Cool fig. I became a collector of IM figs during the pandemic, otherwise known as the Great Lego Theme Collection Expansion of '20. This is 1 of 2 that I'm still missing.
And the award goes to Tony Stark for most free time, literally ever.
This guy made around 90 suits (MCU) according to a quick internet search, which is just so, so many for something so, so unnecessary.
Alright, Guesses on the next new theme to feature. Chima? Hidden side? Or Maybe Elves?
@Randomness: Well, there was that PTSD-induced suit building funk he got in during his second and third movies. I still remember seeing an action figure for Iron Man III and thinking, "Wait, Mark LVII? He wasn't even up to X at the end of Avengers!" As for after he got over the PTSD, I guess he just kept having ideas. Or maybe he wasn't as over it as he thought
Hey, it’s LEGO Batman’s password!
Lego has made surprising few Marks into minifigs considering how many Stark made. Let's not forget that Tony Stark was able to make them in a CAVE, with a BOX OF SCRAPS. I know you're not Tony Stark, but still, get working, Lego!
Always like the flip open mask and visors.
@PurpleDave: No, that's 76210.
As soon as the massive Hulkbuster set was announced I bought the set that includes this minifig. (76105)
It had a lukewarm response at the time of release but it's a cool display set. And reading the comments on the official Brickset review is pretty entertaining because you could mistake them for being about 76210. I'm just glad I got a large sub-$550 Hulkbuster.
Of all the Iron Mans that could have shown up on RMOTD, it just happens to be the ONE Iron Man that I DON'T own.
Time to go hunting for this one, I s'pose.
No doubt the first of many given just how many Iron Mans Lego have done
has he lost his mind?
does he see or is he blind?
can he walk at all?
or if he moves, will he fall?
I miss the old helmets...
Most valuable RMotD so far?

Ah yes, because when Lego Batman takes cheap shots at Disney’s properties, it’s all good. Making Lego Star Wars characters look like idiots and insulting a Marvel superhero? All part of the job.
We will now get nothing by Ironman mini figs for the next 3 months
Iron Man, Iron Man
Does whatever an iron can;
presses pants really fine,
keeps those pleats right in line
Hey there, there goes the Iron Man!
@Autoboty and @Brickalili: The question is,should that be Iron Mans or Iron Men? Also Autoboty, I'm assuming you're not counting https://brickset.com/minifigs/sh850/tony-stark-dark-bluish-gray-iron-man-suit-with-dark-red-right-arm as an Iron Man, since he wasn't wearing the armor. Or do you own that one?

Good observation. By quite a margin.

An Iron Manifold.
Crazy to think that this minifigure is infinitely better than the excuse they gave us in the most recent UCS Hulkbuster.

Between Avengers and IM3 he went from 7 to 42 due to the PTSD of looking through an alien wormhole.
After IM3 it was a new suit per film for a while (up until MK50 in Infinity War)
Then suddenly up to 85 in Endgame.
Guessing another round of PTSD in those 5 years

35 in five years is pretty decent considering half his supply chain was wiped out, unless it’s a low bar to be deemed an iteration.

I like singing that song too. I also like
Spider-Woman, Spider-Woman
Does whatever a spider can;
Flies through the air on her wings,
Shoots laser beams from her hands
Hey man, there goes the Spider-Woman

According to comics-writer Al Ewing, whose mutant superpower is to clean up the messes of lesser writers, Stark uses suit-building as a focus, the way other people doodle or tend to Zen-gardens. In a recent cross-over event, a bio-weapon was set to explode in Wakanda (which would destroy all animal-life on Earth) around the same time as the actual sun was set to explode (which also wouldn't be great), both events being on roughly the same ten-minute timer. With ten minutes left to live, Stark tinkers with a new suit, to the annoyance of Reed Richards.

"Should you REALLY be spending your time building yet another SUIT OF ARMOR?"
@Stark said:
"THIS is MY process. I think in SUITS, Reed."
Mind your own business, Richards.

I would argue that is quite slow.
Considering he built the same number in just a year between 2012 and 2013.
That's a new one approximately every 10 days.

Admittedly, that is the only thing he was doing. Also iron man 3 takes place in December 2012

Pleats.... sooooo 90s. ;)
I remember selling Z. Cavariccis at the shop I was working in the 90s on my way through college. The gabardine had 7 pleats... on each side!!!
BTW, the kids have no idea what 'working your way through college' even means. The Millennials, Gen Z, etc. They are so entitled, spoiled, and loud!!!
Good luck buyng a house."
Same to you.
You know didn't work through college and had it paid for by their parents? My mom and dad. Boomers. You know who did work all through college. Me? Millennial. Just because you Ave a very exclusive and narrow frame of reference.... yourself... doesn't mean it universally applies.
I find your generationion to be entitled spoiled and loud and WHINEY!
