Marvel Legends Deluxe Detroit Steel Figure From Hasbro

No interest in buying this, but it really made me smile, that they even considered doing such a character, especially one so obscure and so complex. Love seeing this kind of insight. Bravo!! Now let's see M-11.

I love the impractical chainsaw weapon on a giant mech armor. Like lasers or light Sabres or something wouldn't work waaay better. No clue who this character is but with that little chainsaw detail I would hazard a guess that his creator is an Evil Dead fan

OK, full disclosure: Detroit is an hour away from me and I'm probably getting this guy solely based on his name. Be even better if he sported a Red Wings symbol but I know Marvel ain't paying for that.

Obscure characters are fun (unless you're named Orb and you take a spot in an Avengers wave away from an actual Avengers related character) and this guy passes the ocular pat down with full marks

Yes, I've wanted Detroit Steel for a long time, I figured that it has been long enough since the comic appearance that it was no longer relevant and would never happen, but I'm stoked that it's happening! This gives me hope that they might still circle back to something like Red King from Planet Hulk yet!

Still an instant buy for me. Sure he only appeared in a few issue before being killed but you give me an obscure character with a great design I'm all over it. They can also later repaint this and make the Sasha Hammer version.

Yup instant buy for me, this is one heck of a nice figure, the re-use of the MCU Iron Monger is totally cool with me, since this looks so good and it works well, and you couldn't expect them to have brand new tools for an obscure fig like this, it's lucky we got this guy at all and that is probably solely because they had the parts to put this one together, so sometimes it's a win they re-use tool pieces, like in the case of Ch'od, this was One of my favorite showings from SDCC, it's gonna look super rad on a shelf.
