With a spectacular lineup spanning countless comic book titles, nine cartoons, and three cinematic franchises, Spider-Man\u2019s radioactive r\u00e9sum\u00e9 continues to capture new fans in his web of wonder with each new plot thread he spins. In anticipation of Spidey\u2019s next big-screen blockbuster Spider-Man: Homecoming<\/i> swinging into theaters this July, we\u2019ve put together a list of must-have Spider-Man<\/i> figures from Japan that any True Believer would be proud to show off!<\/p>\n

S.H. Figuarts \u2013 \u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming\u201d Figure<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"S.H.<\/p>\n

Besides this figure\u2019s uncanny ability to re-enact your favorite comic book poses and its direct connection to one of 2017\u2019s most highly anticipated summer films, what truly sets S.H. Figuarts\u2019 articulated wall-crawler apart from the rest is the Tamashii Option Act Wall collector\u2019s edition scheduled for release in October 2017.<\/p>\n

If that seems too far away, don\u2019t worry; a standard Spidey variant<\/strong><\/a> is due out August 2017, and has plenty of exclusive features to love: the prominent texture of his suit, the interchangeable eye expressions on his mask, and his first-ever release by one of Japan\u2019s most esteemed action figure manufacturers. Throw in eight optional hands, three types of webbing, and Parker\u2019s trusty backpack and cellphone, and you have all the essentials you need to bring the friendly neighborhood hero swinging into your collection.<\/p>\n

Nendoroid \u2013 \u201cSpider-Man: Homecoming\u201d Figure<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Nendoroid<\/p>\n

What do you get when you combine Ant-Man\u2019s Pym particle with the youngest member of Team Iron Man? We haven\u2019t seen this scenario unfold in the Marvel films\u2026 yet, but Nendoroid provides a pretty accurate visual of what could happen, while throwing in kawaii<\/i> chibi proportions for a Japanese twist on this famous American superhero. Though a highly textured 2014 Nendoroid Spidey (complete with tiny New York City diorama) already exists, this latest Marvel x Nendoroid collaboration will have your Spider-Sense tingling with its three masked face plates and additional Peter Parker head based on actor Tom Holland\u2019s already adorable features.<\/p>\n

Swinging on the Bushido bandwagon of Bandai\u2019s successful Star Wars Movie Realization series, this Samurai Spider-Man reimagines the web-head as an intimidating Japanese warrior.

Armed with a pair of katana and protected by a suit of armor plated in red and blue, Samurai Spidey is ready for any disaster that the Land of the Rising Sun has to offer. Now if only there were a feudal era Carnage or Venom to pit him against.<\/p>\n

Amazing Yamaguchi \u2013 Spider-Man Figure Series<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Amazing<\/p>\n

With great articulation, comes great pose-ability! However, the claim to fame of these <\/b>Amazing Yagamuchi Spider-Man figures<\/strong><\/a>\u2014featuring the titular hero, Spider-Gwen, and Venom\u2014isn\u2019t just their 13 points of articulation, \u201cinvisible\u201d joints, and treasure trove of optional expressions and gestures. With Spider-Man and Spider-Gwen\u2019s magnet and arm extensions, you can use any magnetized surface to create scenarios and poses inaccessible to most other articulated figures. Venom\u2019s lack of climbing is certainly made up for with his eerie facial expressions and panache for predatory poses, which are all the more unnerving thanks to the optional Symbiote tendrils you can attach to his mutated form.<\/p>\n

\"Kotobukiya<\/p>\n

Kotobukiya\u2019s Carnage Fine Art Statue<\/strong><\/a> is nearly as rare as the Symbiote bonded to his body.

Sculpted to sanguinary life by the talents of Erick Sosa, this imposing 1\/6-scale statue easily re-solidifies Carnage\u2019s place among the most favorite (and feared) Marvel villains of all time.<\/p>\n

What could possibly make Spider-Man even cooler than having a sixth sense and epic origin story? A giant mecha, of course! At least that\u2019s what Toei thought when they created a Japanese-exclusive live-action series based on the web-head.<\/p>\n
