About this figure
Identifying the sculpt is straightforward once you know what to look for: standing, right fist raised, left arm at side, helmet with headphones/ear pieces, armored suit with chest controls and round dial, kneepads, boots. Like every genuine figure in the line, originals carry the “Y/S·N·T” foot stamp — a soft or missing stamp is the quickest way to spot a reproduction.
Iron Commando is documented in 5 of the ten production colors (Flesh, Orange, Dark Blue, Light Blue, Magenta). The flesh version books around $28 in mint condition, while the magenta run is the toughest to find and trades closer to $49. As a Class A rare it anchors many want lists — mint examples move quickly when they surface.
