Earlier this year, McFarlane Toys announced its partnership with Ubisoft to create action figures from the blockbuster Assassin s Creed series of video games. The Assassin s Creed series tells the story of a heroic order of Assassins, fighting a conspiracy that spans thousands of years. From the latest chapter of one of the biggest, most popular video game franchises ever, Assassin s Creed IV: Black Flag moves the action and adventure of the Assassin s Creed video game series to an all-new time and setting: the lawless Pirate Republic of the Caribbean. Fans will now be able to further immerse themselves in the pirate life with the new Assassin s Creed IV Hidden Blade and Gauntlet with bonus Skull Buckle role-play items! This life-size, role-play accessory lets fans wear the signature weapon of the heroic Assassins. Our all-NEW version of the Hidden Blade is based on the one worn by the main character, Edward Kenway, in the upcoming blockbuster Assassin s Creed IV: Black Flag. The Hidden Blade Gauntlet features a spring-loaded, retractable blade, with switchblade-style action, just as seen in the Assassin s Creed video game series! The Blade section attaches to bottom of forearm with Velcro straps; Gauntlet attaches to top of forearm with strap and buckle. As a an added bonus, this boxed item also includes an exclusive accessory: a replica of the skull-shaped buckle worn on Edward s bandolier. Since pistol bandoliers probably aren t part of your modern wardrobe, we ve turned the buckle into a more versatile clip-on pin. Show your allegiance to the Republic of Pirates by attaching your Skull Buckle to a shirt, belt, backpack, strap, or anything else that needs a dash of pirate style! Our plastic Skull Buckle features the rough, hand-forged appearance of 1700 s metalworking and is approximately three Inch wide.
