Marvel Comics artist reacts to new LEGO Iron Man minifigure 

The artist behind the Model 64 Iron Man suit has reacted to the exclusive minifigure in the first LEGO Marvel Visual Dictionary. 

It was recently revealed that the exclusive minifigure in the first LEGO Marvel Visual Dictionary is an Iron Man minifigure that seems to be heavily based on the Model 64 armour from the Tony Stark: Iron Man comic series. 

Following the confirmation, comic book artist Valerio Schiti – who designed the suit – has discovered the minifigure, sharing their positive reaction on Twitter. They appear to be impressed with the homage. 

Ok, I think that this is the peak of my career: a #legoironman minifigure inspired by my design!
Thank you @LEGO_Group!

Calling it the peak of their career, Schiti has also shared a look at the concept drawings behind the comic book suit for a full comparison with the minifigure. 

The minifigure’s details match up to the comic book armour from the pentagonal arc reactor to the shape of the golden inlay but shortened to the proportions of a minifigure. Unfortunately, there’s no arm printing to capture the details on the arms 

The exclusive Iron Man minifigure is included in the LEGO Marvel Visual Dictionary, which is launching on September 19, 2023, for $24.99.
