Wave 17 Iron Fist Review

This is my second Iron Fist figure, and honestly it probably wasn't worth it.

As you can see, there is very little difference between the Greatest Battles two pack Iron Fist and this one.  Obviously, there is no collar on the white one.  The rest of the sculp seems to be the same.

Not having the single carded Iron Fist, I am glad to have the "fire" accessory.  It is a decent accessory, but is the exact same thing Human Torch and Psylocke comes with.  As with all 2012 figures, no stand is included but instead we get a "comic shot".  This is simply a piece of card stock with a famous image from a comic book featuring the character.

Now, the real reason I got this figure is for The Defenders.  I just recently got back into reading comics, and I an thoroughly enjoying The Defenders so far.  Now if only we had a Red She-Hulk, put with She-Hulk on the way, it can't be long.  Hasbro certainly likes their repaints!

Overall, pretty much just the same figure as the Greatest Battles Iron Fist, and I assume that is pretty much the same as the single carded.

Articulation: Everything one would expect from Iron Fist.
Paint: The paint is exceptional.  The gold is very shiny compared to the more dull white.  It works well.
Accessories: He comes with his "fire" punch attachment and a comic shot.  The comic shot is worthless.

In conclusion, Modern Iron Fist is a cool figure, but it certainly isn't anything we haven't seen before.  The modern costume is nice if you keep up with the comics, but it certainly isn't necessary if you already have an Iron Fist.
