Toy Review – Hot Toys Mantis Sixth Scale Figure
The Mantis figure has been a particularly long awaited one. After all, this is a character introduced into the MCU seven years ago in 2017’s Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and who first had a Hot Toys figure teased with a prototype on display way back at Comic-Con 2019 – except at that point, she was going to be part of the Avengers: Endgame line. So after all this time, was she worth the wait? Eric says “absolutely, as this is a really cool figure that is a terrific representation of her onscreen counterpart, albeit with some quibbles.”
We’re up to Week 3 of Hasbro’s Star Wars: Gift the Galaxy announcements for the 2024 holiday season, and this time the popular toy company has revealed a new action figure 2-pack coming to The Black Series from the Star Wars: The Clone Wars animated series.
