Iron Man Neo-classic
Recipe:
Body: Neo-classic Iron Man
Hands: Heroes Reborn Iron Man
Ankles: Small Optimus Prime Kreo
New parts:
Head: 2-pack Iron Man unmasked

This is really more of a fix. First of all, the shoulder armor was unpainted while the rest of the armor is a nice metallic red, so those needed paint. Next, the hands were terrible so those got replaced, but the worst were how the ankles could not sit flat, and made it fall over all the time. Found some big ball joints in a Kreo set and tore out everything to install them. Ball-jointed ankles with good range of motion made a huge difference.
And then to update it, I put that Tony Stark head on there. Ta-da.
Ok, not much of an update but the next one is legit and then it's into the new stuff!

Wow! Great improvement on that figure in every way. I'm looking forward to getting the new version without the huge arm/leg guantlets. This does remind me of the great Bob Layton IM comics.

Thanks! I am a huge fan of the Layton/Romita run on Iron Man, so I take that as a big compliment!

Cool! Looking forward to finally grabbing this one when the ToyBiz wave comes out. This was the armor I really remember getting hooked on (besides the original red/gold).

I love this armor too and it is sadly served bu the lackluster one ML did. I got it to where I like it here.

Great improvements. This is one of my favorite Iron Man figures and would probably get the #1 spot if it wasn't a bit under sized ( as most of the Toybiz and Hasbro Stark figures are IMO ).

undersized for sure. the new ankles get it a bit taller, but the small head is still an issue.

Excellent modifications! This Iron Man reminds me a lot of the Bob Layton run on the comics. Great custom!
