For comic book fans who grew up reading DC and Marvel stories from the 90's, a dose of nostalgia and awesome collector booty is going to hit the market next year as Medicom Toys has revealed their next batch of MAFEX action figures based on comic book characters - and it's Azrael's Batman and Ben Reilly as Spider-Man! Thanks to the interwebz, we get our first look at their figures and their alternate unmasked heads and accessories!
Based on the well-known "Batman: Knightfall" storyline of the 90's where Bruce Wayne was forced to relinquish the mantle of the bat after being broken by Bane, Azrael was chosen as the new Batman to defend Gotham while Wayne left the city for another mission - not realizing how mentally unstable and brutal his successor was. To that end, Jean-Paul Valley constructed a new Batsuit that was big departure from his predecessor - to take on Bane and show Gotham City that a new and more savage Dark Knight was watching its citizens.
Spiralling out of the controversial "Clone Sage" of the 90's, Ben Reilly - a clone of Peter Parker and thought to be the original by both men at the time, was chosen by Peter to take over as Spider-Man while the latter left New York City to build a new life with Mary Jane and their unborn child. Retiring the mantle of the Scarlet Spider, Ben fashioned himself a new costume and took over webslinging duties as the new and improved Amazing Spider-Man!
Both MAFEX action figures are scheduled to be released on September 2021!
