Tony Stark makes me feel
Shortpacked!: Can't get no satisfaction.
He's a cool exec with a heart of steel!
As Steve-o had attested, Iron Man toys were occupying an endcap now at the local Target. I found one Mark 01 version left, with mostly normal-ish Iron Men and Target's exclusive version filling the pegs. Sweetness!
Iron Man Mark 01 is basically the real-life version of the original Iron Man suit, which was a lumbering iron-colored affair. He looks slow, ploddering, and monstrous, especially compared to the sleek and sexy number he wears today. That appeals to me.
True to its origins, the Mark 01 suit looks like it was soldered together using whatever metal parts were available. It's almost steampunk, but not quite. He's asymmetrical. And the little conveyor belts in his thighs are pretty awesome. This Iron Man can kick your ass, even though it looks not incredibly agile.
His poseability matches his looks. The photo shows the extent of his elbow and knee motion. This may be a detriment to some, but it makes sense to me. Why would I want to put this design in a dynamic pose anyway? He's supposed to lumber around at a turtle's pace belching fire. He's a tank.
