Heroic what? This is Bleeding Age Iron Man!
Call him
Heroic Age Iron Man if you want, I prefer to call this armor
Bleeding Age. I've been meaning to get him for a while now because I like this look. Sure, I hadn't read Iron Man in a while, but this one time I started getting back into comics when I went to Argentina, I got a number of X-Men VS Avenges in which Tony was wearing this armor. Plus, I've taken a break from Spider-man comics and I left off during the Heroic Era Avengers in which Tony wears this one!
I'll be honest but fair... he is a very
old figure, and it
shows. His proportions are very clunky, he has huge trapezoids and nearly no neck, his back is huge and the proportions on his legs just look off. On the bright side, I like the metallic red and mustard they went with, even if the
flat blue paint they used for his reactors look a bit
dull. He comes with no accessories, but, hey, this being an older figure also means that the plastic feels very
sturdy.
As outdated as the sculpt is, the articulation hits all the rights notes. Double jointed elbows and knees, swivels on his biceps, thighs and waist, as well as a hinged ab crunch. The only small issue I have with him is that his wrist gauntlets
get in the way of spinning his hands, so you have to finagle with them a bit. He is slightly taller than Bucky Cap.
For such an old figure, he holds up
respectably well, so I'm glad to finally add this guy into my collection. Now, if they'd update Heroes Reborn Iron Man...
