Iron Man 2020

A distant cousin of Tony Stark, Arno Stark became the inheritor of the Stark Industries legacy in alternate future of the cyberpunk year of 2020, where he took up the mantle of his predecessor's armor and became Iron Man 2020. While Tony had used his armor for heroics, Arno preferred to use it to profit off of mercenary work or for corporate espionage to strengthen his business gains. When a group of young tech scavengers uncovered the remains of Machine Man and reactivated him, Arno was hired to destroy the revived hero - but was ultimately unable to do so.

Over the years, Arno would continue to appear through time travel and multiverse crossovers, challenging characters from across the Marvel Universe, including fights with Death's Head and Spider-Man. He would later join Kang the Conqueror, who saved him from a timeline collapse, and joined a team to battle the Avengers.

While it was long believed that Arno existed only in these alternate timelines, Tony recently discovered the existence of an Arno within the mainline Marvel Universe as well; the secret biological child of Howard and Maria Stark, contained permanently in a sealed room and iron lung to survive his health issues. This mainline Arno, believing that he was the only one who could save the world, stole his brother's company and armor, until Tony was able to trap him in a virtual reality world where he would be allowed to live as the hero he believed himself to be free of his medical ailments.

Iron Man 2020 (2020)
Iron Man 2020's debut figure in the Marvel Legends toyline was fittingly timed to release during the calendar year 2020 as an exclusive to Walgreens pharmacy stores. Arno is a retool of the 80th Anniversary Iron Man mold, featuring a new head sculpt, a new chest harness as a raised element connected to his large shoulder pieces, and a new belt all designed to closely replicate the original design from the art of Herb Trimpe from the original Machine Man miniseries that the character debuted in.

The figure comes with noticeably more accessories than the average Marvel Legends figure. He includes two sets of hands; a pair of closed fists, and a pair of pre-posed Repulsor firing hands. While these firing hands feature reduced articulation, they feature a peghole for the included repulsor blast effect pieces, all reused from the same 80th Anniversary Iron Man mold. Newly added with this figure, Arno also includes two larger blast pieces designed to peg into the bottom of his boots, and then further plug in to two large firey effect parts that can be combined into a base and is designed to replicate the appearance of flight.

Series 2 #033 - Iron Man 2020 (2010)
Released as part of the second series of Hasbro's Marvel Universe 3 3/4" scale action figures, Iron Man 2020 is the 33rd figure in the numbering. It was released in Wave 11, as part of the final wave of the "HAMMER Files" theming of the second series, and the final wave of 2010. The figure is an extensive retool of the classic Iron Man armor that originally debuted as the 21st figure from the first series of figures. The new pieces include a new head sculpt, a new chest piece featuring the geared shoulder pads of the original 2020 design, and a new belt piece.

The figure includes two accessories; a large funnel-shaped blast effect piece, a repainted version of the same effect piece included with nearly every Iron Man figure in the Marvel Universe line since the original release of the first Iron Man figure in the first series. Like every other release, the piece is designed to attach to the figure's wrist via the C-Clip shape, creating the appearance of firing a large repulsor blast. Based on the classic armor mold, Arno can also clip the pieces to his ankles instead, and can create the illusion of a flying effect by using two of the pieces. The other accessory is a simple black base featuring Arno's name and number.

Series 64 - Iron Man 2020 and Raging Ultron (2016)
Arno received his debut in the roughly 2" scaled line of Marvel Minimates miniature figures in 2016, and the 64th series of the Marvel Minimates line of themed two-packs altogether, based on the Secret Wars crossover event, with each of the individual two-packs based on a pair of alternate universe variations and modern iterations of classic characters. While Iron Man 2020's packaged partner is dubbed "Raging Ultron" on the box, it actually depicts the fusion of Ultron and Hank Pym who debuted in the Rage of Ultron storyline.

Arno is based on the same basic figure mold that all other Minimates have been, creating a stylized uniformity across the line, where costume details are generally expressed through paint instead of individual molded parts. Despite this general design ethos, Arno does feature unique sculpted pieces to represent his geared shoulder pads and unique raised chest piece, as well as his unique belt design. The helmet can be removed, revealing an unmasked head based on Tony Stark instead of Arno underneath.

The set includes minimal accessories compared to the average Minimates two-pack release; only including a black hair piece designed to peg into the top of Arno's unhelmted head to replicate Tony Stark's normal appearance. The set also includes a single swooping flight stand which can be used to peg into Arno's feet and create the appearance of flight. Like all Minimates, the figures also included two 34mm clear plastic bases they can peg into for stability.

The set was reissued in the 21st wave of Toys'R'Us exclusive two packs, which launched alongside this wave and featured the same branding. The Toys'R'Us release was identical to the main release, as the only difference between the original Secret Wars case and the exclusive was the addition of an Iron Spider & Spider-Gwen two pack to replace the Dazzler & Howard the Duck and Captain Marvel & Thor sets from the main release.
