Mezco Toyz has announced a line of seven-inch action figures based on Frank Miller’s upcoming movie adaptation of Will Eisner’s The Spirit. The five figures in the initial release include: The Spirit himself; the archvillain The Octopus; Pathos, one of his henchmen; and sexy villainesses Plaster of Paris and Sand Seref.
All figures come with eight or more points of articulation (The Spirit has 19), and accessories ranging from alternate hands and a pet cat for The Spirit and a hat for The Octopus, to weapons for all characters.
The five figures will retail for $18 apiece and will be in stores late in 2008 or early 2009. The movie will open on Christmas day (see "Lionsgate Gets the Christmas Spirit").
