Iron Man’s nemesis gets a most needed Marvel Legend action figure!
Created by Allyn Brodsky, Don Heck, and Stan Lee and appearing in Iron Man #33 (January 1971), Spymaster was an industrial spy that went up against Iron Man serval times. He would be a reoccurring Iron Man villain until his demise. But with comic’s revolving door of death, the Spymaster would return. I was first introduced to him in Iron Man #117 and thought he was one of the coolest villains.
I really like the look of this figure. It’s a little more slimmed down than how he appears in comics, but the basics are there that it represents the character. It looks like artist’s Mark Bright’s re-design. I love the yellow on the blue. Really pops on this figure.
For an accessory, Spymaster comes up with a blaster. Now, this is why I love the design team over at Hasbro. The blaster is red! In Iron Man #210, for some reason colorist Adam Philips made Spymaster’s weapons red. I don’t know why, but it stuck, and honestly it worked. That is hardcore nerd knowledge right there. As a comic geek, I appreciate it!
For the Build-A-Figure piece, Winter Soldier comes with the Crimson Dynamo’s right leg.
Bottom line, I’m so glad to get one of my favorite C-list characters as an action figure, plus it’s nice to get some more Iron Man villains.
