The Avengers: Infinity War toys have provided some early looks at the villains in the film, and thanks to Funko we have one more to add to the list.

Some fans noticed the presence of a new enemy in the Infinity War trailer, specifically in the Wakanda battle scene, which featured Captain America fighting a multi-armed alien. That was thought to be an Outrider, and the new Blind Box Minis from Funko seem to confirm this.

The Blind Box packaging features images of all of the included figures, and there is a six-armed alien on the bottom row that certainly looks like the creature in the scene. There was also some leaked promo art that matches the overall look too, so it seems it is, in fact, an Outrider.

As you can see, the figure will be a bit rarer than most of the others with a 1/36 chance to pull. The only other ones rarer than that are Spider-Man, Doctor Strange and Cull Obsidian. You can check out the two images above and below.

Outriders were created by Corvus Glaive in the comics, a member of Thanos' Black Order. They essentially are the Black Order's minions, bred for one simple purpose...destruction. Here's how Corvus himself describes them.

"Outriders are not born, they are made. A genetically engineered parasite-assassin solely devoted to the whims of its maker. These creatures have no names, just a binary existence defined by whether they complete the task given to them, or whether they fail."

Outriders are more powerful than the last invading force, the Chitauri. In the comics, Outriders have the power of telepathy, invisibility, intangibility, and flight, and in numbers would pose a threat to the Avengers on their own, nonetheless backed up with the rest of Thanos' Black Order.

Fans can see them in action when Avengers: Infinity War lands in theaters on May 4.
