Revoltech presents the Iron Spider, a figure inspired by the suit coveted and worn by several Marvel characters, first appearing in The Amazing Spider-Man and donned by Peter Parker! This Ramjet figure is inspired by his 1993 G2 toy release, featuring his special G2 black, purple and blue deco. The Scarlet Edge was a brutal and peerless Warrior from an ancient feudal society. He was master of combat in all forms, until his savage death in a war against an Army of the Undead. Enraged at his defeat, he returns to Earth to gain his revenge as Mandarin Spawn. This Mortal Kombat figure is based on Kung Lao’s appearance in Mortal Kombat 2 and will include two swap out portraits, multiple interchangeable hands, a removable hat, a hat with a slash effect, a blood effect piece, and the Rabbit from his Friendship. From Aoshima comes a new collaboration combining Godzilla and Evangelion as they have never been seen before. One of the first in this new line of pre-painted, snap-together model kits is Mechagodzilla (Type-3 Kiryu EVA Unit-01 Color Ver.). From the hit series Pacific Rim: The Black comes a Robot Spirits figure of the main Mark-3 Jaeger, Atlas Destroyer! From the movie Dragon Ball Z: Cooler’s Revenge, the final form of Frieza’s brother, Cooler is brought to the S.H.Figuarts series.
