Man, I’d love it if they did some of the whacky armors from that line as full-blown figures. I always liked that Samurai armor.
chronologically, the Pentagon armor comes before Extremis and after the Modular/90s cartoon armor, right? With the Telepresence armor (if they ever make it) sandwiched in-between modular and pentagon?

I loved all of those specialty armors from the 90s line! Samurai Armor was inspired. But Subterranean Armor, Magnetic Armor, Lava Armor, Ice Armor, Radiation Armor—all looked so cool. I was devastated when the final wave for the Toy Biz line got cancelled.
Yes the order is Telepresence Armor then Modular Armor. Then Crossing Armor, Teen Tony, Heroes Reborn, Heroes Return, then a bunch of short-lived suits like the SKIN armor and others until the Pentagon Armor and then Extremis.
It would have made more sense to have Mandarin in the spot of Count Nefaria and Madame Masque in the place of She Hulk for a Iron Man wave but regardless this is a great wave!
On its face, I was never going to be that interested in an Iron Man wave. I'm glad you Avengers folks got the much-needed Count Nefaria and Whiplash. Iron Man fans aren't exactly hurting, but I'm also glad we were able to cross off a few more armors. Seeing a redo of the ML8 figure is a trip.
Just She-Hulk for me, but they accidentally made my favorite costume for her right off the bat.
I don't think my excitement level for a whole wave has been this high since Apocalypse X-Men wave. The Pentagon armor looks so good with the red/gold colors. I love that Nefaria but I might not replace my custom with it. So happy to retire my HML2 She-Hulk. 1st day p.o for sure.
Love seeing overdue villains get their figures, and man that She-Hulk is just what I wanted for her (though I'll buy pretty much any variant they make). The Tonys look great too. I'm less amped about them cos I just did a review of how many armor variants I own and it's a lot, but I really like what they've done here. Very unexpected, very cool.
Nice little surprise announcement. Figures look good and a decent assortment given its a retro Ironman wave. I think most assumed Ironman armor for about half of it.
Like the surprises such as Count Nefaria(who had been heavily rumored and on leaked list over the last year or so) and She-Hulk in what I think is her most classic look, with the right hair sculpt finally and a smiling head sculpt.
Oh man.
This wave is going to make me break my 2024 preorder rule. I have been pretty good at only preordering exclusives and absolute "must have" figures so far. However this is a whole wave that hits all my nostalgia points. I had almost all of this line back in the day and I am an Iron Man shill. So that means I am going to have to go all in on this wave as well.
Not an absolute, but right now my faves in order are:
Count Nefaria. Basically because we have never gotten him as a figure before so of course he gets top spot.
She-Hulk. This is one of the two versions I really wanted. Not happy about them bending her knees to fit in the bubble because that can lead to unforeseen issues. However still a great representation of her 80s look.
Blacklash/Whiplash. YES! This is the version I was hoping they would do and it doesn't disappoint.
Gold FA Armour. I just recently picked up the grey version and now we get this announcement. Awesome!
Model 9 Armour. Love it, but the boots will take a bit of getting used to.
Model 20 Armour. Nice, but I was never the biggest fan of this, or the Extremis, armour.
I really hope this wave does well and we can get a second one.
Despite how great the wave looks, I must continue to lament how they aren't doing a better job integrating the articulation into these fantastic Iron Man sculpts. Extremis was begging to have butterfly joints and better torso articulation besides a waist cut and the same applies here - really wish they'd gone with some thoracic articulation hidden in the armor. That said, he still looks great, and I especially love the paint! Looks more metallic than they sometimes pull off, which I like.
Even with two never-before-seen characters (my usual top priority) She-Hulk might be my most anticipated in the wave. She looks fantastic, and coming right after last year's Monica Rambeau it definitely ups my anticipation for other Avengers from her time with the team - Dr. Druid, Starfox, and armored Thor especially. Also - Titania!
@h-bird it looks to me like this Iron Man has butterfly joints. That, or I'm going crazy.
Damn, that She-Hulk is *chef's kiss*
Just her and Nefaria for me.
Hypnotia would've been nice to see, and finally get. 😀
Definitely would be cool to get those original characters from the show like Hypnotia and Dark Aegis!
Dark Aegis would have been a great BAF for this wave. Talk about your missed opportunities. Still pretty nice wave. Shulkie is a must. Nefaria and Whiplash are are good choices too.
