Furthermore, larger mechs commonly struggle with articulation because of their weight, leaving little opportunity for functional joints. 76210 Hulkbuster exemplifies this continued problem. The shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers are articulated, but these alone are insufficient for dynamic posing without any head or waist motion. The static legs are also awkward, although articulated legs were understandably unfeasible. Both arms narrow around the shoulder and elbow joints, which is disappointing after 71411 The Mighty Bowser demonstrated that similar joints can be disguised. The forearms and hands look superb though, including reinforced metallic gold armour. 242 drum-lacquered gold elements are provided in total, more than any other set. Some metallic gold and pearl gold pieces are included though, recreating the protective actuator covers from the original Hulkbuster. The protruding details on the front of each foot also reflect the source material. However, the whole foot structure should be bulkier and integrated properly with the ankles, rather than relying upon a few scattered panels to disguise this transition.

But in all seriousness, every review I have seen on Youtube, this thing looks like it is so top heavy and will topple over if they accidentally bump the table. It looks incomplete in a lot of places, and over-detailed in other places, making it look look bulky and bare bones at the same time, with some sections looking out of proportion. Official images present the shoulder armour folded against the torso, as shown below. I cannot understand why because these armour panels are adjustable and they should cling to the upper arms, rather than the chest. Also, the pectoral chest plates are vastly oversized and seem quite flat, given they are not angled properly. IBut obviously I'm just guessing here. I bet they could have made a great documentary of the development process of this set...."While those inaccuracies are inexcusable, in my opinion, the scale of this model is undoubtedly striking. The figure measures 52cm in height and the biggest LEGO mech to date, comfortably surpassing even 21311 Voltron! In fact, the previous direct-to-consumer Hulkbuster, 76105 The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition, looks surprisingly small beside its modern counterpart. The finishing on the sides of the torso also leaves something to be desired, with gaps continuing underneath the shoulder joints. I like the golden bands around the sides though, which roughly correspond with the source material. The metallic gold details on the torso are correctly situated too, but become easily dislodged because they are each attached using one stud.

There’s a lot that is unexpectedly different about 76206 Iron Man Figure, in ways that as you build it you can immediately appreciate, and then once complete you can really enjoy, and it’s just as fair to say then that there’s also a lot that is unexpectedly good about 76206 Iron Man Figure. II'd think it's more likely Lego's own marketing department were adamant on that one feature, as a way to push the sales of that set a bit. If done right it would have benefited Lego, not so much Disney/Marvel."

The Completed Model

The new Hulkbuster was developed in scale with 76206 Iron Man Figure, which slots inside the chest. The models are therefore correctly scaled together, although they also share proportional issues. Ultimately, while the size of the Hulkbuster is impressive, establishing its scale in relation to an unremarkable buildable figure was probably not a wise decision. And wow, it looks just as bad as it did at first. I like the look of the sheer scale. You could build a small base in that torso! But as a UCS hulkbuster this thing is just... This was maybe the worst thing I’ve seen out of LEGO in quite a while. Smells cash grabby to me. It ultimately will not be.

Metallic gold highlights are scattered across the Hulkbuster and those surrounding the head are effective. The ingots on the chest look splendid and I like the decorated dome as well, faithfully replicating details from the onscreen mech. Unfortunately, the head is fixed too low between the shoulders, which completely ruins the shape. Also, go to a shop like Action and see how much licensed Disney crap is sold there. It doesn't seem they actually care that much. As long as you pay the fees you can make whatever terrible product you want."LEGO has produced almost fifty versions of Tony Stark and Iron Man since 2012 and the latest edition is relatively bland, unfortunately. This minifigure takes inspiration from Avengers: Age of Ultron and the scene in which Tony supervises the completion of Vision, sporting his partial Iron Man armour. The design therefore reflects the movie, but choosing this minifigure to accompany the Hulkbuster seems odd. There are no minifigures included in 76206 Iron Man Figure, because the entire set is just one large figure… — Price —

The proportional issues with this rendition of the Hulkbuster are immediately noticeable, as there are various areas of concern. The torso has been stretched, the head is recessed too much and the legs are too narrow, which spoils the Hulkbuster's stance. Taken in isolation, some sections feature considerable detail and look superb, but the overall model is poor. Of course, a rigid structure was needed because the interior is almost completely hollow. Light bluish grey 2x2x16 columns are employed to good effect here and the strain on the shoulders is noticeable, although they feel secure. The empty interior is only interrupted by a support which slots underneath 76206 Iron Man Figure, located behind the arc reactor. They're based in convenient locations including supermarkets, newsagents and train stations. Plus they're often open late and on Sundays.Items that are not available in store will take 3-5 working days (excluding weekends and bank holidays) to be delivered to your nominated store.
