I’ve had the Mezco Stealth Iron Man since it dropped a couple of months ago. I wasn’t intending on doing a full review. However, the thing is so nice in hand that I had to at least take pictures.

The Mezco Stealth Iron Man is a fun figure for your Iron Man display, made with exceptional quality and attention to detail. However, he is not a figure you need to have on your shelf. If you WANT him, I can’t say you’re wrong.
