While picking up supplies at Walgreens, I came across this Iron Man figure, which is a Walgreens exclusive. He appeared interesting, so I got him.
His appearance is similar to the classic comic version of Iron Man, only this guy has 2 jagged gears as shoulder pads, a small one on his left side, and a propeller like weapon on his right. This Iron Man is someone named Arno Stark, who is the cousin of Morgan Stark in some comics, the brother of Tony is another. The figure comes with some really great accessories, including 2 pairs of hands (open shooting and fists), blast effects for the hands and feet (and those are interchangeable and peg into his palm or under his feet), and 2 smoke effect pieces that the larger blasts can peg into and act as a stand, showing him blasting off in action. All the effects are a translucent orange and look great. They definitely elevate this figure.
His articulation is really good, with ball jointed head, shoulders and thighs, hinged shoulders, swivel upper arm and upper thighs, double jointed elbows and knees, hinged torso that crunches forward and back, swivel waist, and ankle pivots. Only one of the ankle joints was stiff, so I applied a little heat (or hot water works as well). He's a lot of fun to pose and play around with, especially with the blast off stand pieces. Both pieces can clip in together for a more secure fit.
The details on the figure are simple but nice. Certain fans have complained about the gear shoulder pads, thinking of them as an eyesore, but you can actually remove those, as it's a loose piece that fits like a harness. I like the unusual design, as well as the cartoonish face, with eyes visible underneath the sockets. He definitely looks interesting and stands out.
Iron Man 2020 is a cool little figure with good articulation and great accessories. The Walgreens I found him at had several of them, though I know that can be a gamble, trying to find a store that has them in stock. I'm glad I picked him up, he's worth getting.
