Back in October I came across a press release about a new Disney Jr Marvel series titled Iron Man and His Awesome Friends. Based on the marketing of the similar Spidey and His Amazing Friends, I was instantly excited about the potential for this exact toy I now hold. Ironheart has been an obsession of mine for quite a few years now. I was a little late to the party, picking up my first issue around 2018 (a couple years after her debut). But I was instantly hooked and quickly read all her previous stories. Then the world took notice and she appeared on the big screen in Wakanda Forever (2022) which leads to her upcoming solo series on Disney+. Having her appear in the Disney Jr Spidey universe is a no-brainer. She has already starred in several Marvel Rising storylines, but these preschool-aimed cartoons have a proven track record and a huge audience. As of this post, the release date of this new series is still a vague "Summer 2025", but I'll keep checking for updates. Let's check out Ironheart below!
This version of Ironheart comes with a winged jet-pack accessory that anchors in her back with a post.
Her legs are articulated as a one-piece hinge. So no walking poses, only sitting.
There are very few images of the show online yet, but this character collage below has me excited for the rogues roster.
Ultron, Absorbing Man, but especially Swarm (voiced by Vanessa Bayer).
Time for some Group and Comparison Pics!
Here are all the pack-mates from the Armored-Up Avengers set: Gamma the dog, Ultron, Iron Man, Ironheart,
Iron Hulk (Amadeus Cho), and Captain America (Sam Wilson).
And here they are with their "Armored-Up" accessories.
I love this toy. But I admit I was bummed to realize these figures were being made in a noticeably smaller scale than the Spidey toys. These could (and should) exist in the same play universe.
Here is Ironheart with Ms. Marvel and Black Cat from the Spidey and His Amazing Friends line.
Cheers!
