Avengers Marvel Legends Full Scale Iron Man Electronic Helmet

I don't normally post reviews too often but felt I should as there seems to be some (in my opinion) unfair reviews of this product.This is a quality reproduction of the Iron Man helmet from the Avengers films.It is a plastic helmet which to be fair is well made, granted you wouldn't want to drop it on the floor as it will probably break, but none the less it is still pretty sturdy.the helmet has a variety of adjustment points to allow it to fit most heads (I have a small head so luckily I can just put it on without any problems and it fits snugly).The eyes light up at the touch of a button under the chin, and do so with a cool power up sound effect. Be aware that when the eyes are lit up you can't really see anything out of the face plate.Speaking of which, the face plate if detachable from the rest of the helmet, it is held in place by surprisingly strong magnets and can take some effort to get off, when you do take it off, again you get a nice sound effect of Iron Mans mask raising.The paint job is both one of the best aspects and the worst of the helmet.The best -the paint job makes the helmet look fantastic, the quality of the red and gold is perfect and makes the helmet not too shiny and also not too dull, they have properly achieved the iron man look from the movies (later movies – Avengers onwards), people mistakenly think that the gold should be really shiny, this is not the case, it should have a matt look to it.The worst -It scratches easily - ignoring the fact that there may be some minor imperfections (an unfortunate consequence of mass production) such as minor paint run, chips, my helmet had some, which no-one else noticed but I did.The paint can scratch easily, which, if you want to put the helmet into the 'open' position means you need to be more careful than you think you should due to the magnets (in the back of the face plate section) having sharp edges and therefore damaging that beautiful paintwork, they should have made the paint much, much harder wearing.Other reviews have stated that this product is worth no more than £40. I disagree, you just need to know what your buying, in order to purchase proper professional looking FX replicas you will pay 3x the price being offered here by Hasbro.This is an attempt to give people the opportunity to buy a realistic Iron Man helmet at an 'affordable price' for £40 you wouldn't even be able to get a helmet that covered your whole head, you'd get a 'mask'Please also bear in mind, this is not a toy (even though it is made by a toy company) it is really for either display purposes or cosplay, if you put this in the hands of children it Will get broken (it Isn't made of Iron).But if you are a collector of prop replicas then I'd say you can't go wrong with this, just make sure you do your research first (check out YouTube reviews of the helmet) to ensure you aren't disappointed, (thinking you’re buying something you’re not).

This thing is just fantastic!Mine arrived today and I can't stop smiling......I feel like a child again.Great build quality, lovely finish on it too.Just stunning and worth every penny.

Totally awesome, it takes pride of place on my bookcase when it isn't on my head, fits all sizes of heads so anyone can join in the fun of being Tony Stark.

This is my honest opinion on the marvel legends iron man helmet.Firstly the helmet is well made in construction and we'll detailed inside and out.Secondly the paint they used on the helmet seems to be very thin and would not try to clean it or rub hard with a damp cloth as ive notice the colour will run onto the cloth I would try to use a protective spray over the helmet.Thirdly I think the helmet is slightly over priced as in the USA you can now buy the same item for $72 so if you can find this for under £100 in the UK you'd be lucky and also I think that the hasbro black series stormtrooper helmet is much better and value for money.Finally if you do get this helmet you could actually spray it to give it a more metalic look as the paint job could have been better. I think this helmet should be priced at around the £69.99 mark and match the hasbro stormtrooper helmet.

Unfortunately this does not look as professional in the flesh as it does in the photos, the gold is dull and not remotely shiny, it's absolutely enormous and the whole thing feels quite cheap and flimsy, the section at the back does not connect properly and comes open at the slightest touch... Worth £40 or so tops so how they can sell for over £130 is beyond me, returned for a refund 5 minutes after opening... Incredibly disappointing.. As a buyer of collectibles and figures this just does not represent value for money, I am not expecting a premium piece but I am expecting something that is more than just a slightly upgraded child's helmet, in everything but sizeAmend: 11.01.17 - The price point on this has just been dropped to £85 which would suggest either mass overbuying by Amazon or recognition that the original £135 price was excessive

The media could not be loaded. This came from Rheinberg DE,from what i see from the tracking updates.NO wonder it was Packed so well.Really nice looking.The eye lights could be a bit brighter tho.This was packed and hidden in an outer cardboard box UNLIKE my STORM TROOPER helmet.Well packed but i would rather More scrunched up cardboard paper inside to protect the iron man helmet box being a Collector.Just lucky it hasn't been chucked about otherwise the iron man box Would've been damaged.Helmet was well wrapped in polythene.Sound effects are good,when you lift up the face.Magnets hold the face in place.

For the price it's a decent collectible. Mine sits on a shelf with some other helmets.To wear it's incredibly fiddly. The faceplate wants to pop off with a slight nudge, the back is incredibly frustrating to try and seal. If you wear glasses it's going to be a very tight fit. My frames are quite small but I can't imagine getting it to fit with larger frames.It's an odd product because it's perfectly suited to children but the price seems incredibly high for a child's toy, yet doesn't quite meet the mark for collectors.I wouldn't call it a total waste of money, just be aware that it's better as a display piece than something practical.
