LEGO 76140 Marvel Avengers Iron Man Mech Buildable Toy, Battle Action Figure Playset for Kids 6 + Year Old

Product Information

I'm actually all in favour of multiple different Iron Manses, to fill up our combined 76125 Hall of Armour and 76167 Iron Man Armoury slots. A suit of armour around the world. What could go wrong? The set was provided for review by LEGO. All opinions expressed are those of the author. Minifigure

Tony Stark might be dead in the MCU, but it sure won’t stop LEGO and Marvel from churning out more Iron Man suits! I do like the printed chest-piece on a Nexo Knight shield.

This version is definitely based on his classic suit from the 70s. It has the same belt design and everything: The amount of articulation of the big Iron Man figure presents itself to be above average not only having bendable knees, but a sviwel rotation at them as well as at the waist. Bushings at the hips can be detached allowing for greater degree of movement outwards, while the ankle construction ensures consistantly flat positioning of the feet on the ground. At this point a bicep swivel or a properly mounted ball joint at the elbow would make it pretty much perfect!

Though for whatever odd reason, Lego didn't give this version a blue hip piece to represent the "underwear"/trunks. I can understand not giving this figure any boots or even a shoulder pad piece (thankfully that comes in a blue color in the upcoming 80108 Lunar New Year set), but these color legs don't have a variant where they have a blue hip piece: More interestingly is the return of X-Men into the Marvel LEGO Universe, with Wolverine making an appearance as a minifigure! Numerous impressive Iron Man minifigures have been produced since 2012, most frequently taking inspiration from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. However, this example is based upon the upcoming Avengers video game and closely resembles its source material, featuring an attractive metallic gold faceplate with metallic silver highlights. Matching colours appear across the torso and legs.

Marvel character mechs share the same proportions and building methods, but this design is certainly recognisable as belonging to Iron Man, given its colours and the printed arc reactor decorating the torso. This colour scheme represents a notable change from 76140 Iron Man Mech and matches the minifigure, as pearl gold is its most prominent colour. The small mechs are fine, they're the usual stuff by now, althought it looks like their hips connection has been redesigned and now they are unable to rotate. Still no side torso coverage... I’m not exactly sure why they didn’t re-use T’challa Star Lord’s face which seems a bit more appropriate. 76206 Iron Man Figure The angular chest component is shared between mechs, but features an exclusive printed 2x3 pentagonal tile that displays Iron Man's arc reactor. Opalescent trans-light blue elements adorn the shoulders and complement the arc reactor, although their position is odd. Even so, I like the upper body design, overall. Pearl gold ingots are also situated across the arms and legs, complementing the designs on the Iron Man minifigure. Opening the chest armour reveals space for Iron Man to stand and I like the dark tan elements behind him, forming some cushioning. The tile launcher situated above the pilot looks rather out of place but shooting functions are brilliant for play and this weapon offers a broad range of motion.

These components consist primarily of dark red but the contrasting details look marvellous and I like the red printing which creates an illusion of reflective metal. Once again, this design corresponds with the video game while the white arc reactor at the centre of Iron Man's chest looks splendid, accurately capturing the shape of its digital counterpart.You will need to buy 4 pieces of AA batteries separately for the helmet and another 1 piece of AAA battery for the remote.
