Found this today, Wolverine was there also in this form and looked pretty good. I might have to pick him up next.

John, I came across them as well today and had the same impulse! Love the
packaging for these guys too:
I'll wait until the second wave to pick up anymore.

I have a Boba Fett Mighty Mugg - man these must be so cheap to produce - they are all pretty much the exact same sculpt. Just different paint jobs. they still look great though.

I like the modern Iron Man a lot. I think it's a perfect example of modernization that retains many elements of the "classic" design.
That being said, the Golden Avenger armor will always be by favorite. It's been brought up many times before, but it is ironic that given the form-fitting nature of the classic armor, logic would seem to dictate that the technology required would have to be even more sophisticated than the modern version.

It's that whole "perceived value" nonsense. I was reading a while back
about a composer who worked for Hollywood, and who grumbled that
the Stuio execs knew from nothing when it came to music, and, with a
full orchestra at their disposal, if the composer came in with a score for
the opening credits of a movie that used only five instruments, the execs
would complain that they were not getting their "money's worth".
Same thing has happened with fictional technology -- most noticeably on
STAR TREK, where it used to take five buttons to run a starship, and now
it takes five hundred. Iron Man has been similarly dealt with. When I was
doing AVENGERS WEST COAST, Howard Mackie (as editor) and I used to
talk about all the faux tech that was expected to cover the walls of
labs and the like, when, if truly "advanced", the Avengers could probably
run everything with a gadget smaller than a cell phone.

Funny. The Iron Man Mugg was the only one I couldn't find. I bought the Wolverine, Spider-Man, and Venom though. I could have skipped on the Venom though.

Was the composer in question John Williams?
