The Avengers - Chitauri Commander

[Product Introduction] Hot Toys' "Movie Masterpiece" series welcomes its 13th installment from the spectacular Marvel superhero movie "The Avengers"! The Chitauri Commander, the leader of the alien army that invaded Earth under the command of the evil god Loki, makes his appearance! Loki, Thor's brother, conspired with Thanos, an extraterrestrial being. In exchange for the Cosmic Cube on Earth, he was allowed to lead the powerful Chitauri army from another dimension. Loki quickly stole the Cosmic Cube from S.H.I.E.L.D. and used its power to create a "hole"—a junction between Earth and another dimension—atop Manhattan, New York. The waiting Chitauri forces then attacked one after another, destroying the city. Their overwhelming numbers and strength further troubled the Avengers. Standing approximately 32 centimeters tall and featuring over 22 points of articulation, this figure perfectly recreates the Chitauri Commander, who leads the Chitauri soldiers who invaded Earth due to the machinations of the evil god Loki. The helmet covering the head is removable, and the unmasked face, reminiscent of an insect or reptile, is meticulously hand-painted to recreate the texture of the skin. The body, newly developed exclusively for the Chitauri, features industry-leading painting techniques applied without compromise to every detail, realistically expressing the unique texture of their physique. The unusual armor, which has more armor plates than regular soldiers and is predominantly gold, is intricately sculpted down to the smallest detail. As a weapon, the arm cannon used in the film is included. By removing the hand parts, it can be equipped on either arm. A grenade, which was prepared when attempting to blow up the people trapped in the building, is also included, which is a nice touch. Furthermore, by using the interchangeable hand parts, you can recreate various battle scenes with your Avengers collection. The diorama-style base recreates the ruined streets of New York City. With freely arrangable rubble and sign parts, this special edition allows you to fully immerse yourself in the world of the film. As a memorable enemy character that appeared frequently in the movie, alongside the simultaneously announced "Chitauri Soldier," this item is a rare and must-have 3D representation that you'll want to collect multiple of! Keep an eye out for more from Hot Toys' ongoing Avengers series! *This product will also be released as a set with bonus accessories, including the Chitauri Soldier.
