The second assortment of Iron Man figures followed the formula of
the first series very closely. Again, there were three armored figures
(all Iron Man variants), three villains, and one of Iron Man's non-armored
allies (Hawkeye, replacing the female figure of Spiderwoman). Another
large assortment with seven figures. Initially, the villains and Hawkeye
were difficult to find (presumably due to collector interest and thus,
speculator interest as well). Adding to this shortage was the fact that
Toy Biz had reduced the number of non-armored figures (i.e., mainly
villains) per case due to the slow sales of the first series' non-armored
characters. Fortunately, a steady stream of distribution eventually
eliminated any rarity (actual or perceived) for this assortment. In
a reversal from the first assortment, it was the armored figures that
lasted longest on the shelves.
