Square Enix Brings Back Their Marvel Universe Variant Figures
The Marvel Universe has returned to Square Enix with the return of their Marvel Variant figures. Figures similar to this have been released in the past but were under the Play Arts Kai line. This time though, we will get getting some iconic Marvel heroes under the Bring Arts line. Three heroes are here with Iron Man, Captain America, and Spider-Man arriving to save the day. Each one has been newly redesigned under the designer Tetsuya Nomura. He is quite known for the work he does with Final Fantasy characters. Each figure is packed with detail, highly articulated, and comes with a nice variety of accessories. Iron Man comes with interchangeable hands and attachable wings. Captain America will get his iconic shield that can be attached to his back along with swappable hands. Spider-Man will be taking on his Marvel Comics Civil War storyline costume design with attachable legs attachments and extra hand pieces.
Each one of these figures is interesting in their own way and they could easily fit in any Marvel fans collection. It is always interesting to see a new redesign for such classic characters. It is pretty cool to see what the designer of Final Fantasy characters does when he gets is hands on Marvel. Each of these Square Enix Marvel Universe Variant Figures will be priced at $134. You will be able to find each of them below along with photos and descriptions. I can't wait to see what other Marvel characters are around the corner for this line. Who would you like to see get the Square Enix remake next? I would love to see Thor and Venom under the new Bring Arts line and who knows maybe we will see them in the future.
