Avengers fans, assemble! Samsung today announced the limited-edition Iron Man Galaxy S6 Edge smartphone.

Samsung tweeted a photo of the upcoming handset's box earlier this month. Now, more details have been revealed—like the red-and-gold metal shell and matching arc reactor-like wireless charger, 64GB of storage, and clear back cover.

But don't go cracking open your piggy bank any time soon: The limited-edition superhero-themed smartphone, created in collaboration with Marvel, will only be available in Korea (starting tomorrow), as well as China and Hong Kong in June.

Prices were not announced, and vary by country and carrier.

"The limited-edition Iron Man Galaxy S6 Edge embodies the power of the iconic Avenger with a dual-curved edge design and advanced features that will provide Marvel fans with the ultimate entertainment experience," Younghee Lee, executive vice president of Samsung's mobile division, said in a statement.

Samsung and Marvel last summer announced a global brand partnership as part of the unveiling of the new Galaxy Tab S tablet lineup. But until now, all it has yielded is a few months' access to the Marvel Unlimited mobile comics app.

Can't make the trip to Asia for the limited-edition Iron Man device? Don't hulk out: Samsung is giving anyone with a GS6 smartphone the chance to be an Avenger, too.

Interact with the "Battle for the Avengers Tower" 360-degree video on your phone. Or, if you already own a Gear VR, download your super power from the Oculus VR Store, strap on the headset, and start kicking butt.

A cheaper option is to download Earth's Mightiest Heroes as wallpaper, lock screens, and icons—available on the GS 6 and 6 Edge until July 31; or purchase the Galaxy S6 online to get a complimentary Avengers accessory kit.

Samsung released its next-generation flagship phones earlier this year. For more, see PCMag's reviews of the Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge, and the slideshow above.
