I.M. ACTION FIGURES

IRON MAN ACTION FIGURES

In 1994, Toy Biz and Marvel, which eventually became the same company, helped to launch the action figure boom of recent years with toy lines based on Marvel properties, including Iron Man. The latest Iron Man figure is part of the Marvel Legends line, but I've got pics going all the way back to that first '94 line.

Scheduled for 2006

The Marvel Legends line continues:

Series 14 features two IM figures: First Appearance Iron Man in the Gray Armor and a bonus variant sporting Shellhead in his later golden armor.

Series 15 will contain a Thor-Buster Iron Man.

A special line, featuring hero-villain two-packs will bring us the new Modular Armor Iron Man and the Mandarin.

Finally, 2006 brings a Modern Iron Man figure from the Marvel "Icons" line (reported to be 13-inch figs) and a House of M Iron Man.

Out in 2005

Hulbuster Iron Man

Toy Biz reached way back to IM #304 for the Hulkbuster Armor.

Modern Armor Iron Man

Marvel Legends released the IM fig based the on Adi Granov's art from his run. Although the figure itself was out of proportion, it came with a cool poster book that included various pics of IM as well as a trading card.

Out in 2004

Silver Centurion Iron Man

In 2004, those fine folks at Toy Biz finally released another Iron Man figure. Part of the ever-growing Marvel Legends line, the new Shellhead fig features the armored avenger in his Silver Centurion Armor. The figure sports a bulky rocket pack and comes with a wall-mountable display base.

In 2002, Marvel Legends line contained two Iron Man figures, standard and a metalic paint variant.

Each figure comes with a full-length comic and a special stand. (Iron Man comes with IM #149, btw.) The line also includes Captain America, Hulk and Toad. Click HERE to see the entire line.

A classic Avengers set, featuring the original line-up, was released in Mid '99:

1998 brought us the Famous Covers line. Inspired by the classic Mego figures of the 1970s, the FC lines featured cloth and plastic clothes, and allowed users to remove (in this case) Iron Man's mask, revealing the dashing Tony Stark underneath.

An Avengers figure line featured Iron Man in his Heroes Reborn armor:

In 1994, Toy Biz launched a set of Iron Man action figures in conjunction with the Marvel Action Hour television series.
