3.75-Inch Marvel Universe Silver Surfer Figure
This Silver Surfer action figure features 20-points of articulation. As with Series 4, Series 5 did not include figure stands or secret file cards. The 2013 Series 1 (Wave 22) Silver Surfer figure is a repack of the Wave 1 Silver Surfer Figure.
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.
Norrin Radd agrees to become the herald of the planet-devouring Galactus as a means of preserving his homeworld of Zenn-La. Eventually the Surfer arrives on Earth to herald Galactus’ presence, and unexpectedly develops sympathy for mankind which ultimately causes him to side with the Fantastic Four against Galactus. Galactus agrees to spare Earth, however his displeasure with the Silver Surfer prompts him to partially de-power the Surfer and restrict the Surfer to Earth’s atmosphere, preventing the Surfer from returning to Zenn-La.
