For fans of Iron Man, it’s always their dream to collect every single variation of Tony Stark’s armors, from Mark 1 to Mark 50 and Mark 85 of the Avenger’s End Game movie. Over the years there are many China clone bricks brands that made minifigures of Iron man, including Decool, SY, Lele, DLP, Pogo and Xinh just to name a few.

When Sembo announced that it will release a “book” that contains 52 Iron Man minifigures, many of us were skeptical about it. For one, it would a dream come true to collect every Iron Man Mark in one shot, but we were also worried about the quality and print of the Iron Man, given there were many brands releasing the minifigures with top notch quality over the year. Finally we got our hands on the “book”. The review here are based on CK and the photos taken by him. This review had lots of photos to load due to large numbers of Iron Man minifigures to cover.

SY1361 Iron Book package arrived yesterday and inside it a shopping bag, which is handy if you wanted to give the set as gift. The box itself is printed in appealing red and white.

The back of the box with serial number and details of the book and the minifigures.

Open the box and two smaller red boxes appeared.

The instruction manual. There were 52 minifigures, but MK44, MK48, MK49 were missing. There were no official design of those three Iron Man, though many argued MK44 and MK48 were Hulkbuster I and II. As for MK49, the candidates could be Iron Spider or Rescue Armor of Pepper Potts. These could be the reason Sembo leave that three Marks out.

Minor problem with the sticker for the book, there is another sticker pasted on top of it, which took us a while to peel it off and caused damage to the sticker.

Beside MK1-MK8 that packed individually, the rest of the Marks are packed in one bag for two minifigures.

52 minifigures, with two minifigures of Tony Stark, Time Travel Suit and Iron Legion.

Accessories for all the Marks. Notice the Repulsor Lightning Refocuser of Mark 85, shield and one laptop. A bottle is among the pile of clear part, guess it could be for fat Thor to drink.

Iron Man MK1, MK2, MK3, and MK4. The MK1 used the Iron Stan helmet that Sembo released for its Stark Tower set. For the rest of the Iron Man minifigures, the helmet is the new design exclusive to Sembo, in which the chin guard is on the helmet, not on the face mask. This design is more accurate compared to LEGO. All the minifigures came with arm printing, side leg printing and back printing.

Let’s take a look at the book. There is no way to collect just the minifigures and leave the book out. So bare with us in this review!

Several of the building steps involved illegal LEGO method and use of non-LEGO compatible parts. Used of rubber hammer to whack in the small pieces will save your finger from numb and sore.

Stickers of “Iron Book”. You may leave them out if you don’t like the wording. We would prefer words like Encyclopedia of Iron Man.

Iron Man Minifigures only had 1 x 2 studs space to stand on. This create a problem if you want to add extra armor for MK33, MK37 and MK85. The minifigures would be stand in an awkward way.

There are limited space in between the minifigures. If you have Iron Man made by other brands who had special armor and accessories, it would be tough to display them. One solution is to add extra pieces of bricks beneath the slope piece to create more space for armor. But the book can’t be closed if you were to do that.

SY1361 Iron Book, with mask of Iron Man at the front of the book. It would be nice if Sembo could give those smooth pieces to get rid of the studs.

Glow in the dark for the eyes.

This book is perfect for those who wanted to collect all the Iron Man minifigures in single effort. For those who had collected most of the minifigures, you may skip this one. We wish Sembo could release Iron Man minifigures separately or without books. You may order SY1361 Iron Book from Aliexpress. Our understanding the first run had sold out and Sembo factory is doing second run of the set. Hopefully we could see books for Batman, Starwars and other Marvel and DC characters.
