They had me at "with Traffic Light and Mask." |
As is always the case, Doom came first.
This particular Dr. Doom acton figure (unbelievably this figure on ToyWiz.com goes for $34.99!) was manufactured by ToyBiz, and was among the Series 4 wave of figures released to tie-in with the film in 2005. Though the design deviates quite a bit from the many incarnation of Doom in the comic books, I like the attempt to update his look for the realistic world they were trying to create in the film. The fact that the "bonus" accessories are a mask and traffic light is also pretty amusing, but ultimately did not keep this beauty from being relegated to the cardboard box in my crawlspace, where it was returned following its photo shoot for this post.
With an intended reboot on the horizon, I'll get another crack a Doom figure in the future, though I may resist the impulse purchase urge this time.
