Marvel X-Men the Movie X Mutations Toad Figures (Classic Toad & Movie Toad)

Does the camera really add 10 pounds? Nothing could be further from the truth for the villainous mutant known as Toad. Somewhere between his first comic-book appearance in 1964's Uncanny X-Men #4 and his big-screen debut in X-Men The Movie, the amphibious ne'er-do-well slimmed down and snagged hip urban duds worthy of the boys from 'N Sync. This double-pack from Toy Biz gives you both of Toad's incarnations in 9-inch-tall action-figure form: the original portly, fat-lipped villain in a court-jester-type outfit, and the more stylized movie version (played by Ray "Darth Maul" Park). Both figures are fully articulated, with movement at the ankles, knees, hips, shoulders, elbows, wrists, and neck. Their well-stitched fabric outfits come with multiple Velcro clasps, and both figures show above-average detailing, especially on the heads. A bonus for collectors: The two-pack comes in a limited run (15,000 total) and the packaging provides good views of the figures without even being opened. --Paul Hughes
