At this point in late summer, merchandisers are firmly going all-in with Thor Ragnarok toys and pretty much every toy coming for Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Spider-Man Homecoming has gone up for sale. But it looks like there was at least one major holdout, as Bandai Japan had two more Spider-Man Homecoming figures waiting in the wings: the SH Figuarts Homemade Suit Spider-Man and Iron Man Mark 47 figures are now up for order!

Though Hasbro Marvel Legends figures still rule the Marvel 1:12 roost by a large margin, other companies like Mezco ONE:12 Collective and Bandai SH Figuarts have definitely been growing their own fan bases of 6″ collectors over the last few years.

And so, though Hasbro released their own versions of Homecoming Iron Man Mark XLVII and Homemade Suit Spider-Man a few months back, some collectors have been holding off and hoping the S.H. Figuarts versions of those characters would actually be released.

And patience for those fans has paid off–the remaining Spider-Man Homecoming Figuarts are officially on the way!

First up, we’ve got the Bandai Homemade Suit Spider-Man Figuarts figure. I actually thought Hasbro’s version of this character design was quite nice, but there’s no denying that Bandai’s looks better (though it’s at the cost of a much higher cost).

The colors look a bit more on-model on the S.H. Figuarts version of Homemade Suit Spider-Man, and it looks like his lowered hood will hold in place (even upside-down!) to allow for more dynamic poses. The webline accessory, interchangeable hands and figure stand add to the fun. This is a pretty great release all-around.

Now, as pretty much everyone expected, there’s also (of course) an SH Figuarts Iron Man Mark 47 figure in his Homecoming armor. As this armor is a recolor of the Civil War Mark 46 armor, that should surprise absolutely no one.

But what I think will actually surprise some folks who haven’t been paying attention is the fact that this Mark 47 Iron Man Figuarts figure is only available in an exclusive two-pack with Homemade Suit Spider-Man.

Just like Funko and Hasbro and Diamond Select Toys before them, for licensing reasons, Bandai Japan is limited to releasing this particular Iron Man in a two-pack with Homemade Costume Spidey. I know this is going to annoy some folks, but it’s really outside of Bandai’s control.

I assumed that this two-pack would be readily available from US importers like WoozyMoo and BBTS, but for the moment, even those sites don’t have any listings for this particular duo (although they do have the domestic Bandai Tamashii Nations Homemade Spider-Man with Wall diorama already–hmmm).

Whereas the Hasbro Marvel Legends Homecoming Iron Man figure’s articulation is limited and the paint is a bit dull, the S.H. Figuarts iteration blows it out of the water. The super-articulation and premium shiny paint on the figure make it well-worth the effort to track down and the extra bucks the Bandai version costs, in my opinion.

The S.H. Figuarts Homemade Suit Spider-Man with Wall diorama went up for sale in the U.S. on Friday, and the two-pack is currently available for Asian residents only via the Bandai Premium Web Store. These aren’t mass-release figures overseas, and thus won’t be available from the usual stores like HLJ or Amiami, so that two-pack may be a bit tougher to obtain than usual.

What do you think of these late-bloomer S.H. Figuarts Spider-Man Homecoming figures, Marvel collectors? Is this too little too late, or are these figures big enough upgrades to make you trade up your Marvel Legends versions?
