Spy Monkey Creations Shield of Destruction and Shield of Deliverance
Spy Monkey Creations has given us an early look at their Shield of Destruction and Shield of Deliverance, which are available starting today.

The colors and deco match certain characters of MOTUC, and the design/look of the shields perfectly blend with the figures.
