Many people have questions about the official Iron Man minifigure (right in the photo). About his helmet obviously with those who appreciate this interpretation and those who find it oversized, but also about the source of energy which is on his chest and which sports an unusual triangular shape. Everyone can imagine themselves as Iron Man with the more classic round ARC Reactor, like that of the minifig prototype presented at Comic Con in San Diego in July 2011 (on the left in the photo).
During his long career between comics, cartoons and films Iron Man wore many armor, in very varied colors and dressings and powered in turn by electric batteries, solar cells and a radioactive source, Palladium.
Iron Man does indeed appear in the film Iron Man 2 wearing this Mark VI armor with the distinctive triangle on the chest. He also wears this armor in The Avengers. The image above is taken from the film's trailer. This confirms, as LEGO had indicated, that sets 6867 Loki's Cosmic Cube Escape , 6868 Hulk's Helicarrier Breakout , and 6869 Quinjet Aerial Battle from the Marvel range will be directly based on the characters and events of the film.
This undoubtedly explains the absence of preliminary visuals of these sets, the content of which contains important scriptwriting information on certain scenes of the film. We can imagine that LEGO will keep these sets confidential as long as possible to reveal them to the public only when the film is released. In any case, they were not present in the reseller catalogs until now.
