LEGO Made the Best Iron Man Suit into a Stunning Set Aimed at Adult Marvel Fans

The new LEGO Iron Man Mark 3 Collectors' Edition is a scaled replica of Tony Stark's suit from the 2008 movie Iron Man. It has a cool-looking, ostentatious design; in the movie, J.A.R.V.I.S. drily comments on its 'discretion' before painting it hot rod red and golden. Admiring its corresponding LEGO model, I'm struck by how the dimensions of the suit – the build of the shoulders, the wideness of the back, the cinch of the waist – are critical to the final, iconic look. The suit looks like something that was custom-built to one man's body and specifications – a fitted tuxedo rather than a Men's Wearhouse rental off the rack. It reinforces the recurring theme that Tony Stark is Iron Man, and his two identities are inseparable. LEGO has released numerous Marvel replicas before, but the branding of this set as a 'Collectors' Edition' implies there might be more coming. Armor variants would be the easiest option for followup sets, since they would not require LEGO to articulate a human face in brick form. But a Spider-Man, Black Panther, or Starlord figurine – any character design that covers the face – could work equally well. The build comes in 11 bags, and you build the set increment
