Marvel Universe Iron Man action figure.

When you see all the 3.75-inch Iron Man 2 action figures in the departmental stores, you might be dazzled by how all the red and gold variants of Iron Man closely resemble one another. 

You might be further confused if you can’t read roman numerals, so here are some tips to help you sail through in identifying the Iron Man 2 movie 3.75-inch action figures:

How to read roman numerals -

I - 1

II - 2

III - 3

IV - 4 (a ‘I’ before V is 4)

V - 5 (remember that V is 5)

VI - 6 (a ‘I’ after V is 6 and so on)

VII - 7

VIII - 8

IX - 9 (a “I” before X is 9)

X - 10 (remember that X is 10)

XI - 11 and so on (I’ll blog about the rest of the roman numerals if Hasbro gets that far in its Iron Man 2 toyline.)

If you intend to buy just the movie poster version of the 3.75-inch Iron Man action figures, just note that a round circle on his chest refers to his Movie 1 version, while an inverted triangle on the chest means he’s from Movie 2.  You can then choose which variant you would like to buy from these 2 main distinctions.  The back of their packaging also tells you a brief summary of each armor version or “Mark”.

Do beware that there are reported cases of mislabeled Iron Man 2 movie 3.75-inch action figures.  So you still need to check every figure carefully to ensure you don’t accidentally buy duplicates or the ones which you didn’t intend to buy!

Hope the above helps you in your selection of which Iron Man 2 movie toys to buy.  Of course for the collectors who intend to buy all of them, it doesn’t matter!  Happy Iron Man 2 movie toys shopping!

      Hi LEon,

      No worries, take your time. They will be everywhere even after the movie stops screening. I’m sure there will be a clearance sale about 6 months later for the figures :P
