After almost 3 years in the making (we first caught sight of a proto way back at NYCC ’13!), the officially licensed Visible Man project from Unbox Industries will finally see it’s first release later this week! Based on 2000AD‘s fateful Frank Hart from early obscurity Visible Man, the series is set to feature a number of interpretations of the character, the first coming in the form of Skull Toys’ classic, 70’s styled design you see above. Essentially a toy within a toy, the 12″ tall figure features an internal hard vinyl body with a super-pliable “X-Ray” skin, both painstakingly produced using vintage toy-making techniques originally employed over 4 decades ago. Coming packed in a deluxe display box (prototype pictured), the absolutely breathtaking figure will be touching down in the Unbox Industries store this Saturday, February 6th for $225 plus shipping. We’ve been told that due to high production costs and failure rates, the figure will be extremely limited, so be sure to keep checking the store throughout the day to avid missing out!
