The LEGO Group was founded in Billund, Denmark in 1932 by Ole Kirk Kristiansen, its name derived from the two Danish words LEg GOdt, which mean “Play Well”. Today, the LEGO Group remains a family-owned company headquartered in Billund. However, its products are now sold in more than 130 countries worldwide. Problems continue on the chest. Rather than gradually bowing outwards and presenting the arc reactor proudly at the centre of the torso, the armour actually curves inwards. I do like the trans-opalescent blue Fresnel lens though, which was introduced in trans-clear with 21335 Motorised Lighthouse. This vibrant colour clearly stands out against the surrounding dark red armour. They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays. There are no minifigures included in 76206 Iron Man Figure, because the entire set is just one large figure… — Price — Official images present the shoulder armour folded against the torso, as shown below. I cannot understand why because these armour panels are adjustable and they should cling to the upper arms, rather than the chest. Also, the pectoral chest plates are vastly oversized and seem quite flat, given they are not angled properly.
In summary, I think a combination of factors has brought us to this sad point of Hulk-diaper-buster sets with a price similar to a desktop computer or even a refrigerator. A) Lego Greed, B) consumers who showed no discretion in Lego purchasing habits and C) a capitulation to intellectual properties (IPs) that has almost completely replaced original and in-house Lego themes. 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. The proportions to the model will take a bit of getting used to, as they are more authentic to those of the real world than those typical to LEGO, and it results in a built figure that stands tall and skinny, with long arms, big feet and a high-placed, relatively small head. However, as your eyes settle and take in the anatomy, use of colour and smooth contours and tiling that has been applied around the entire frame, 76206 Iron Man Figure begins to come to life. 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.These 3x3 round tiles glow in the dark, as shown below. However, the smaller repulsors above the ankles are represented by metallic silver 2x2 dishes, while the glow-in-the-dark pieces are inexplicably placed inside the palm repulsors. I honestly wondered whether I had made an error while building here, but the instructions definitely show metallic silver dishes on the legs.
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.

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." Metallic gold highlights are scattered across the Hulkbuster and those surrounding the head are effective. The ingots on the chest look splendid and I like the decorated dome as well, faithfully replicating details from the onscreen mech. Unfortunately, the head is fixed too low between the shoulders, which completely ruins the shape.
The new Hulkbuster was developed in scale with 76206 Iron Man Figure, which slots inside the chest. The models are therefore correctly scaled together, although they also share proportional issues. Ultimately, while the size of the Hulkbuster is impressive, establishing its scale in relation to an unremarkable buildable figure was probably not a wise decision. 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."

Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store. I'd rather celebrate winner Lego sets with the community, but that is becoming less frequent. The Hulk-diaper-buster is a loser, represents a bad trend for Lego, and I will not pretend otherwise. " LEGO fans are sometimes guilty of hyperbole, particularly when criticising sets. However, I feel comfortable in saying this is among the weakest modern direct-to-consumer sets. The copious major inaccuracies are totally unacceptable at this scale and the Hulkbuster's design is severely compromised to accommodate 76206 Iron Man Figure, which was certainly not worthwhile.
There’s a lot that is unexpectedly different about 76206 Iron Man Figure, in ways that as you build it you can immediately appreciate, and then once complete you can really enjoy, and it’s just as fair to say then that there’s also a lot that is unexpectedly good about 76206 Iron Man Figure.The finishing on the sides of the torso also leaves something to be desired, with gaps continuing underneath the shoulder joints. I like the golden bands around the sides though, which roughly correspond with the source material. The metallic gold details on the torso are correctly situated too, but become easily dislodged because they are each attached using one stud.
Great Deal
