Marvel Legends - Heroic Age Iron Man - Bleeding Edge - Iron Monger BAF Series
Back of the Card with previews from the others - doesn't make sense now really since all of them are already released.
Heroic Age Iron Man and Iron Monger's Leg.
Before anything else, let's first take a selfie. #selfie
So, what I really notice about this and yes I'am still researching is does the design really has to bring out a bulk effect? Just look at his shoulders, they look so masculine comapred to the other boxed like armours. Anyway, figures design is good. Details weren't bad although some paint dubs are not properly aligned.
Oh! look! Mini-me!
If only this core are glowing - much better, but it doesn't so oh well.
And surprisingly, he is figuregenic -and by the way before I forgot, I really don't like those hands. A cleneched and an open one, I guess it's better than having an annoying pointing or holding hand that looks ridiculous on figures, but could have been much better if it's changeable.
Marvel Universe - Infinite Series - Wasp and Ironman
Ironman - on what they want to call Heroic Age but looks to me like Bleeding Edge. Well, Im sure fans will know. I got this rascal over half it's SRP over the local stores so I really don't know if the seller intended it or he mistakenly putted the wrong tag. Anyway, details are good. More like a Mini ML Iron Man Bleeding Edge: Iron Monger Series.
And, I don't usually collect these guys but again I bought them for the reason I found Wasp as hard to find and Ironman having half his SRP. The reason I never open them - I intend to sell them depending on How much they will come in the future.

Iron Man Mark 7 by Silver Castle
Iron Man MK7 by Silver Castle
I don't know when was this released but i found a store who were selling this for like Php650 a kit and yes if you're good at asking for discounts they will still give you one. This was the first time i heard of this manufacturer "Silver Castle" so i had no idea on how they are good in replicating original kits. At the same time i can't find the original kit they copied this into. Anyway, let's start.
"Every toy has a potential to be good as long you wanted it to be good."
The Kit Comes in a cute little box, mark with it's manufacturer Silver Castle
Take note, the box should contain 9 Runners, a sticker and 1 Manual
The Sticker are for some side details, this is important the ARC Reactor and the eyes. The Arc Reactor shoudl be seperated and somewhat a special kind of sticker
6 runners are for the head, body, torso, legs, arms, and joints
and the remaining parts would be for the hand that comes in different poses, the effects and the stand.
There you go, now the issues i found about this kit is...
The Stupid Manual, well i know this is a bootleg but come on, some of the parts have the wrong label and if you were a first time builder of such kits you would actually fell for the dumb instruction written on it.
The Runners were actually bad itself, the parts were attached in a bad way leaving noob marks all over when you cut it. Furnishing it is a must but be warned too much scratching will ruined the parts color itself since it was glossy. And i guess i have to praise the color wasn't half bad. It was a semi-metallic-gloss red and a semi-metallic-yellow-gloss color, so it ain't that bad although the plastic is still bad.
Fittings are bad. Yes, some of the parts doesn't fit right. For example, the chin part of the kit has a big male part so attaching it to the face gave me hard time leaving a bad plastic mark on it. some parts doesn't actually fit and you have to either use some fitting cement or better yet, PLACE IT PERMANENTLY.
ARTICULATION is WORST.
In other cases, the ARC REACTOR was a a plus point. The Effects was an asset, although it reminds me of Dragonball instead. And the color although i praised it, im taking it back. The color sucks. It's not red it's Maroon.
And that's it, now in order to make it good you really had to put time and effort on it by realizing it's issues. If your going to have this Kit have fun and enjoy and show how good you are on making Kits look "Awesome".
My Rating: 5 out of 10
Height Comparison with...
As asked by someone, sadly i don't have an Ironman Hasbro Legend figure [any of the variant] but i do have A Captain America Marvel Legends Face Off Series and an Ironman Mark III Launching Repulsor Blast
