Iron Studios MiniCo | Iron Spider - X-Men Storm
Vinyl figures are all the rage, but there's another stylized collectible from South America that's worth a look. In this Out of the Box video, Turco unboxes MiniCo from Iron Studios, featuring the Avengers: Endgame Iron Spider and Storm from the X-Men Animated Series line.
What's in the video
Iron Studios, from Brazil, has been making highly detailed collectible figures since 2012. It was the first Brazilian company with licensed products made 100% for collectors, and its licenses include Marvel, DC, Harry Potter and The Lord of the Rings. The team shares collectors' passion, so its products aim for the highest fidelity, using original references from films and series.
MiniCo is Iron Studios' twist on the vinyl figure craze: cute, highly stylized mini statues made of PVC with amazing detail. Each one is brought to life in a "Toy Art" style with expressive eyes and faces, vivid colors and action poses.

X-Men Animated Series: Storm
MiniCo's X-Men line goes back to the '90s and, according to Iron Studios, was one of the most requested series from fans and collectors.

The lineup includes Gambit, Rogue, Beast, Psylocke, Storm, Cyclops, Wolverine and Jean Grey.
