Superior Spider-Man Action Figure Headed to Disney Stores

As his story wends to a close over the next few months, Marvel Select announced today that the Superior Spider-Man will get a high-profile release as an action figure at The Disney Store.Starting this week, The Disney Store, DisneyStore.com and MarvelStore.com will offer a Marvel Select figure featuring a likeness of Otto Octavius, The Superior Spider-Man.Appearing in the monthly comics right now, Dr. Octopus tricked Spider-Man into trading bodies with him, leaving Peter Parker to apparently die in Doc Ock’s illness-ridden husk. Parker has continued to appear in the comic as an apparition in Ock’s head, though, and just in time for the release of May’s The Amazing Spider-Man 2, Pete will be back in the driver’s seat and Superior will give way to a new, relaunched Amazing Spider-Man comic book series.The 7-inch figure features 16 points of articulation and was sculpted by Sam Greenwell. It will come packaged with a detailed display base depicting the aftermath of a battle with the Sinister Six, and will arrive on store shelves in Marvel Select packaging with reference artwork of “SpOck” on the spine.”It’s a known fact that I’m a huge fan of Spider-Man,” said Diamond Select Toys President Chuck Terceira, “so the opportunity to make a new, more current Spider-Man figure for the Disney Store was a dream come true. Their support of the line makes great figures like this possible, and Sam really knocked this figure out of the park.”Fans can get the Superior Spider-Man online now, and in stores soon.
