3age series 3 marvel-babies by asunaro
3AGE Series 3 Playset Products of Marvel-Baby-fied 3-year-old-superheroes (hence "3-age") by Asunaro sees Spiderman in 2 versions - Black and Red/White, a Wolverine in OG-Brown uniform (still the best look, IMHO), an uber-cool Iron Man in Stealth-Mode and (possibly a chase) Hulk with pink-pants!? muahahaha (FYI: Both Hulk and Wolverine were previously released in Series 1 but in different colored uniforms) - CLICK on images to embiggen :)
Standing approximately 10cm tall and set for an August-drop @ 4,620YEN (US$43+/SGD$59) on Blister.Jp - there's also a Pearl-version of an earlier-released red+blue Spiderman - with "pearl" surface-coating @ 924YEN-per (US$9 / SGD$12). Adorably cute they are indeed. I. Liiiike. I. Want.
Bummed to see these are all repaints as I REALLY enjoyed Series 1 and 2, but will still pick these up as they're some of my favorite little figures to collect
ReplyDeleteI first found out about these guys through your site (thanks!) and purchased series 2 in Japan while there on vacation last year. I had to pick up series 1 through a friend and ebay - they're pretty hard to find in the States.
glad i could help with the "addiction", TSR ... muhahahaha ;p
ReplyDeleteirony is, i've even yet to see them in person, much less have them in my humble collection - and they are disgustingly-adorably-CUTE, IMHO LOL
im expecting to see toddlers dressedup like that for sdcc tho lol
I've decided what would have pleased me more as a repaint asst:
ReplyDeleteWolverine and Black Spiderman costume are fine - no changes necessary.
Iron Man - Stealth suit is a nice nod to fans of that suit, but as a figure, he's not too visually pleasing. I'd go with a GOLD and red repaint. Add a pearl finish to make it pop!
Hulk - eh, as far as I can tell, just the pants are different, correct? So why not make him the grey hulk instead of green? You get basically a whole new character with just a paint color change.
Lastly, we don't need a third version of the standard Spidey suit. I'm guessing he's there just to satisfy the "WE NEED A SPIDEY TO ANCHOR THE ASSORTMENT" type mentality, but I think the black costume Spidey is fine for that. So why not rerelease Daredevil instead, but in his original Yellow Costume?!

It's a very stark difference and I always loved the irony of a hero known as "The Man Without Fear" in what is usually considered the color of cowards ;)
