I feel the same. The iron man figures are what have allowed for a massive increase in the other characters. The success of iron man has grown the company significantly. And if you don't want it then don't buy it. Why people think it's ok the begrudge what someone else enjoys is beyond me. It's petty and silly. Look at all the Star Wars and civil war and BvS figures. I mean we have seen 14 figures from civil war, a film that has not even been released, and two are iron man. Lol
So true, lol, just Mk. 46 and WM Mk. III. And the only reason I ranted about the 16897532 variations of Stormtroopers was to make a point, I actually am army building and am happy that they all exist. Shoot, I own every single SS clone except 1 (the crazy expensive black version).
And you're also correct that so many people forget that the main reason HT's is able to make so many figures from so many licenses has a ton to do with their success with the IM figures. If you take a look at this picture, which SB showed as upcoming releases, there are 6 figures that were (Mk. 45 supposed to release on Saturday) released in ONE month. Back a couple years ago, we'd be lucky to get 1 figure release a month.
Sorry but I just don't get all the hate for IM. It's not just because I'm a fan but look at what the character, film(s), RDJ and figures have done for the industry as a whole!
