Marvel Legends Series Iron Man Electronic Helmet, Multicolor

This is amazing. For years Iron Man has been my favorite Marvel Superhero, and when I saw this, it looked perfect. And it was. The helmet itself is made out of ABS plastic, but is super strong and durable. The helmet I think will fit most heads (I have a pretty big head myself and it seems a little loose), and its designed to easily take on and off. The back has a plastic panel that pops open for putting it on, and the front has a chin guard that slides back and forth (though its a tad bit hard to pull out and push back in). The mask itself has a certain heft, and has very strong magnets that keep it on (its almost too hard to pull off). When pulled off, the mask makes a sort of robotic noise, like servomotors or motors rotating, and when you put it back onto the helmet, it makes the same noise, but theres a sort of energy discharge noise, it sounds like its powering up, and then the eye holes light up. Its kind of hard to see out of the eye holes at full brightness, but there are two other settings of brightness, or you can have it turned off.Cons:-The paint on the side under the gold part of the mask was black, not grey (I myself couldn't care less, but some people might)-The magnets are a tad bit too strong, and its hard to pull the mask off-The chinstrap is tight, but from other reviews it seems after a while it will loosen up-Its hard to breathe after a while of wearing it-The plastic portion at the back is semi difficult to pop back inOverall, other than these minor nuisances, this helmet is an absolute must have for anyMarvel or Iron Man enthusiast. I wouldn't recommend this as a kids toy, but rather a colllector's piece and maybe something to wear to Comic Con in.

I got this via Amazon Warehouse Deals. It was only $65 compared to the retail price of $99. It was marked down due to some minor cosmetic imperfections. I plan on weathering the helmet a little so that was no issue for me.The item was shipped in the actual product box, no outer box. Everything looked good inside. The only minor imperfections I found were a little bit of scuff marks on the top of the helmet and these will most likely buff out with a microfiber towel and some rubbing compound.The helmet itself is nice quality and does a great job representing the Mark VII helmet as seen in The Avengers. The colors look good and there is a decent weight to the helmet.One of the features of the helmet is the removable faceplace and corresponding lights and sounds. The lights look pretty good. It is hard to see out of at full brightness, especially in dark areas. Visibility in general is very low due to the small eye holes. If you wanted this for a costume, it would be tricky to wear. It's also a little hard to breath in due to no air getting in.As a display piece, this is perfect. It is an accurate replica of Iron Man's helmet and looks great displayed on a shelf.I would definitely recommend getting it via Amazon Warehouse Deals if you want to save some money and don't mind a few scuffs (that should be able to be corrected).Pros-Accurate helmet details-light up eyes-big enough for many head sizes-good colors-price (for me at $65)Cons-rear panel of helmet doesn't stay in place that easily-hard to see/breath in (better for display and a costume piece)-can get marked or scuffed

I have followed this item for several months, reading reviews, watching videos on YouTube, and monitoring the price. The review and videos are all realistic and reasonable. Depending on what you're looking for out of this helmet and what you expect, you'll find yourself delightfully surprised or moderately disappointed. It isnt a toy, but it isnt quite collectors material. If you want a toy, buy something cheaper from the toy department at your local store. If you want a collector's piece, buy the $600 metal helmet. If you love all things Ironman and want something cool and affordable to put on the shelf next to your 'Art and The Making' Iron Man book, or a nice helmet to impress your friends and family with, this really is a cool helmet. The price moves all over the place as stock depletes. I've seen it for 90 bucks and over 200. I bought at $128 and wouldn't recommend paying any more. Wait a couple weeks, it'll drop.The back flap does not "snap into place." Its pretty lose fitting in its closed position. If you can fit your head in the helmet without needing to open the flap, I recommend super glueing that boy closed right away. The magnetic face plate is a really cool feature. It holds to the helmet securely in the closed position. It can be lifted to an open position as well. IF you secure it properly, it will hold in place while walking, bending, etc. Mistakes happen as some users have complained that it falls off. Mine has, and it was clearly my fault for not securing it properly. It's really not that hard to secure properly. The straps for the head are... weird. They sit at odd angles to the head, but they do the trick. I dont have a huge head or a small head. I do have some space between my temple and the helmet on each side which means it shakes freely left and right while wearing. I placed adhesive foam tape (about .5 inches thick) on the cheek, temple, and ear locations on each side of the helmet. They blend in well with the natural interior and look like they belong. It reduced the wiggle about 90 percent! I'll post a video in the next few weeks.Overall great helmet for the shelf or cosplay. Very satisfied with the purchase and recommend this product to Ironman fans.
