Finally, DLP makes both the Tank and Blue Steel more easily accessible. Unfortunately, the other variants are boring variants.
First previewed here.
The bigfig is really good in terms of quality. It's the MK 44 but looking like a bigger Iron Man instead of a Hulkbuster because of the lack of a dome shaped head.
This guy is highly similar to Kopf's recent Iron Man Hulkbuster bigfigs.
Now for the figs. These marks aren't so new. DLP even made two orange suits in their previous Iron Man set.
Tank has been rare for a while now. An old Duo Le Pin set that is no longer available or at least hard to purchase used to have him; thankfully now that's no longer the case. Blue Steel was also rare but was remade as well, though he was still difficult to get through AliExpress at least based on the number of people looking for him.
They have Hobby Brick faces, as in they have noses.
Oh and these guys came with a Thanos buildable combiner mech. I enjoyed building the mech even though it's out of scale.
I was missing one piece though. Hopefully I find a spare in the future to complete Thanos, assuming I won't just disassemble him lol.
Kudos to DLP for the makeshift Gauntlet.
Duo Le Pin DLP9093 Grading
Plastic Quality: 5/5
No issues. Good as usual.
Print Quality: 5/5
Extra mention on Tank's helmet print. Usually brands have a hard time printing designs on Iron Man's face plate but it worked well here.
Build Quality: 5/5
And I mean the minifig articulation and helmets, they were all good. The mech too was pretty good.
Design Choice: 2/5
Even if you're an Iron Man collector, you're not gonna want all of them.
Worth it? For Tank, yes. Unfortunately, they're only usually sold in sets and not in single sale.
Though if that's the case, you might want to instead look at Kopf's set of Iron Man minifigs here that has Tank, Blue Steel, and even Rescue. They have more accessories too!
I saw these on display at AngeloMarcus Greenhills last time so they might have these for sale. If not, then I'm hoping they get some of the Kopf ones I mentioned above since those accessories look good too.
But what I really hope for are new characters, if not new Iron Man marks.
And of course, if you're confused about the Iron Man marks or just want to take a peek at what Iron Man has, check out our Iron Man minifig guide.
