Items 1 to 60 of 94 Items 1 to 60 of 94While my love for LEGO sets has dwindled of late, my love for the minifigure has grown. I have every one of the collectable minifigure series (yes, that includes Mr Gold!) and I have found myself enjoying collecting minifigures over sets. I’m a massive Marvel fan so this year my focus is on collecting Marvel minifigures. I have the full Guardians of the Galaxy line-up but as a completist I will need to get all variations of every minifigure. Now for some minifigures that’s easy, but for other more popular minifigures we have a host of variations. None more so than Iron Man who we’ve seen in various incarnations since his first appearance back in 2012. Below is a list of the versions I’m aware of; how many sets that minifigure has appeared in, and what the approx after-market value is based on Bricklink pricing. Iron Man (Toy Fair 2012 Exclusive): This version is the only one to have a printed head instead of an actual helmet.
This was a Toy Fair exclusive appearing only once with only 125 were. Current aftermarket value is £650. Yes really that much!!! Iron Man with Triangle on Chest: Released in 2012 and appeared in 6867: Loki’s Cosmic Cube Escape and 30167: Iron Man vs. Fighting Drone. A new one will cost you about £7.99 new from Bricklink. Iron Man with Circle on Chest: This minifigure also appeared in April 2012 in 6869: Quinjet Aerial Battle. Average price of a new one on Bricklink is £11.23 Iron Man Mark 42 Armour: The first of the 2013 minifigures, again this one was a one set wonder, only appearing in 76006: Iron Man: Extremis Sea Port Battle. Expect to pay around £5.61. Iron Man Mark 42 Armour (Plain White Head): The same as the above minifigure but as it appears in Tony’s collection it comes with a white head. Again this only appeared in one set in 2013 76007: Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack. Prices average around £4.82 Iron Man with Heart Breaker Armour: Another 2013 variation and appears in 76008: Iron Man vs. The Mandarin: Ultimate Showdown.
One of my personal faves, this one will cost you around £10. Iron Man Mark 43: A 2015 Iron Man variation appearing in 76031: The Hulk Buster Smash, 76032: The Avengers Quinjet City Chase and 76038: Attack on Avengers Tower as part of the Ultron sets. It is the only Iron Man to date to appear in 3 sets. Cost is very low due to his frequent appearances, so expect to pay around £3.50 Iron Man Mark 45: Another 2015 minifigure but makes only one appearance in 76029: Iron Man vs. Ultron. The MK.45 will cost around £4 for him. Scuba Iron Man: The first of the 2016 minifigures and the first not to come in the classic dark red/gold colour scheme. Instead he comes in a sand green variation. He appears in 76048: Iron Skull Sub Attack. The price for him is around £9. Space Iron Man: The second new colour variation, this time in white as he is the space variation. Again, he is new for 2016 and appears in just one set, 76049: Avenjet Space Mission. Average price around £9 again.
Iron Man with Circle on Chest: This is the Junior version, but like the 2012 version and I for one think they look identical. He appears in 10721: Iron Man vs. Loki. Cost for this version is £4.50 so technically half price of the 2012 version. Silver Centurion: Appears 5002946: Silver Centurion polybag and another 2016 version. Cost of this minifigure is £28.00 due to the rarity of the polybag but expect the price to drop over the year. Iron Man Mark 46: A new one based on the upcoming Civil War movie. He only appears in the largest set 76051: Super Hero Airport Battle. Price for this one currently averages £9.87 I’ve not included links as there are plenty of 3rd party vendors who will sell the majority of minifigures above. This is more of a simple guide to make sure you get them all. As well as those mentioned above, there are two other minifigures and one brick-built version that can be part of your Iron Man collection. Iron Man Statuette: This micro figure appears in 76042: S.H.I.E.L.D. Helicarrier but can be picked up for around £7.
Tony Stark: Obviously Tony is Iron Man so you need him out of his suit. Tony appears in 76007: Iron Man: Malibu Mansion Attack from 2013 and will cost around £7.50 on the second-hand market. Hulkbuster armour: Ok it’s not technically a minifigure, but is an essential suit from Iron Man’s hall of armour so still worth getting. Resellers do sell the armour on it’s own for £16. He is from 76031: The Hulk Buster Smash. I’ve not included War Machine/Iron Patriot as they are separate in my view. Have I missed any? Photos of all these can be found on sites like Brickset and Bricklink. Does any Brick Fanatics reader own all those listed above? Let us know below 🙂 For the video games, see Lego Batman 2: DC Super Heroes and Lego Marvel Super Heroes. Lego Super Heroes is a theme and product range of the Lego construction toy, introduced in 2011. The line features both DC Comics and Marvel Comics characters.

The Marvel Comics part of the line was launched on April 10, 2012,[1] to be featured alongside the 2012 film The Avengers. The first wave of sets released included nine sets from the DC Universe line. The largest of the sets was "Arkham Asylum Breakout" which included 1619 pieces and eight minifigures. In addition to the first release, two polybag sets have been released under the DC Universe line, "Batman jetski" and "Batmobile" as promotions. Lego have also announced nine sets are to be released later in 2012 under the Marvel Universe line.

All of the 2012 and 2013 sets have now been retired by LEGO. 2014 saw two waves of sets available. These were three Ultimate Spider-Man sets and two Avengers Assemble sets released in March, followed by three Guardians of the Galaxy sets and one X-Men set in June.
