About this deal

In terms of positives, at the very least the helmet does look like Iron Man, and can be recognized quite easily especially from afar. Includes high-quality, easy-to-follow instructions – so you can open the box and embark on your fascinating project without delay Part of a series of LEGO® Marvel models designed to deliver a satisfying build-and-display experience that will appeal to any fan of model making or comic-book culture.

I’ve saved the worst for last – the chin. The chin is easily the poorest part of the build, and just looks wrong. I know the designers were aiming for the little mouth gap, but the execution is just all wrong.The box is in the new 18+ design, which is fairly minimalist, and has some embellishments such as the Avengers and Iron Man logo. Test your creative construction superpowers with the LEGO Marvel Avengers Iron Man Helmet; If you’re an adult Marvel fan or model-building enthusiast, this buildable display model is for you It’s easy to criticise and hard to compliment sometimes. 76165 Iron Man Helmet is incredibly flawed as an accurate portrayal of its source material and first impressions will only reflect that. However, a more considered appreciation for the artistic creation that it is can be found, over time. Take the position that this is more of a subjective impression of an iconic character, for instance. Whilst the positioning of Iron Man’s features aren’t as expected or hoped within 76165 Iron Man Helmet, they are all still there, and eventually, once the eye accepts things, the helmet’s ‘face’ does start to appear. It’s a model that has potential to grow on you. Unfortunately, 76165 Iron Man Helmet does not deliver where it needs to most, as a display model that accurately recreates an iconic Marvel character’s helmet. It’s a scale, working budget and build approach that is clearly providing a few challenges for the LEGO design teams in both Marvel and Star Wars in these early sets. By focusing on these edges, LEGO designers managed to create a precise shape for their model. Just know that this process won’t be seamless. You will have gaps throughout the model. But with proper color use and clever layering you can minimize the visibility of these gaps. APPLYING WHAT YOU LEARN

That’s it for this look at all the LEGO Iron Man Suits and Armors! I hope you enjoyed that long read 🙂

Our difference

There’s a lot of confusion going on with the design – is this meant to be a SNOT, or is it meant to have studs? The hybrid approach where they go for both just doesn’t quite work. Whether you’re a Marvel fan, a LEGO lover or both, this 480-piece construction kit will provide you with a challenging build and absorbing escapism; It makes a great birthday gift, holiday present or personal treat The build was fairly brisk – only taking about an hour of casual building, so is perfect for a lazy weekend build that will scratch a LEGO itch without having to commit a heap of time. This armor is the Mark 51, but is better known as the Invincible Iron Man suit. It does not appear in the Marvel Cinematic Universe movies, but is instead from the comic books. This suit was worn by Tony Stark and later Riri Williams. This minifigure was released in 2017, sporting a bright red and golden design that resembles comic books more than the grittier MCU. The most significant change was the new helmet — a brand new mold that did not have an opening face plate. Rather, the face plate was printed onto a flat surface. This piece caused quite a stir amongst LEGO fans when it was first revealed but fortunately the original helmet mold was still used for MCU Iron Man minifigures. This new helmet mold would later be used for other minifigures like Super Adaptoid, Vulture, Wasp, and Rinzler (from Tron). The end result is quite striking, especially with the new drum-lacquered gold elements that make the front mask. The glint of these elements does grab your attention with its metallic sheen.
