Review: LEGO BrickHeadz Marvel 40669 Iron Man MK5

For once, we are quickly talking today about a LEGO figurine in BrickHeadz format, that of the LEGO Marvel set 40669 Iron Man MK5 with its 101 pieces, its availability announced for July 1, 2024 and its public price set at €9,99.

This is already the 244th figurine of its kind and the recipe seems to work quite well for LEGO because the manufacturer continues to build this collection with the same ardor over the years.

This is also the third appearance of Iron Man in this range after the reference 41590 Iron Man launched in 2017 followed by the reference 41604 Iron Man MK50 marketed in 2018. I will spare you the version seen in the pack bringing together Iron Man and Captain America in 2016, this is the set 41492 Ironman & Captain America then exclusive to the San Diego Comic Con which took place that same year.

This involves assembling Iron Man's Mark V armor as it appeared on screen in Iron Man 2 once taken out of his suitcase during the duel between Tony Stark and Whiplash on the Monaco circuit . We'll say that that's pretty much it, the format seriously limiting the possibilities for certain characters and it's sometimes only thanks to a few significant attributes that we really recognize the subject addressed.

This is the case here and it is especially the pad-printed piece placed on the torso of the figurine which is responsible for allowing us to identify the version of the armor indicated on the box. For the rest, in my opinion it is too symbolic to be really convincing. In passing, we face the usual technical defects with, for example, the eyes of the figurines flanked by a layer of white that is not completely uniform.

LEGO could have provided us with a suitcase to clip into one of the character's hands in place of the included thrusters, this detail would undoubtedly have allowed us to assert a little more the version of the armor proposed here. I know that there are unconditional fans of this LEGO range, they will undoubtedly find what they are looking for, especially if they strive to accumulate all the Marvel-licensed figurines or more simply all the figurines in this format.

No sticker in this box, the few patterned pieces provided are therefore all pad printed. We will still welcome LEGO's maintenance of the public price of these boxes over the years, it is still €9,99, and the consistency in the design of these characters with always the classic pink brick which embodies the human brain which pass through the BrickHeadz mill.
