HASBRO 2023 Marvel Comics Avengers IRON MAN Action Figure Model 01 From Marvel Legends Series.
We take a good look at the ALL NEW HASBRO 2023 Marvel Comics Avengers IRON MAN Action Figure Model 01 From Marvel Legends Series. This is the original proto-type suit built by Tony Stark in his first appearance as Iron Man in issue 39 of Tales of Suspense published in March of 1963 featuring an Iron Man cover by Jack “The King” Kirby and interior art by Don Heck. Examined in this video – the packaging – box art, accessories, and the 6″ action figure itself.
BUY the new Hasbro Iron Man Model 01 action figure ON SALE.
I’m a sucker for old school silver age Marvel comic book superheroes. I love all the original designs for the Fantastic Four, Spider-Man, The Hulk, and of course, Iron-man. The original characters drawn by Jack Kirby and Steve Ditko, the latter who co-created Spider-man with Stan Lee, had a unique proto-type, crude look about them that I find visually satisfying to this day. These characters have gone through so many changes over the years with mixed results depending on the artist but those original creations remain popular with many comic book fans.
I have a grand total of 8 action figures, so it take a lot to get me to fork over money to buy one, but once I saw this new Iron Man model 01 figure from Hasbro, the money flew from my wallet!
I have made a video so you can see the Iron Man action figure in action! First, let’s take a look at the box and packaging. The box art and layout is very attractive, featuring the action figure on the front and left side while on the right side a close up of the cool Kirby artwork from the March, 1963 issue #39 of Tales of Suspense. The back of the box shows another nice shot of the action figure along with the accessories which include clenched fists, jet flames, and jet smoke. (pics of box and accessories)
Now for the main event, the Iron Man action figure – Here he is out of the box with open hands. Comparing this to the original Kirby and Don Heck art, it is very slightly streamlined but I think it’s a very close approximation of the original prototype model 01 from the comic book. The figure itself has a nice solid weight to it and seems to be of good construction.
It appears that there are 14 points of articulation on this figure beginning with the boots that move from side to side, the knee joints, thigh joints, hands, elbows, shoulders that swivel off the ball joint, the head and the torso.
We all know that with the fantastic first Iron Man movie starring Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark, that when Stark is making the prototype in a cave in Afghanistan, we see more detail on the construction than was previously drawn by Kirby and Heck. That being said, this action figure is based upon the original Tales of Suspense art, and in that respect, I think Hasbro has succeeded.
I also recommend reading the original Tales of Suspense #39 if you have already done so. It is interesting to compare and contrast the original Stan Lee story with the film adaptation released in 2008. In the original comic book per the Grand comic book database, “Playboy industrialist and weapons designer Tony Stark is injured in Vietnam and captured by communists. While pretending to build a weapon for his captors he builds a suit of battle armor to keep his injured heart beating and uses it to escape and beat the communist commander.”
In the 2008 film, they updated the geo-political situation to take place in war-torn afghanistan where tony builds the prototype in a cave. While making his captors think he’s building a super destructive weapon, he secretly creates a unique weaponized suit of armor to fight evil.
So you can see that the same basic premise was maintained from comic book to movie adaptation making the first Iron Man film one of the best Marvel movies ever made.

Laserblast Alien Action Figure
A few weeks ago I became aware of the LASERBLAST alien action figure a few weeks ago and I immediately bought one. It’s rare that anyone sells action figures based upon stop-motion puppets from classic sci-fi and horror films and the fact that David Allen built and animated the original alien creatures for the Laserblast film made this purchase a no-brainer.
I received the figure in the mail a week later and I LOVE IT. Granted, it’s approximately three inches tall but the detail is great and it actually looks like the alien from the film unlike many action figures you see where the sculpt bears little resemblance to the film character it’s supposed to portray.
I immediately made a video about it called “Full Moon Entertainment Laserblast Stop Motion Animation By David Allen Plus Alien Action Figure” on my YT channel.
As I gathered more info about David Allen films, Charles Band’s Full Moon empire, I realized the deep connection between Full Moon and David Allen I’d been missing for so many years…
David Allen and his company created and did the special visual effects for many of the Puppet Master films produced by Charles Band for Full Moon Features and those very “puppets” are available for sale as action figures in the Full Moon merch shop. I watched these films when they came out back in the day but I never paid much attention to the effects artists who did them. The late 80’s – early 90’s were a tumultuous time in my life and details were something I rarely paid attention to. I never thought about the David Allen – Puppet Master connection until recently.
I always loved the Puppet Master films, especially the first and third (Toulon’s Revenge) and some of the later movies. The actual stop-motion in the films is minimal, perhaps 20 to 30 seconds per movie, but that animation is fantastic. It is what great stop-motion should look like, and David Allen was one of the masters of the art.
Consider a few of the top stop-motion animators – Willis O’Brien, Ray Harryhausen, Phil Tippett, Jim Danforth, and David Allen. How many mass produced, reasonably priced figures have been made from their creations? I haven’t seen a lot. There are high-end puppet replicas (Full Moon has some amazing “life size” replicas, more on that later) but I’m referring to 10 to 30 dollar action figures everyone can afford. The pickings are slim, folks, so God bless Charles Band and the Full Moon crew for selling these figures that are affordable and do the original David Allen creations justice.
Pinhead and Tunneler Puppet Master Action Figures
In the Puppet Master series, people have their favorite characters. For me, I always loved Pinhead and Tunneler. Pinhead must be one of the most ingenious fantasy film puppet creations ever devised. Using human arms and hands fit behind the puppet for live action worked beautifully, and of course, the animated shots are fantastic. The Tunneler is a more straight-forward design like the other puppets and his spinning drill head always made me smile when he burrowed into the leg of an unsuspecting victim.
So how great is it that I discovered they have a combo set of Pinhead and Tunneler for sale on the Full Moon store?! This is a seven inch high fold out box that displays the 4.5 inch characters on either side. They look fantastic and I cannot wait to get these figures and do a video about them.
They also have a combo box of Blade and Torch and a newer issue of a few of the characters including The Jester, Blade, and Torch.
And then there’s Six Shooter, another one of my favorites!
As they say in the description: “Each ‘original series’ replica is handmade, every stitch of fabric is tailored and scaled to be a recreation of the rod puppets used in the iconic film series, PUPPET MASTER. Each replica comes with a hand-signed Certificate of Authenticity and a metal display stand.”
“Made of wire frame and foam construction with artist-sculpted resin head, hands & boots. Clothing is cut from real cloth with tailored accessories. Six Shooter features detachable guns.”
So these are the real McCoy, friends, the “life size” Full Moon replicas of the beloved Puppet Master characters. I’ll be doing a separate video about these amazing puppets in the future but for the time being, check out my new video on the Laserblast action figure and look for an upcoming video on the Pinhead – Tunneler combo action figures on my “Horror Mike” YT Channel.
