It’s sure to be the most sought after item not just in Hot Toys history but all of action figuredom, so you’ll have to move fast if you want to get your hands on this bad boy as Sideshow has announced that pre-orders are now open for the Morbius Movie Masterpiece Series figure, delivering a sixth scale version of Jared Leto’s Dr. Michael Morbius in all of his Living Vampire glory from Sony’s Marvel bomb. Take a look at the promotional images here…
Dr. Michael Morbius is a biochemist who suffers from a rare genetic disorder and is almost hopeless in treating it. In true mad scientist fashion, he tries to cure himself using vampire bat blood and is healed… but inadvertently turns himself into a new being – a vampire with superhuman powers including enhanced agility, strength, and stamina.
Sideshow and Hot Toys are thrilled to present the highly-anticipated sixth scale collectible figure featuring Morbius inspired by the movie that shares the same title. The movie-accurate Mobius collectible figure is skillfully crafted based on Jared Leto’s image as Morbius from the movie, features a newly developed head sculpt with red eyes and sharp teeth capturing varying degrees of his grisly nature, meticulously tailored outfit including a long coat with fine details, highly-detailed swarm of bats to recreate the scene with Morbius summons the bats, several pieces of speeding effect parts, and a figure stand.
One of Marvel’s most compelling and conflicted characters comes to the big screen as Oscar winner Jared Leto transforms into the enigmatic antihero Michael Morbius. Dangerously ill with a rare blood disorder and determined to save others suffering his same fate, Dr. Morbius attempts a desperate gamble. While at first it seems to be a radical success, a darkness inside him is unleashed. Will good override evil – or will Morbius succumb to his mysterious new urges?
Morbius sees Daniel Espinosa (Safe House) directing a cast that includes Jared Leto (Suicide Squad), Adria Arjona (Pacific Rim Uprising), Matt Smith (Doctor Who), Jared Harris (The Terror), Michael Keaton (Spider-Man: Homecoming) and Tyrese Gibson (Fast & Furious).
