This is an Iron Man Armoury set, so the main drawcards are the Iron Man armours, and this set comes with four, along with one new never-before-seen-in-LEGO ones – Iron Man Mark 25 (with the punchy gloves), as well as Mark 85 (in this configuration), his most advanced armour, powered by advanced nanotechnology and seen in Avengers-Endgame. He has a dual-sided face, and great back printing as well. You also have the option to unmask him, and give Ivan his ponytail wig. The printing on Whiplash’s armour, legs and even feet is fantastic, although I would’ve loved some arm and side leg printing. He comes in a bootleg Iron Man armour, which does look quite cool, thanks to the shoulderpads that add some bulk to it, as well as the one-piece helmet.
More excitingly, the set features the antagonist of Iron Man 2, Ivan Vanko, better known as his alias Whiplash which finally gets a LEGO minifigure version. Good news if you don’t have those sets mentioned, but bad news if you do, as you’ll double up on these. Here’s a look at their alternate faces, and back printing. Oh, and Pepper Potts is also recycled from 76190 Iron Monger Mayhem. Tony is the same version as the one 76194 Tony Stark’s Saakarian Iron Man, as is Nick Fury which is identical to the one from Spider-Man Far From Home sets. Here’s a closer look at Tony Stark, Pepper Potts, and Nick Fury. Great line-up, even if there are a few recycled minifigures like Nick Fury. Props to the graphic design team for these.ħ6216 Iron Man Armoury is packed with minifigures, and teeming with new Iron Man armour, as well as the debut of the Whiplash minifigure.įrom left to right, we have Pepper Potts, Nick Fury, Iron Man Mark 3, War Machine (new), Whiplash (new), Iron Man Mark 85 (new-ish), Tony Stark, and Iron Man Mark 25 (Striker armour). filled with schematics as well as minifigure-sized diagrams of Iron Man armours, which I think add a lot to the set. You get these transparent display panels.
Here’s a look at the sticker sheet, which I actually quite like. I do not like this design, and I think I’ve found my new pet peeve, after the 18+ bleak black box design, so apologies because I will complain every time I encounter one of these unfinished looking designs, which really don’t do the set justice. Price: AU$149.99 | US$89.99 | £TBD- Buy from įirst thing’s first, here is the new look 2022 standardised LEGO manual, with the white borders, and awful, unfinished CG-render of the set out the front. Special thanks to the LEGO Group for providing this set for review 76216 Iron Man Armoury – Set Details See below for regional pricing and links. I’m not sure if this set is really necessary, as 76125 Iron Man Hall of Armour has only just retired, but Iron Man minifigures and new armours always seem to make good business sense for LEGO, and we also have a slightly updated Hall of Armour design, again, which may or may not be good news for LEGO Iron Man fans.ħ6216 Iron Man Armoury will be releases worldwide on 1 June 2022, so unlike some of the other Summer 2022 themes that will arrive later in North America and Australia, there’ll at least be some new Marvel sets to tide fans over. It’s LEGO Marvel’s 10th Anniversary this year as well, and a decade in, LEGO have also sought to introduce a brand new LEGO Iron Man helmet design, which may or may not be good news to LEGO Iron Man fans. Ahead of the Summer 2022 1 June releases, I am happy to bring you an early review of 76216 Iron Man Armoury, an upcoming LEGO Marvel Super Heroes set that takes us back to the beleaguered Iron Man 2 (kinda).
