Main Product Advantages
9 Appeal to Kids
Children, especially those who love Iron Man and superheroes, highly enjoy the toy. Parents report their children taking it everywhere and playing with it for extended periods.
8 Durability
The toy is sturdy and can withstand rough play from toddlers and young children. It is made of strong plastic, though not as durable as the Titan Hero sets, and can take a 3-year-old's abuse without much damage.
8 Price
At around $15, the toy is considered a good buy for the size and durability, being one of the few almost 12-inch action figures available at a reasonable price.
7 Size
At 12 inches, the toy is larger than most action figures, making it more engaging for children and suitable for larger scale play. Some reviews mention it being larger than expected.
6 Poseability
The figure has 3 articulation points at the shoulder and elbow joints as well as the waist, which allows for some movement but lacks bending articulation, which limits its playability slightly.
6 Design and Detail
The toy has decent detail work in the mold but lacks the hard plastic strength for real smashing and fighting between action figures. Its hollow inside design is noted by some.
5 Compatibility
The Hulkbuster's head opens to reveal a space for a small figurine, and some children's existing toys (like Little People) can fit inside. The shield accessory can also be used by other figures, adding to its play value.
4 Included Accessories
The toy does not include a smaller Iron Man figure, which is a common expectation and disappointment among customers. The shield accessory also does not stay on very well.
