Who better to pair up with MODERN Luke Cage than CLASSIC Iron Fist?
In what was one of Hasbro's
weirdest decisions, they decided to sell MODERN Luke Cage with... CLASSIC
Iron Fist. These two designs of the Heroes of Hire do not match up... but here we are.
This Iron Fist is built on the Renew Your Vows' Spidey buck... and it
fits him. Whatever build works for Spidey, works for Randy. The only thing I dislike is... well, the design. I mean, Iron Fist has always been a favorite of mine, I always pick him in the Marvel Ultimate Alliance games... but I'll always go for his modern looks. The moccasins, the long collar, the cleavage... Iron Fist's design has
only gotten better with time. Other than that, this is a great buck, and a great look for Danny.
Articulation is the same as RVY's, so double jointed elbows and knees, butterfly joints, hinged waist and ball-jointed ab crunch, swivels on the thighs, shins and biceps and hinges on the toes, the whole 9 yards. Sadly, this also means the drop-down hips. Scarlet Spider has been fine so far, so I'll see if I
need to glue them down later down the line. This is a ton of articulation, which is fantastic for Iron Fist.
All that said, he came with a broken butterfly joint out of the box.
Bummer!
But what's worse... the gummy plastic and slightly longer arm peg means the arm is getting stressed. The same issue most modern Marvel Legends have and the reason I'm scaling down on Marvel Legends. Cheap Hasbro, get better plastic already.
Yeah... the same issue with the arm as other ML's due to the gummy plastic. Add to that that I don't care about this design... Yeah, he's just alright. But Hasbro NEEDS better plastic, this is
ridiculous.
