What ever happened to Iron Man?

Pass on Deadpool...I would prefer more of the 70's megos first.

^^^Characters that require complex tooling to be rendered in their retro, alter ego or modern format will probably be pushed for later to allow for these to be developed. i.e. an armor for Iron Man in its modern version, a body for a Hulk, etc.^^^

Ariel makes an excellent point. A modern Iron Man would likely need a great deal of individual armour pieces tooled up, particularly given the complexity of the current designs. I'd imagine it would be really tough to do right.

Or would folks be content with a modern Iron Man with a cloth outfit? Do you think it's even possible to translate a modern IM armour as cloth, and would contemporary Iron Man fans buy into it (in the same way they are courting them with the Deadpool release)? Although I guess there is merit in this given how awesome Austin's various armours from the bronze/copper age have been turning out... if they went with the Silver Centurian or another 80's era design.

I would also think it would be tough to figure out how to make it look as sleek as a fully tooled figure and not bulky once you fit armour pieces over a Re-Mego body.

I probably won't by buy Deadpool.
Iron Man on the other hand was a definite purchase.

Iron Man will come in time but this is the right figure at the right time... DeadPool is hotttt right now and aside from the Batman Vs Superman movie the DeadPool trailer drew A LOT OF BUZZ, his release will probably co inside with the Movie release... Very cool IMO

I chalked it up to them having to wait for Tony to sober up first. Don't think that would be a very good picture otherwise.

Another bad choice by these guys. It's like they are out of touch with with remogo collectors. Ironman is selling more toys right now than Deadpool
as is seen in any Toy or Dept store . Hopefully the movie won't suck but Ryan Reynolds has a history of one star movies

[CrimsonGhost]

Brian has said it all.

It was explained many moons ago that Iron Man wasn't necessarily next after the Thor announcement.

[LonnieFisher]

Iron Man was one of the first four announced, so where is he? Have they scrapped that idea?

Quoted from Marvel's website.
"Future sets in the line will turn the spotlight on Captain America, Iron Man and Wolverine, who was never included in the original 1970's line."
That was quoted from their very first announcement article.
