Once again a little disappointing but not a deal breaker. The upper body rotates side to side, turns left and right, and bend down a good amount and goes back slightly. I only bring this up due to the ability to make Tony fly. The head is on a dumbbell joint that moves around fine, but his head going back is a bit limiting due the sculpt. Stark may be limited to some, but overall I think he works good. I have to tip my hat to the DST team for the hard work they pulled off. Many comic based figures tend to loose something in plastic form, and with this figure, based on the artwork I have looked at, he is pretty damn spot on. the design of the figure just feels like Tony Stark jumped off the comic page. For under 30 bucks, this figure looks more like a 100 dollar figure. The metallic red and silver paint job catches your eye and is really beautiful. I really have to point out just how damn beautiful this figure is. Let’s break him down and examine this figure a bit more in depth. Other versions have come out from different companies, but for this reviewer, this version has to be by far the most amazing version yet. But the Avengers knew the truth, and Stark alienated Steve Rogers (who was then known as the Captain) in IRON MAN #228 when he put his quest for vengeance against all other considerations.Today in the Toyverse, I travel back down the Marvel Select route, and look at one of Diamond Select’s newest offerings, that of course being the Silver Centurion Iron Man. So he was able to play it off as Iron Man’s rogue vendetta as opposed to implicating himself. Stark’s own designs were being used by several villains and even a few heroes.Īt the time, Stark still had a secret identity. IRON MAN #225 kicked off the “Armor Wars” arc, where Stark discovered that some of his technology had been stolen and disseminated to the criminal underworld. It truly had staying power, and it was the armor that Stark wore into one of his biggest stories to date. Iron Man’s new look lasted almost three years, which is an eternity in comics. Inside that armor, Stark must have truly felt like a new man. The silver in the design was also quite striking, although those shoulder pads were pure ‘80s-awesome.
Between its Pulse Bolts, heat lance, improved flight capability, and the upgraded Repulsors and uni-beam, the Silver Centurion was a breathtaking achievement for Stark. Stark also installed a force field, which was a big power drain and lasted only a few seconds. The armor was also designed to absorb any form of energy, including heat. But eventually, it was time for Stark to reclaim what was his in the landmark IRON MAN #200. Rhodes was so entrenched in the role that he even traveled to Battleworld for 1985’s SECRET WARS and joined the West Coast Avengers as a founding member. In his place, James Rhodes took on the mantle of Iron Man. Stark had fallen off the wagon of sobriety, and he was no longer able or willing to be Iron Man. The Silver Centurion debuted in 1985 at a time when Tony Stark hadn’t been wearing the armor since IRON MAN #169 in 1983. It has even appeared in Marvel Studios’ “Iron Man” and “Iron Man 2,” and it’s become the signature symbol of ol’ Shell-Head’s ‘80s adventures. The Silver Centurion was a marked departure for Iron Man, and it was easily the most advanced armor for its time. But in the ‘80s, Stark created the Iron Man Armor Model #8, or as it’s more commonly known, the Silver Centurion armor. Stark usually favors the red and gold designs, which have become Iron Man’s iconic colors. Since his debut in TALES OF SUSPENSE #39 in 1963, Tony Stark has been consistently tinkering with his Iron Man armor and constantly upgrading it.
