For the fate of humanity, a fierce battle
Spider-Man joins in a new costume
Text by SHINNO Kunihiko
The latest Marvel film, "Avengers: Infinity War," has surpassed $2 billion in worldwide box office revenue, marking a record-breaking hit.
The key to the story lies in the Infinity Stones, which, when all six are gathered, grant the power to annihilate half of all life in the universe. To defeat the ultimate enemy, Thanos, who seeks these stones of ultimate power, the Avengers, a team of Earth's mightiest heroes including Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man, assemble... but.
Ten years have passed since "Iron Man" ('08), the first film in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. While numerous films have been produced since then, this story unfolds on a grand scale befitting its culmination.
From the latest Marvel film, "Avengers: Infinity War," Spider-Man's new costume, the "Iron Spider," arrives as an MAFEX action figure, achieving both a superb form and exceptional range of motion. Peter Parker, who gained superpowers after being bitten by a genetically altered spider, is a mischievous high school student who dreams of joining the Avengers, an invitation extended by Iron Man. Boasting superhuman reflexes and jumping ability, he can move as if flying through the cityscapes using the powerful webs shot from his wrist-mounted web-shooters.
In preparation for the battle against Thanos, the new costume developed by Iron Man, Tony Stark, features four claws called "Iron Spider" extending from its back. The "MAFEX IRON SPIDER" perfectly recreates not only the suit's shape and symbolic spider motif but also the precise form and articulation points of the pincers. Magnets are built into the wrist and ankle joints, allowing it to attach to metallic surfaces just like in the film.
The highly anticipated sequel, "Avengers 4" (tentative title), is scheduled for release in the U.S. on May 3, 2019. Get the MAFEX IRON SPIDER and prepare for the next impact.
Head sculpt by Kyoichi Shimazaki. Sculpt by PERFECT-STUDIO. Approximately 145mm in height. The back pincers are flexibly articulated (removable). Includes interchangeable head. Various wrist parts, web parts, and an articulated figure stand included. Scheduled for release in April 2019 for ¥8,424 (tax included).
