Marvel Universe Mysterio Action Figure
This Mysterio 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.
Modifying his special effects talents to suit his new career as a supervillain, former-stuntman Mysterio utilizes an inexhaustible array of illusions and projections and hallucinatory vapors, enabling Mysterio to appear in duplicate or as one gigantic Mysterio, to bamboozle his primary adversary, Spider-Man. A succession of defeats at the hands of Spider-Man generates increased derangement on the part of Mysterio. Even as a member of the Sinister Six, a team of similarly frustrated supervillains defeated individually by Spider-Man, Mysterio fails to defeat his hated nemesis.
