally feels like a more realistic version of the Secret Wars one I had as a kid.
Mark Curtis it’s rumored he’ll have the all gold arms and legs in some form during the next Avengers film
Yeah my boi
Now this one is worth it
"you wouldn't notice if you were on a galloping horse"
😂
Solid review man! Seeing that modern Marvel Legends figure being the same size I think the scale is fine. I only wish that Mezco had made the drop down on the hips better and would like to see more range of motion in the ankles.
I really think the scale is fine especially together with the hasbro classic cap. That marvel now cap is a tad short for ML.
Yeah, after moving it around the display for a day or two I have to agree. I need to switch out my main Cap...
Oh my freaking goodness. I stopped this review at the 4:11 mark to say that I'm completely sold.

This is my first mezco 1:12 figure. I cannot wait to get him. He shipped out Monday
You and Shartimus sold me on this. I will get it - eventually. I freaking love Iron Man. Thank you Robo.
Glad I could help!
We need one of these in a Marvel Legends vintage wave . . . badly . . . and a classic hulk while they're at it.
I’d also like a Classic Thor. I use the Marvel Select one but it doesn’t really fit in..
I would love to see a live unboxing from you. It would be really cool to get to see Robo's unfiltered thoughts.
I've started to add just a little bit of unboxing to the reviews, just to get a little more rambling in.
Now I'm not a big fan of Iron Man, but good god; saw this guy on display at a local comic book shop..it's beautiful!
And yeah, I'd want to put it with my Legends display to replace my series 1 version. But since I'm not a huge fan, I just couldn't spend more than $30 on it. So um, yeah..that's not happening lol.

Put a beard on it and call it armored Robo
The Uni-beam as much as I can remember was when he would use his hands and make a triangle so his hands and chest would make a huge blast.
I like the classic look iron man straight from the comic books im getting this one after this review plus I did end up buying the Hasbro 80th iron man and it looks awesome
really nice classic looking Iron Man but I personally like the black one better, Im surprised at how much I like them both honestly 😁 awesome review Robo
That’s a great looking Iron man
Merry Christmas dear brother Robo, and thank you for keeping the year in collecting so much fun! Appreciate you man👊🏾💎🎄🎅✨✨✨
Merry Christmas to you too, man! And believe me, I appreciate the support, it means a lot!
"I wish it came with roller skates" lmao!
Armored Mezco Batman came with a battery. Don't have mine yet, but this looks great. And basically 20 bucks for LED lights and a battery. But I think he'd work with ML. Marvel Now Cap is shorter than the classic Cap on the bigger body.
This is my first Mezco with a LED. I think. Hmmm. But yeah, after messing a few more days I think it does fit in okay with Legends.
I got the black and gold model 42 version, not buying 2, but looks good though just a repaint.
Oh dang, I'm more of a DC guy but I have to admit that this figure is awesome. Might grab one then...
Thanks for the great review man!
Gald I could help!
Thanks for this amazing review!!! You are so entertaining!!! A hint. I guess the discs with projectiles are meant to be placed backwards. When he is flying to avoid being targetes by missiles.
Wrong. He placed them the right way Boog_nice in his review placed then backwards which he clarified by an image stating he was wrong. Since the promo images showed even on the exclusive Iron Man to be firing out from the front. Not from the back but that doesn't mean you still can't plug them from the back.
Atlast the long wait is over, my favorite iron man and also the stealth...
I took a break from getting Iron Men, but I think I'll be looking out for this one.
A beautiful marriage of modern and even MCU with the classic comics!
Excellent figure. I can't think of another 6 in Iron Man better than this one, specially with a light-up feature
I want this so badly. This is the one Iron Man figure I was waiting for.
Based on the height comparison with the Marvel Legends Iron Man figures, this figure looks like it’ll fit perfectly with most of the other legends. That original Classic Iron Man and the Marvel Now Captain America are undersized, especially compared to Spider-Man. Mezco Iron Man will look great with the Vintage wave Cap and most of the contemporary Thor figures.
Yeah, as the days have passed I've come around to it fitting in better than I thought, mostly with the older figures.
i rly like this design and figured that it must be basted on the newish alex ross 2020 redesign... then i saw that this was recorded in 2018...
Dude great review thorough, answered my questions i was thinking, you should get a free figure cause u sold me on this one
I really wish it worked that way, haha. Thanks man!
I think it works with the legends. He's about the same height as the prime armor ironman you had him standing next to and since ironman is supposed to be taller in armor you can say since its a older model it's meant to be bulkier and taller.
I have that figure
Its pretty damn nice in person and I use it for my Avengers display [Kinda of a mash of some of the MCU figures from different lines,but its mainly comic book Marvel Legends]
The only things I changed for it was the
I added a bit of red on the upper arm [The deltoid] with some spray paint
Thank god I found the right colored spray paint to use
Fuckin hell; Just received the Popeye yesterday, now I must have iron man. I don't own any ironman figures,so this is an excellent first.The classic look is awesome, especially with the extra mezco detail! Nice review, informative yet comical as usual!
Thanks man! Yeah, Iron Man right after Popeye has me foaming for more Mezco after a long long drought. They are both so good!
Mezco's Iron Man works perfectly with Marvel Legends line. Iron Man's height in the comics is 6'6"
The 2020 iron man was featured in the infinity gauntlet crusade or one of those books as a droppleganger
Suggestion from poster on FB: head swap with “holographic” head from the Marvel Legends AI Iron Man to take advantage of the light-up feature
Ooooooooo, now I'm curious.
@@TheFwoosh there was a photo, but I can’t find it now. The effect was good!
I have the black and Gold version and this is on order!
JEALOUS!
The hip accessories is flairs. So I don’t think they shoot out forward. They shoot out back enemy missiles could not hit him.
The promo pics show it shooting forward, but backwards makes more sense
I'm starting to get the feeling you have a thing for candy colours..especially that sweet, sweet candy red. Gotta lick it to see if it's cherry flavored.
Guilty as charged.
I hope that mezco ventures into creating the modern look like hot toys and bandai.
That Tony Stark face sculpt looks like Mac's dad, from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia!
I think that Mezco Iron-Man fits fine with Legends. He's barely taller than Pizza Spidey and that Cap seems undersized anyway. Movie Thor also isn't as tall as comic Thor.
Mezco and DC Collectibles always got that Soft Look for faces where the skin is a bit see thru
My issue with Mezco is that while some releases I REALLY like, most of them are quite lacking in articulation...and to me the idea of an action figure means being able to pose it in dynamic poses that look cool. Otherwise it looks like a scaled down PVC statue except that it's worse because of the presence of joints.

The gold in this one also looks too similar to a ML, as seen in the comparison segment. Finally, the unmasked face kinda sucks and makes the head look disproportionate. Having said all that, I do think it's a nice rendition of the classic look and it's imposing. So I dunno, I guess it's a mixed bag. I'm glad you loved it tho, Robo!
I want the Model 70 Iron Man Armor to be next!
This review is awesome! Keep it up!
Finally a Mezco figure that doesn’t look like a doll
Ed Wood well pretty much all have cloth soo yea
One of the best looking iron man figures, if not the best one
I always wanted a really good Iron Man figure in his classic look, and this is the closest as I ever expected. But I had money for just 1 Mezco One:12 figure on these days, so I ended up buying Popeye instead. :)
NOTHING wrong with going Popeye!
Nice review Robo! I kinda want this but I wish I could of saw it next to other Mezco figures (without having to watch some shitty review. I like watching your reviews bc I know what I'm getting. But no real Mezco comparisons other then the Cap.). I'm here to actually watch the Popeye review next. 😁 I'm stoked on that figure
I found the stealth suit on amazon bro
Hey Robo, great review as always! I actually think this piece works well with Marvel Legends based on your comparisons.
Yeah, I've slowly changed my mind over the past few days. I should have pulled more figures off the shelf.
a true thing of beauty ..........just need to find someone who stokes them in the UK .............
Hey Robo, will you do a top Mezco Figures of 2018? If not, what would be your favourite Mezco Figure?
Probably not Mezco, probably an overall 2018 list. But as far as Mezco goes, it's Popeye, all the way. Insane.
YES! I have been waitin'for this to release!!!!!!
I have the black and gold version i love it so much
Here's hoping we see more comic ironman mezco's I'd love a bleeding edge suit.
UNIBEAM! Marvel vs. Capcom :)
Great stuff here
Awesome figure!
what about oiling him, while moving him to stop paint scrape?
That’s a cool looking iron man
I just ordered mine
I must have this
Hey can you do a review on the series 1 marvel legends ironman by any chance?
Great video, as always Brother. I love the Robo analysis ✨✨🤓🤓🤓👊🏾
Great video Robo!
When am I not on a galloping... HORSSSSSSSE? *Sorry the big fella nearly threw me.
Nice vid man, what's your favourite iron man figure?
I hope they make a 90's cartoon Magneto 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Great review. I am partial to the Mezco figures with cloth goods. Seems like a lot of unnecessary effects to justify price. Just not for me.
Awsome Action Figure review
Shellhead not buckethead. Good review
“You won’t notice it if you are on a galloping horse”
That would probably knock all of your figures over.
Gus is two steps from becoming a full blown alcoholic
nerd_ monger one step. one step.
Haha, he may already be there. He's got a beer 24/7, every time I pop in to check on him.
I'd love to see someone mod the crap out of this to add lights to the mask and the hands.
Very impressive
Old review yeah, but in that marvel display iron man and spidey are fine. Its cap who's the problem
Am I the only one getting recommendations for the pink panther 2
Thanks mate
Does the lower torso have two different paint finishes between the raised surfaces and the recessed surfaces? Or is that specific piece all uniform?
It's hard to tell because of the different sculpts but I believe it's uniform.
Robo just so ya know those disc rockets are flares
Also yet another great review and I hope Barnes and noble picks up Mezco as a distributor eventually
I totally agree with you now that it's been pointed out, it makes sense, but Mezco does list them as missiles and shows them going forward. Hmmm.
The Fwoosh ah but there lies the original issue they listed that effect part originally as flares but then changed them when they hit other sites
SH Figuarts Princess Leia has arrived!!!
Amiami took a day or two before they shipped mine! Grrr!
When is the stealth ironman release??
Not exactly sure but I'm waiting impatiently!
Me tooo!! Now that i saw this one can wait any longeeeeer!!!
C'mon man, he's supposed to be 6'6" in armor, at least. Stark already is 6'1", one or two inches shorter than cap, without an armor, hating
Yeah yeah, I hate it so much even though the size is one of the very few nits I have about it, just focus on that though.
Sooo weird. I know you're right, but how do you get 5" extra in the armor? I mean, the top of the helmet isn't really tall and there's no platforms on the bottom of the feet.

Cool video man.
Cool
Dude how do u have these already?? Do they give em to you??
No, I order them just like everyone else. They are usualy slower getting to me, for some reason the last couple have shown up super quick.
The Fwoosh Order them from where? Because BBTS hasn’t shipped a thing yet.
@@danielcraig9666 Directly from Mezco.
