3.75" Marvel Universe Rhino Action Figure from Hasbro
This Rhino action figure features 20-points of articulation. As with Series 4, Series 5 did not include figure stands or secret file cards.
This fifth series of single carded figures featured new character art by Mike Deodato. The artwork at the bottom of the back of this version featured Troll.
There was no theme to this series and the packaging no longer included a comic cover artwork shot specific to each figure. In some instances (and for the first time), the promotional photos on the back of the packaging featured older figures rather than those in the current wave.
The Rhino is sculpted in his trademark densely-textured rhino-hide costume, complete with recurved ramming-horns. Transcending inauspicious beginnings as a garden variety hired thug, the Rhino is the test subject for a leathery skin of armor which affixes permanently to its wearer and provides the wearer with vastly augmented strength and durability. The Rhino’s monstrous power enables him to battle the Hulk on near-equal terms, and his (Rhino’s) near-imperviousness is such that Spider-Man has no choice but to defeat the Rhino by outsmarting and outmaneuvering him.
