Join the Secret Wars with These Throwback Figures

Pre-order Black Suit Spider-Man now, the first of these limited edition figures today from Gentle Giant!

Before this summer’s massive Secret Wars event kicks off, take some time to revisit the original with Gentle Giant Ltd!

The original Secret Wars was a 12-part limited series that crossed over several Marvel Comics titles from May of 1984 to April of 1985. The event introduced The Beyonder to the Marvel Universe for the very first time and saw the omnipotent character assemble a new planet from chunks of other planets,  which he then calls “Battleworld.” Against their will, The Beyonder chooses several heroes and villains from Earth and teleports those chosen to his newly created Battleworld to fight for his amusement. Some of the highlights from Secret Wars include Spider-Man finding the black symbiote suit for the first time, Ben Grimm staying behind in space and Doctor Doom stealing The Beyonder’s powers.
