About this deal

True, but you have to take into account that the development of a product roughly starts about two years before it hits stores, meaning toy companies are always working of conceptual art and early drafts of a script. During this development time, a lot can change to a movie or series, especially due to studio interference. That's how we wind up with LEGO sets of scenes that were ultimately cut from the movie or heavily altered. Furthermore, larger mechs commonly struggle with articulation because of their weight, leaving little opportunity for functional joints. 76210 Hulkbuster exemplifies this continued problem. The shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers are articulated, but these alone are insufficient for dynamic posing without any head or waist motion. The static legs are also awkward, although articulated legs were understandably unfeasible. This premium and highly collectible massive LEGO set is a great way to show off your passion for superhero films, comic books, and of course Iron Man and The Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU). I always wonder how much say the licensor has in it. I mean, there have been a few instances (I think mostly with Star Wars, so also Disney) where Lego released a set before the movie was out, and it turned out their design was substantially off.

Also, go to a shop like Action and see how much licensed Disney crap is sold there. It doesn't seem they actually care that much. As long as you pay the fees you can make whatever terrible product you want. I always wonder how much say the licensor has in it. I mean, there have been a few instances (I think mostly with Star Wars, so also Disney) where Lego released a set before the movie was out, and it turned out their design was substantially off."Both arms narrow around the shoulder and elbow joints, which is disappointing after 71411 The Mighty Bowser demonstrated that similar joints can be disguised. The forearms and hands look superb though, including reinforced metallic gold armour. 242 drum-lacquered gold elements are provided in total, more than any other set. Once the build is done, you end up with Iron Man action figure that stands about 9 ½ inches tall and has a decent number of articulation points. We perhaps can’t quite answer why it exists, except to say, why not? Even though 76206 Iron Man Figure takes in plenty of elements familiar across a lot of current and recent LEGO Marvel and LEGO Iron Man products, it’s very much its own creation, in concept and reality. It’s not trying to fit in with anything that has come before, and in taking a different approach in design, it’s able to carve out its own little niche area within the otherwise highly populous LEGO Iron Man and Marvel universe.

II'd think it's more likely Lego's own marketing department were adamant on that one feature, as a way to push the sales of that set a bit. If done right it would have benefited Lego, not so much Disney/Marvel." Where are the defenders from a few weeks ago who said just because some of the AFOL's don't like this set, we believe it shouldn't exist period? Again, the problem is SOMEHOW this set does exist, regardless of how we feel. They are a lot quieter now. There are obvious gaps between the waist and the upper legs, which might be understandable if the legs could move. However, they are static, so these gaps should have been closed. I like the texture on the legs though, including accurate metallic gold panels and some mechanical details across their front and sides. Also true, but that isn't premium product. Sometimes just a random thing with a logo or artwork slapped onto it. However, when it comes to figurines, action figures, dolls, or premium products, like expensive LEGO sets, I'm willing to bet there's a team of product managers overseeing those. Licensors always have to give their final approval before a product is being manufactured. So someone somewhere in an office at Disney signed off on those LEGO sets that deviate heavily from what we ultimately see in theaters or on our TVs. However, that doesn't explain everything that's wrong with this Hulkbuster set. Placing the figure inside is fairly simple, as long as the legs are positioned shoulder width apart and the arms are posed by Iron Man's sides. This could be an unusual and appealing means of displaying the Hulkbuster with 76206 Iron Man Figure inside, but the surrounding structure looks unfinished. Once again, some mechanical details could have solved this issue.It’s new in concept, interesting in detail, different in design and for all those things, a welcome change of pace for a theme entering its second decade. Now see how a buildable Hulk minifigure looks…
