The figure was a serious attempt to capture the characters likeness and added creative details such as &#8220;fist&#8221; gloves and a sewn on chest piece. There is some question as to why the character has a nose, but many comic fans will point out for a brief point in the seventies, Iron Man did have a nose in the comics.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">The figure itself came briefly on a Type-1 body, although it is much easier to find on a Type-2. Due to the number of extras, a loose, mint complete Iron Man is not commonly found.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Iron Man had a shorter than average run with the WGSH, getting in on the action in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/catalog\/1975\/wgsh002.shtml\">the 1975 WGSH assortment<\/a> he was summarily dropped after <a href=\"http:\/\/www.megomuseum.com\/catalog\/1978\/wgsh_index.shtml\">1978<\/a> so he is almost impossible to find on a regular card.
