LEGO Super Heroes: Does Iron Man have a big head?

It's a small disappointment, but we suspect that the minifigs presented at Comic Con are preliminary versions or even prototypes: Iron Man has a big head.

Tony Stark's minifigure in his high-tech armor has a problem with proportions, that's undeniable. But you will have to make a choice: Have a minifigure with a head and a helmet whose visor opens, or a minifigure with a classic screen-printed head but without the possibility of discovering the face of Robert Downey Jr.

In the photo opposite, we can clearly see the LEGO bias: To offer a minifigure with a face rather resembling that of the actor (or Jack Sparrow, if you want to be a bad tongue ...).

Personally, I would prefer an Iron Man with classic well screen printed head and a spare head with Tony Starck's face.
There is no doubt that things will evolve further in terms of design between now and the actual release of the Super Heroes range, and we can hope that LEGO will take into account the reactions generated by this presentation at the Comic Con in San Diego.

For comparison, I put below an image from the film in which we see Tony Starck with his helmet open, a custom minfiig quite close to the one offered by LEGO, and an example of a custom minifig made by miniBIGS which demonstrates that it is possible to have a resembling Iron Man without oversizing the character's proportions.
