One of the greatest joys of collecting is when you've been eyeing a product for months, with no intent on actually buying it, but then the stars align and it finds its way into your hands anyway. I always have lots of reasons to refrain from a collectible purchase, but mostly it comes down to space/scale, not wanting to "start a whole new collection," and the trusty standby: price. But then there are these rare occasions when you stumble across a a deal you can't pass up and you cave. I recently picked up this Ironheart 11.5" PVC statue at GameStop for $11 and I'm thrilled with the purchase. I've eyeballed a lot of the Marvel Gallery statues in the past (Lady Deadpool in particular), but all it took was a crazy sale to get me to break my resolve. It doesn't hurt that this is the first piece of merchandise of Riri Williams as Ironheart either. I read the first bunch of Invincible Ironman issues and loved her. Hopefully this is just the start of many Ironheart products (I just bought her Minimate today!). Let's check her out below!
These statues have a unique scale. Riri would stand about 9" tall if standing at attention. The overall height of the statue is 11.5"
There was also an unmasked variant released as a 2017 SDCC Exclusive.
Sorry she's too big for any good comparison pics. But when the eventual Marvel Legends figure comes out (fingers crossed!) I'll take lots of group shots I promise!
Cheers!
the propulsor effects are beautiful!
