Yoshi è conosciuto come il fidato compagno di Mario durante le varie imprese dell’idraulico più noto del web, per salvare la Principessa Peach e sventare i malvagi piani del minaccioso Bowser. Inizialmente Yoshi doveva essere un tipo di Koopa, ma alla fine si è evoluto nel design che tutti noi conosciamo e amiamo oggi. Il guscio è stato trasformato in una sella per permettere a Mario di cavalcarlo, e il suo aspetto è stato reso più simile a quello di un dinosauro per differenziare le due specie. Yoshi può ingoiare i nemici interi con la sua lingua iper-estesa e ottenere abilità speciali a seconda dell’avversario divorato, oppure trasformarli in uova che possono servire come proiettili o schiudersi in potenziamenti per Mario, a seconda del titolo della serie. Mario continua a essere il volto di Nintendo dopo tutti questi anni e, sin dal debutto di Yoshi, l’amato dinosauro verde è diventato una presenza fissa nel franchise di Mario. Super Mario – Edizione ESCLUSIVA Mario e Yoshi include: Statua in resina Super Mario – Mario e Yoshi Uovo di Yoshi con magneti incorporati ispirati allo stile e al tema dei giochi di Super Mario Base magnetizzata per sostenere l’Uovo di Yoshi Base altamente dettagliata su cui si ergono Mario e Yoshi Certificato di autenticità (immagine)

"I don't need cars, or planes, or computers. I don't need anything you have. All I need... is Batman." - Batman In the groundbreaking Absolute Universe from DDC Comics, writer Scott Snyder and artist Nick Dragotta reimagine the Dark Knight as a relentless blue-collar: a massively built, working-class Bruce Wayne who forges his own brutal path against Gotham's chaos, armed with raw ingenuity and unyielding menace rather than billionaire resources. Sideshow and Hot Toys is thrilled to present the Batmanâ„¢ Sixth Scale Collectible Figure, inspired by the Absolute Batman comic series. Standing at approximately 37 cm tall, this sixth scale figure brings the massively built Batman from the comics to life. It strikingly captures his powerful physique, featuring a muscular body made from soft vinyl materials that allow for a smooth, seamless joint design. The Batman action figure features a Batman cowl head with detachable bat ears and three interchangeable lower faces, allowing collectors to use his bat ears as knives and shift his expression from grim to outright menace. Batman is outfitted in Batsuit with neck and shoulder armor built for recreating iconic moments. To customize his silhouette, the set includes short and long spike options, allowing collectors to choose between a cleaner look or turn up the aggression to its fullest. The bat-symbol on his chest is magnetically removable; paired with the Bat-Axe weapon, it allows collectors to recreate scenes where the bat-symbol becomes part of his brutal arsenal. Finishing the imposing profile is a set of wire-embedded cape in bat-wings mode, perfect for dynamic motion poses. His look is completed with a yellow utility belt and long boots. For combat-ready setups, Batman comes equipped with a Bat-Axe featuring interchangeable short and long handles, as well as a shotgun. A specially designed figure stand with character nameplate completes the presentation. With towering presence, interchangeable armor and weapon configurations, and a cape system built for dramatic stances, this Batman figure is a next-level comic centerpiece, made to dominate your display shelf from any angle!

Rated T
Writer/editor Stan Lee (1922-2018) made comic-book history together with Jack Kirby in 1961 with Fantastic Four #1. The monumental popularity of its new style inspired Lee to develop similarly themed characters — including the Hulk and X-Men with Kirby, Spider-Man and Doctor Strange with Steve Ditko, and Daredevil with Bill Everett. After shepherding his creations through dozens of issues — in some cases a hundred or more — Lee allowed other writers to take over, but he maintained steady editorial control. Eventually, he helped expand Marvel into a multimedia empire. In recent years, his frequent cameo appearances in Marvel’s films established Lee as one of the world’s most famous faces.As both writer and artist, Archie Goodwin (d. 1998) got his start in comic strips and cartoons before moving to Warren Publishing’s Vampirella — and from there to Marvel, where he eventually succeeded Gerry Conway as editor in chief. He has been credited with saving Marvel from financial ruin, with Roy Thomas, by securing adaptation rights to the legendary Star Wars franchise, perceiving its potential long before later merchandisers. He also wrote comic-book adaptations of Alien, Blade Runner and other hit films. He created both Marvel’s Graphic Novel line and its Epic Comics imprint — where, as editor, he occasionally appeared in caricature as alien, elf or other. He also edited early English translations of the Akira series and the works of Moebius. At DC Comics, he guided the destinies of Batman and Starman; one of his most memorable bodies of work was his collaboration with Walter Simonson on the “Manhunter” backup feature in Detective Comics, which won five Shazam Awards.Born Jacob Kurtzberg in 1917 to Jewish-Austrian parents on New York’s Lower East Side, Jack Kirby came of age at the birth of the American comic book industry. Beginning his career during the rising tide of Nazism, Kirby and fellow artist Joe Simon created the patriotic hero Captain America. Cap’s exploits on the comic book page entertained millions of American readers at home and inspired U.S. troops fighting the enemy abroad. When World War II ended, the public’s interest in super heroes waned; Kirby turned his artistic talents during the 1950s to other genres, such as monsters, Westerns and crime — as well as the first-of-its-kind Young Romance Comics. In 1961, Kirby returned to super heroes to illustrate what would become the defining issue in Marvel Comics history: Fantastic Four #1. Written by Stan Lee, the team’s debut revolutionized the industry overnight. In contrast to the staid artwork of his predecessors, Kirby’s illustrations seemed to leap off the page with eye-popping action and drama. For the next decade, Kirby and Lee would introduce a mind-boggling array of new characters — including the Avengers, the Hulk, Thor, Iron Man, the Silver Surfer and the X-Men. Taken together, Kirby’s groundbreaking work with Lee formed the foundation of the Marvel Universe. In the early 1970s, Kirby moved to DC Comics, where his boundless creativity continued. He returned to Marvel in 1975, writing and illustrating Captain America and introducing his final major concept, the Eternals. With the explosion of TV animation during the 1980s, Kirby’s talents turned to the small screen. Comic fans quickly recognized his work on such series as Thundarr the Barbarian and Turbo Teen. Kirby died in 1994, but his influence on the comic book industry is as strong as ever. His work has inspired a generation of professional artists and modern writers who continue to explore his vast universe of concepts and characters.John Buscema (1927-2002) literally wrote the book on being a Marvel artist — namely, How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way — and few were better qualified. His career dated back to the Timely/Atlas era of the late ’40s and early ’50s. Soon after beginning the Marvel Age of Comics, Stan Lee recruited Buscema from the advertising field to the Marvel Bullpen. Buscema followed a long run on Avengers with the long-anticipated first Silver Surfer series. He subsequently succeeded Jack Kirby on Fantastic Four, Thor and other titles. By the time of his retirement in 1996, Buscema had penciled nearly every Marvel title — including his personal favorite, Conan the Barbarian.
