Marvel Minimates Series 47: X-Men vs. Brood
Mutants and humanity have had their differences, but they have a mutual enemy: the Brood! This interstellar race of parasites has preyed on men and X-Men alike, and this wave of At Asylum-designed Marvel Minimates includes three all-new comic-based two-packs: Rogue with Colossus, Longshot with Dazzler, and Wolverine with a Brood, plus a rare, one-per-case variant where Wolverine has been infected by a Brood egg! Each Minimate stands 2 inches tall with 14 points of articulation and a variety of removable and interchangeable parts and accessories. The figures in this assortment will only be available in comic shops and specialty stores, so don't miss out! Designed by Art Asylum!
Universal Monsters Select: Phantom of the Opera
The newest Universal Monsters figure from DST is from one of the oldest Universal Monsters films! From the 1923 version of Phantom of the Opera comes Lon Chaney as the Phantom, rendered by sculpting virtuoso Jean St. Jean! Standing 7 inches tall and fully articulated, the Phantom comes with a book of music and his organ accessory, and both the unmasked sculpt and the organ are exclusive to this version. It's like a piece of movie history you can put on your shelf! The Phantom and his organ come in display-ready collector packaging, and are only available on the specialty market!
