Character Background
The Mark 37 'Hammerhead' is a Deep Sea Suit from the Iron Man 3 movie's 'Iron Legion'. It is designed to withstand extreme pressure and cold at ocean depths.
Design Notes
First non-red/gold Iron Man suit to use the modern helmet mold in a muted 'military' color palette. It stands out significantly in Hall of Armor displays.
Similar Minifigures
Iron Man Mark 39 (Gemini/Starboost), Iron Man Mark 42, and Iron Man Mark 33 (Silver Centurion).
Collectibility
High. Since it is a unique 'named' armor suit from the Iron Legion, it is a staple for Iron Man suit completionists.
History
Part of a 2016 wave that focused on 'deep sea' variants of Avengers characters to coincide with various Marvel media at the time.
Interesting Facts
Despite being an 'Iron Man 3' design, it was released in a set branded under the 'Avengers Assemble' cartoon style to fight Iron Skull (Red Skull).
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in a 'Hall of Armor' MOC or alongside the Iron Skull Sub. Use a transparent stand to simulate an underwater hovering pose.
Modification Potential
The Sand Green parts are popular for custom military MOCs or Master Chief (Halo) purist customs.
Overall Assessment
A standout Marvel minifigure due to its unique color and highly detailed suit printing. A must-have for Iron Man collectors.
