Iron Man has been a Marvel superhero for more than 60 years. However, when someone floated the idea of a standalone Marvel movie, many wondered whether it was the right call. Turns out it was as not only was that movie a huge success, but it began the MCU as we know it. Iron Man may well be the most famous Marvel hero after Spider-Man thanks to Robery Downey Jr's portrayal of Tony Stark, and the character has been turned into various Funko Pops since Iron Man's big screen success.
Since Stark has switched up Iron Man's armor over the years, it has given Funko a lot to work with when creating new figures. The newest Iron Man Funko Pop! is quite a bit different from most to have come before it though as only half of it is suited up. The Pop! shows Stark either midway through removing his Iron Man suit or midway through putting it on, the nanotech the Avenger introduces in Infinity War helping Stark suit up with minimal effort.
The only visible part of the Pop's suit that's complete is the gold mask. The rest is still in the process of being assembled, quickly covering a cocky Stark who is standing with his arms out, presumably showing off his nanotech suit to whoever happens to be watching. The mask is open so you can see Stark's face, and the best part of the Pop! is the detail that's gone into the half-assembled suit. You can see where the nanotech is wrapping itself around Iron Man's body, the blaster on the left hand of the suit, and the arc reactor that keeps Stark alive in the middle of the figure's chest.

Hopefully that's not the case as that means anyone who wants the Pop! will need to pay through the nose for it on a resale site, that's if they can find anyone willing to sell it in the first place. A Cresseilia Pokemon Funko Pop! has also been labeled a C2E2 exclusive, giving us collectors two figures to worry about if they're never sold anywhere else.
Just because Iron Man and Cresselia will be C2E2 exclusives, that doesn't mean Marvel and Pokemon fans who won't be at the convention don't have new Funko Pops to look forward to. Figures based on characters from Marvel's Spider-Man 2 , including Miles in his unpopular Evolved suit , have been revealed, as have the next three Pokemon getting the Pop! treatment - Chimchar, Snubbull, and Greninja.
