Mysterio (Marvel Legends Series)


Disgruntled special effects artist Quentin Beck takes revenge by framing Spider-man for a museum robbery only for his criminal scheme to be revealed by our friendly neighbourhood web-slinger. Mysterio is probably one of the goofiest looking villains Spidey has faced but he's got that Ditko charm that's endeared him to many a Marvel fanatic.


I really really wanted this figure and managed to track him down online for probably way too much money but that'll be forgotten as he takes a place of prominence in my display. I love Ditko's art and this figure is positively oozing with Ditko hallmarks and a hint of Lovecraftian horror.





Fishbowl, check!

Quilty bodysuit, check!

Bizarre accent designs, check!


Gorgeous Dikto-y gloves.

The fingers on this hand are kind of wonky but less noticeable from the right angle.









Such a delicious pattern on the inside of the cape.


Awesomely creepy head under the ol' fishbowl.

I really had to turn down the light to get the details to show up in the photo.


Those tentacles look amazing though!



The grid lines are very well done.




GAH! So spooky!

These translucent green smoke effects for Mysterio's feet are also really great looking.








Don't call up what you can't put down.


He's got the razzle dazzle!











"FWOOSH!"


"To your evil scheme I say Mysteri-NO!"

"...Really Web-head? That's the best quip you've got?"

"Time for a SUPERIOR comeback, courtesy of the Superior Spider-Man!"

"..."
"Oh dear..."


Sneak peak at some more Sinister Spider-Foes you'll be seeing eventually.




"Darn it! You zoomed out too far and ruined the illusion!"


So...awesome...
