Hey Marvel fans.
We are here at the BANDAI NAMCO booth
at New York Comic Con with my buddy David.
We're going to check out so much cool stuff from this,
the Illuminated Gallery collectible line
to statues, action figures, and so much more.
Let's go check it out.
Let's do it.
Let's start with maybe the Captain?
DAVID EDMUNDSON: Captain America, spoiler alert,
finally picks up Thor's hammer.
And it was so amazing.
And so we had to capture it in this amazing SH Figuarts.
It's part of our new Dramatic line.
Hopefully that's something that everyone's going to love.
Comes with Mjolnir.
Comes with the half shield.
Probably comes with the full shield.
And it is just incredibly possible like all SH Figuarts.
And it should be able to come to the US.
David, what is this?
So this is our Illuminated Gallery collection.
And Ultron is a bit of a trickster,
and you want to make sure you keep him bottled up.
So what we did is we put him in glass for you.
It lights up, it glows in the dark,
and that way you can have Ultron without worrying
about all that, you know, global domination and murder.
Or if you're a--
if you're an aspiring supervillain,
it's like Ultron in glass.
Break glass in case of world domination.
Give me an Ultron.
Quick, stat.
Just throw it on the ground.
Mazel tov!
[LAUGHTER]
OK, so we have some of these figures here.
Talk us through what this is all about.
So our newest one is going to be Wolverine.
But this is the Manga Realization line.
And so this is done by a Japanese artist who
has painstakingly recreated modern characters, what
they would look like in feudal Japan.
So Wolverine is the newest one.
He's got his claws.
We've got Deadpool, we've got a black suit Spider-Man,
and we've got Captain America.
Which seems weird to have a feudal Japan Captain America,
but this thing is incredible.
The shield, he's got ninja stars, he's chucking them,
he's a great guy.
Wolverine comes with four different claws.
He's got his saw blade claws, he's
got more traditional claws, he's got some hook claws.
RYAN PENAGOS: What?
DAVID EDMUNDSON: And it is so much
fun to play with these things.
There was even a comic book made to sort of give some story
to these characters, right? - Yeah, absolutely.
We worked with Marvel.
They made up an awesome comic book.
Why these characters are back in feudal Japan.
What they were doing, and just--
wacky mayhem ensued.
I love wacky mayhem.
It's the best kind of mayhem.
But I also love statues.
You guys also do some statues?
We've got statues just right over there.
- Let's go check them out. - Let's go.
These are two different soft vinyl recreations of Venom.
We've got Eddie Brock bursting out,
and we got your more traditional long tongue Venom coming out,
which everyone just wants to put on the shelf.
Just that tongue from Venom just sticking
down their bookshelves.
And these are soft vinyl statues.
They're really cool.
There's all these different pieces and it's gross.
It is.
In the best way possible.
Venom's supposed to be gross.
The symbiote just peels off.
That's some of my favorite things about Venom
is when it's just peeling off poor Eddie Brock,
or whoever it stuck to.
And it's gross, it's visceral, it's super detailed,
and it's just an amazing piece to have.
So there's one more piece?
One more.
OK.
All right.
You've made the terrible decision of letting
me play with the Iron Spider.
This is so cool.
Yeah, I mean, toys are meant to be played with, so.
Yep.
You know, they're great displayed on your shelf.
But in the end, you really want to play with your toys.
And that's one of the good things about you know Sentinel.
And this guy is made of die cast metal.
It's got the three extra arms.
They're articulated, they pose.
He poses.
His costume is made out of--
part of it is made out of a material
that can actually bend and flex with the actual figure.
It feels like a leather facsimile.
It's so cool.
I wasn't expecting that part to be a fabric.
Yeah.
I thought it was just part of the plastic.
It's really neat.
Yeah.
And so, you know, collecting is great.
Collecting on shelves is great.
But touching something is a whole new level
and takes you back to the tactile feel.
Really enhances the experience, and I'm glad we're
able to take this guy out.
Man, that's awesome.
David, thanks so much for showing us all the Marvel
stuff here from BANDAI NAMCO.
Absolutely.
It's always a pleasure when Marvel comes and stops by,
and we love showing off what we got.
Hopefully next time we'll have some more stuff to show you.
