We've only had this toy for two days now so I can't make any comments as to it's durability, but I have to agree with what the other reviewer said - for the price realistic looking (plastic not "iron" or metal of course so some might consider it a bit "cheap" looking) with a limited number of nonetheless (from a child's point of view at least) very cool sound effects - iron man has a little trigger thing on his foot, when you lift him up he makes machine-like swooshing through the air sounds - theroetically when you put him down (thereby pressing the trigger on his foot again) he stops making the noise though I found you have to press him down on the ground a bit firmly for that to happen - when you move his arm a little light in the palm of his hand lights up and it makes a laser blasting sound - he says "I am Iron Man" and "Repulsor Beam" (name for his laser). Fires plastic projectiles too so be careful, make sure your munchkins don't hit another kid in the eye (or just take away the projectiles - BEFORE giving your munchkin the toy to avoid crying and wailing). Runs on 3 double AA batteries (included). Decent amount of articulation on it. Very faithful to the original concept of iron man which I'm familiar with as a comic book fan. Worth the twenty dollars IF your child is asking for an iron man toy, otherwise you'll find it overpriced if you buy it as a "surprise" gift for a munchkin who may or may not be interested in it. To make the toy "come to life" for your munchkin check out the website mentioned in the instruction booklet, it has online iron-man games your little one can play (hopefully an Iron Man cartoon will appear on TV soon as a tie-in) .

This is a pretty darn cool action figure! My only gripe is that there are not enough points of articulation. The paint job is top notch, solid construction and cool electronic voice and sounds make this a must have for any kid 8-80yrs of age!

It seems like I've been waiting just about forever for someone to release a 12" scale Iron Man figure. My wait came to an end with the arrival of the Repulsor Power Iron Man figure from Hasbro's Iron Man movie toy line.

This isn't a perfect figure, but it's still pretty impressive. It's very close in appearance - if not scale - to the movie Iron Man, and the attention to detail is quite good. The head seems way small, especially if there's supposed to be a person in there. I would love to have seen a version of this figure with a removable helmet.

On the plus side, the electronic features are extremely cool. Beyond a few stock phrases ("I am Iron Man", "Repulsor Blast", "Switching to Auxiliary Power"), the figure also has a light up torso and left hand repulsor, and features motion activated sound effects for flight and landing (there's a trigger on the right boot) as well as repulsor sounds when the left arm is moved.

On the minus side, the figure is not as articulated as I had hoped. The head moves, as do the arms (but only forward), elbows, legs, and knees. The wrists do not move, which is understandable at least on the right hand with its missile launcher. The ankles do not move either, which is a bit disappointing. Of course, my figure will spend 99.9% of its time displayed on a bookshelf, so articulation is a relatively minor concern for me.

Small gripes aside, this is about as good an Iron Man figure as I had hoped for, and is a welcome addition to my 12" figure collection. It also withstood my 2-year-old's "intensive product testing", so I'll probably end up buying another for his upcoming birthday.

First of all a great value for this Iron Man. I just loved the sounds every time you move it. I just wish it could have a little more points of articulation. You can really have fun playing with this Iron Man. Nice!

It's rare you find such a well made toy where you could tell the designers were genuinely interested in creating a smart and fun toy. The sensors in the boots that make lift-off/land jet sounds, and what appear to be motion sensors in his chest make fun 'evasive maneuver' sound effects when you roll and twist him in the air.

The only down side I can find is the almost mediocre voice acting, and, yes, it would've been great to have more points of articulation. An almost perfect toy.

Although this is a toy meant for kids 4+ years old, the detail on this Iron Man toy is pretty awesome it can also serve as an action figure collection for adults. I am an adult and an avid fan of everything Iron Man. The reviews here prompted me to buy this toy to add to my action figure collection. Although made of plastic, the way it was painted makes it look like it is die-cast metal, proof to how much attention was made to make the detail of this toy stand out. It is tall, around 12 inches high, yet it is not cumbersome to place along your other action figure collections. In fact, this toy enhances your collection's appearance. The point of articulation is somewhat limited and the fact that it "talks" gives it away as a toy. But it doesn't bother me at all. The points of articulation is pretty much limited but for all intents and purposes, this will just serve as part of my action figure collection, and it will pretty much pose in the same position as I would leave it. It is battery powered (AAA) for the "talking" and the "lighting repulsor" feature. I advise you though to take the battery out if it will just serve as a part of your collection. Leaving the battery inside and forgetting about it will cause the battery to leak and will corrode the finish of this toy. Highly recommended for all Iron Man fans out there!

My daughter got this for Christmas 2008. She was 5 then. She carried it around all day. (Poor Cinderella doll had to stay home, While Ironman went to Grandmas with us). The "friendship" has never ended. Batteries have been changed twice, and Ironman still lights up, still talks, still moves, would probably still fire his missles if they hadn't been lost months ago. Now I'm buying one for my nephew who is now 4 and tries to take her Ironman home everytime he visits.

The box was in terrible shape; smashed in several places but due to the good construction of the inside box that contained the toy it was not damaged at all. The little guy who received it is ecstatic and it takes a lot of abuse and is still in great shape. Good job!

It is rather large and the kids LOVE it. Has many sounds and though it's not educational whatever it's iron man it's great!

i bought this for my 6 year old, who will not put it down.
it is a awesome toy, while it stands up the thrusters shut off
lift up and everything starts up, i would buy it again if needed.
