He also has a sculpt with the mask pulled up on top of his head and two masked heads with wide open and slightly narrower eye pieces. Miles comes with… Four different head sculpts! One completely unmasked which is perfectly identical to the animated film. Once again, Mafex blows us away with the supplemental pieces they’ve packed with Miles. I’ll explore those concerns further down in the articulation review, but for now, let’s discuss the accessories. While, on the one hand, it makes for an accurate appearance, on the other it also means that joints easily separate and the figure comes apart with very little effort. The hands and feet are very small and the figure himself is incredibly lean and slender. He’s based on a teenage body, given that Miles is about 14 years old in the movie and is incredibly tiny. When I cracked open the box, I honestly didn’t want to touch the figure. The Medicom Mafex Into the Spider-Verse Miles Morales is an incredibly detailed, intricately sculpted and (unfortunately) very fragile figure. Can Miles take a leap of faith, and become Spider-Man? But, a hero isn’t the one who always wins. More and more, with the fate of the multiverse hanging by a thread, young and utterly inexperienced Miles has no other choice but to master his newfound abilities, even though he believes that not everyone is cut out to be a hero. Now, gifted with unfathomable powers, much like the original Spider-Man (2002), Miles is shocked to discover that life has become even more complicated, unbeknownst to him that he is about to get caught in the middle of a dreadful inter-dimensional conflict. Wrestling with his new responsibilities, Miles discovers a whole new world hidden at an abandoned NYC subway tunnel, only to get bitten by a stealthy radioactive arachnid from another dimension. Struggling to find his place in the world, while juggling school and family, Miles Morales, a smart teenager from Brooklyn, reluctantly enrols in an elite New York City boarding school. Plot summary, from IMDB courtesy of Nick Riganas: This figure is based on the animated movie iteration of young Miles and man oh man, it does not disappoint!!!! I got to know more about Miles in the sequel game, featuring this character. I was sufficiently intrigued to learn more and so, ordered the Into The Spider-Verse movie and was blown away.
