Sentinel is expanding its Marvel Fighting Armor lineup with two especially collector-friendly additions: Fighting Armor Rescue and Fighting Armor Iron Spider (Miles Morales). Both reinterpret their comic-book designs as compact, heavily armored action figures with die-cast components, premium effect parts, and the kind of pose-focused engineering that has become the signature of the line.
The announcement is notable for more than simply adding two new Marvel characters. Miles Morales’ Iron Spider armor comes from the 2023 Carnage Reigns crossover, making it a relatively recent comic design that has not been broadly represented in the import figure market. Rescue, meanwhile, marks the Fighting Armor line’s first dedicated female-style body, giving the series an opportunity to move beyond its established armored male silhouette.
Two Very Different Takes on Sentinel’s Armor Concept
Fighting Armor figures are not intended to be straightforward comic recreations. Sentinel’s approach is to imagine familiar Marvel heroes as if they had been rebuilt through Stark Industries technology, retaining recognizable character cues while adding mechanical plating, exposed joints, metallic finishes, and science-fiction detailing.
That concept has produced some of the line’s strongest designs, but it has also made consistency between releases an important consideration for collectors. Miles Morales’ Iron Spider fits naturally into the concept because the character already received an advanced suit from Tony Stark during Carnage Reigns. Rescue is a more substantial departure, using the armor aesthetic to create a new mechanical interpretation of Pepper Potts’ familiar combat suit rather than simply reproducing a cinematic costume.
Both figures stand approximately 165mm tall, placing them in the familiar six-inch collector scale. They should work comfortably alongside many Marvel Legends displays while carrying a more premium, stylized presence than a standard mass-market figure.
Iron Spider Gives Miles a High-Tech Display Upgrade
Sentinel’s Miles Morales Iron Spider is based on the suit seen in Carnage Reigns, where Tony Stark equips Miles with armor during the battle against Carnage’s Extrembiote threat. The design combines Miles’ black-and-red color identity with metallic armor panels, clear components in the eyes and chest, and a distinctly mechanical profile.
The clear eye and chest parts are particularly important to the figure’s presentation. They should help break up the darker body colors and give the armor a more advanced, illuminated appearance under display lighting. The contrast between black armor, red accents, gold-toned details, and transparent parts also gives this version a sharper visual identity than the earlier Fighting Armor Iron Spider design.
The accessory package includes four mechanical spider arms that attach to the back, three pairs of interchangeable hands, two effect parts, and an adjustable display base. The additional spider arms are the centerpiece of the release, transforming the figure from a standard armored Spider-Man into a much more aggressive, multi-limbed combat display.
That equipment should make the Miles figure especially appealing to collectors who prefer dynamic shelf poses over neutral standing displays. The major question will be how securely the mechanical arms remain attached during posing. A previous Sentinel Fighting Armor Iron Spider review praised the figure’s construction and articulation but identified the mounting holes for the spider legs as a weak point, with the arms not seating as deeply as ideal. That issue concerned an earlier release, so it should not automatically be treated as a confirmed problem with the new Miles Morales version, but it is a sensible area for collectors to watch once production samples reach reviewers.
Rescue Brings a New Body Type to the Line
Fighting Armor Rescue is arguably the more important release from a line-development perspective. Sentinel describes the figure as a completely new sculpt and specifically presents it as the series’ first female-type Fighting Armor design. That should give Rescue a slimmer, more contoured silhouette than the broader armored bodies used for Iron Man, War Machine, Captain America, and other previous releases.
The sculpt appears to preserve Rescue’s recognizable energy while translating it into Sentinel’s mechanical language. The armor is sleek and aerodynamic, with a feminine proportion that should distinguish it from an Iron Man repaint or a simple retool. The design also retains the visual cues collectors expect from Rescue, including a bright metallic color scheme, compact armor plating, and flight-oriented equipment.
Rescue includes two pairs of interchangeable hands, a dedicated drone unit, beam effect parts, and an adjustable display stand. The drone is an especially welcome inclusion because it gives the figure a companion element for the shelf rather than relying entirely on repulsor effects and alternate hands.
For collectors building a broader Fighting Armor display, Rescue could become one of the most visually useful releases in the series. The figure should provide a strong contrast against the heavier male armor designs, while the drone and flight stand create an immediate aerial action setup. It also offers a more natural way to include Pepper Potts in a comic-focused Marvel display without relying on a movie-specific costume.
Articulation, Materials, and Expected Handling
Sentinel’s published specifications list ABS, ATBC-PVC, POM, PP, and die-cast metal among the materials used for these figures. The die-cast components are intended to add weight and solidity, while the joint layout is designed around human movement rather than simply placing hinges wherever the armor allows.
Previous reviews of Fighting Armor releases have generally highlighted the combination of sturdy construction, smooth posing, and a satisfying metal-heavy feel. Reviewers have also noted that bulky armor can still limit certain poses, particularly where large plates overlap at the shoulders, elbows, knees, or hips. That tradeoff is part of the line’s identity: these are armored reinterpretations first, and conventional spandex-suited Spider-Man figures second.
Collectors should also remember that Sentinel’s promotional images can make clear parts, metallic paint, and joint tolerances appear more dramatic than they may be on production samples. Paint wear around moving armor panels is another sensible concern with any heavily finished die-cast action figure, particularly for buyers who plan to repose the figure frequently rather than maintain a single display pose.
Pricing and Release Timing
The announced U.S. preorder pricing places Rescue at $112.99 and Miles Morales at $99.99. The source announcement lists Rescue for January 2027 and Miles Morales for the third quarter of the year. Japanese and international retailer listings have shown somewhat different dates, with Rescue appearing around November 2026 and the Miles figure appearing around August 2026, so collectors should treat retailer schedules as estimates until the manufacturer or individual retailer confirms a final shipping window.
At roughly the $100 price point, Miles Morales has the easier value argument thanks to his multiple hand options, four mechanical arms, effect parts, clear components, die-cast construction, and display stand. Rescue costs more, but the price reflects the expense of developing a new body type and includes a dedicated drone in addition to the usual flight-display equipment.
Neither release is aimed at the casual buyer looking for an inexpensive Marvel figure. These are premium import collectibles built around stylized sculpting, mechanical detailing, and display presence. They will be most attractive to collectors who already enjoy Sentinel’s Fighting Armor aesthetic, fans of modern Marvel Comics designs, and hobbyists who want something more distinctive than another standard comic or film adaptation.
Collector verdict: Miles Morales is the safer choice for Spider-Man and modern-comics collectors, particularly those who want a dramatic black-and-red armor design with a strong accessory package. Rescue is the more significant release for the Fighting Armor line itself, offering a new silhouette and a much-needed expansion of its visual range. Collectors invested in the series will likely view both as important additions, while buyers who are selective may want to wait for production photography and handling reviews before committing at the premium price.
