Japan's TAKARA TOMY company's toy brand T-ARTS recently launched a new accessory-type gashapon from MARVEL, the "Iron Man & Stark Industries -Item Collection-"! It not only lets you own Iron Man collectibles but also subtly transforms you into a member of Stark Industries.
First up are the head sculpt models designed based on the Mark 50 and Mark 85 armors, which shone brightly in "Avengers: Infinity War" and "Avengers: Endgame." The gashapon capsule itself transforms into a display piece approximately 9 cm tall, featuring an opening/closing mechanism and a base indicating the armor's name. Meanwhile, the Stark Industries nameplate and Iron Man ring, crafted from alloy material, exude a sophisticated, mature collector's charm. They primarily use gold and silver as their base colors, intricately carving three-dimensional designs of STARK INDUSTRIES, Iron Man's head, and the arc reactor on his chest. Pinning them to a suit jacket looks incredibly cool!
There are 7 types of "Iron Man & Stark Industries -Item Collection-" available for collection:
1. Alloy Ring -Iron Man- (ダイキャストリング -アイアンマン-)
2. Alloy Ring -Arc Reactor- (ダイキャストリング -アークリアクター-)
3. Stark Expo Pin Badge (スタークエキスポ ピンバッジ)
4. Stark Industries Emblem Pin Badge Silver (スタークインダストリーズ エンブレム ピンバッジ シルバー)
5. Stark Industries Emblem Pin Badge Gold (スタークインダストリーズ エンブレム ピンバッジ ゴールド)
6. Iron Man Mark 50 Head Figure (アイアンマン Mark.50 ヘッドフィギュア)
7. Iron Man Mark 85 Head Figure (アイアンマン Mark.85 ヘッドフィギュア)
