Background[]
The Mark LXXXV Armor was Tony Stark's eighty-fifth and final Iron Man suit. An upgrade to the Mark L armor, it was used by Stark during the Time Heist and the Battle of Earth. As the previous armor was destroyed by Thanos, Tony Stark made this new version utilizing nanotechnology with enhanced durability as well as new features. It was created, along with thirty-four other suits, during the five years after the Snap. Before joining in the Time Heist, he recorded a message for Pepper Potts and Morgan Stark in case he did not return. After the Time Heist, the Avengers managed to obtain the Infinity Stones and the Gauntlet. The past version of Thanos managed to obtain the Gauntlet in an attack on them, however, Stark charged at Thanos one more time. In a last-ditch effort, he was able to assimilate the Infinity Stones into his own armor, using the nanotech to activate the Stones. Stark then snapped his fingers, releasing a power surge that turned Thanos and his army to dust. Unfortunately, he was overwhelmed by the power of the Stones, leaving him dying as a result. During Stark's funeral, his family and friends managed to acquire the helmet of the armor and played the message he had left for them.
Description[]
The set includes 3167 pieces, which are used to make a frame and photo of Iron Man. The frame is built from multiple Black bricks as a base with holes in the bottom, connected via Black TECHNIC connectors to the other bases, of which there are nine, each containing one portion of Iron Man's face. A massive amount of studs are used to build Monroe's iconic face, with fifteen colors each corresponding to a number. Black corresponds to 1, Dark Stone Gray corresponds to 2, Medium Stone Gray corresponds to 3, Sand Blue corresponds to 4, Earth Blue corresponds to 5, White corresponds to 6, Warm Gold corresponds to 7, Brick Yellow corresponds to 8, Sand Yellow corresponds to 9, Brick Yellow corresponds to 10, Dark Orange corresponds to 11, Bright Red corresponds to 12, New Dark Red corresponds to 13, Reddish Brown corresponds to 14, and Dark Brown corresponds to 15. While the set is designed to be built with certain colors in mind, the correspondence of the colors can be switched around to form the faces of different armors, as seen below. The set can be framed and attached to a wall, and the instruction booklet is a useful coffee table book that includes a brief background of Iron Man and descriptions of the three suits. A 2 x 4 Black tile with Marvel and Iron Man's logo is included, and a QR code is included in the booklet that connects to an hour and a half long interview with both set designers and comic book writers that one can listen to when working.
