Made from around 1,500 elements, it took nearly two years of design tweaks to bring this beauty to life. Imagine my delight, then, when Brickatecture moc industries revealed their amazing, wearable, and 1:1 scale helmet from the Mk 5.
#Lego iron man portable
I had thought that the “reality” of the MCU would keep Tony Stark from ever having a portable version of his armor, and being proven wrong tasted sweet indeed. In particular, I loved the inclusion of the comic-book classic “Suitcase Armor” of the Mark 5. Personally, I think it’s just fine, and there are some standout moments that make it special. To many, 2010’s Iron Man 2 is one of the lower points. It’s fair to say that the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) has had its share of ups and downs over the years. Read on to check out the detailed back side I particularly like the pistons in the knee assembly and the printed 1×1 round tile used in the feet. The rest of the build, though, feels a bit closer to 2018’s 76104: The Hulkbuster Smash-Up (I mentioned we’d seen a few of these from LEGO, right?) The detailing is much improved here, with bulkier legs and better integration of the angles in the chest armor. The key piece of the build is the Hulkbuster canopy from 2015’s 76031: The Hulk Buster Smash.
#Lego iron man upgrade
Case in point, Sam.C (S2 Toys Studios) brings us an excellent upgrade indeed. We’ve seen a few LEGO-released versions of it over the years, but the LEGO community always seems to take things one step further. Sounds kind of silly, but you have to admit that the Hulkbuster does get results. His answer? Put on another suit of armor on top of the one he’s already wearing. Take, for example, the case when his regular armor isn’t studly enough. Say what you will about Tony Stark, but sometimes it feels like he has the same solution for every problem: Put a suit of armor on it. All in all, this is an instantly recognizable take on a classic character. But the part that made me grin the most was the life preserver used to represent the suit’s ARC reactor. Hero Factory parts also factor in heavily, including the central breast plate. I love the Bionicle part usage in the gold Toa Metru Knee Covers on the upper arms, and the Bohroks shields at the waist. After finding the right pieces for the helmet, it only made sense to continue on with the rest of the suit. has come to the rescue with a cool take on the design.Īccording to the builder, this creation was the result of playing around with the elements LEGO has released in gold. It was the first red and gold version, and it really did feel like it had stepped off the comic book page and into reality. That’s the iconic suit at the center of 2008’s Iron Man, the film that really kicked off the MCU. One that doesn’t get nearly enough love, though, is the Mark III. We’ve seen a number of LEGO versions of Iron Man’s suits over the years. It’d make for a great, space-efficient diorama!

Makes me wonder what other Marvel Moments might be possible at this scale. It may be a “simple” build of slopes and plates, but it adds great depth and context to the scene. Without this jagged rock backdrop, you might have mistaken the figure for a robot or even a sci-fi spacesuit.

It’s amazing how much information you can get from just six tiny LEGO elements.Īs impressive as the armor is, it’s also important to call out the setting Josephine built for it. Not only does that part provide all the necessary attachment points, it also transforms the central LEGO stud into a perfect ARC reactor. But the real star is the torso – made from a single roller skate. The round helmet (looks like the base of a lever to me) conveys the right shaping. The legs, made of robot claws add some weight to the hips, and the connection grooves on the minifigure hands that make the arms manage to suggest elbow joints. As you’d expect at this tiny size, there’s a lot of meaning packed into each and every piece. Now, a mere 12 years later, Josephine Monterosso pays tribute with an amazing microscale rendition of the Mark I armor. Way back in May of 2008, the Marvel Cinematic Universe kicked off with Iron Man.
