Hot Toys announces the launch of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s Black Adam, the hottest movie that gave him the biggest domestic box office opening of his career. This 1/6th Scale Figurine displays the lifelikeness of the former WWE superstar as the DC Comics antihero
with the figurine consisting of 30 points of articulation, allowing it to be moved into a variety of different poses.
The deluxe version of the golden-armored Black Adam has a newly developed head sculpt with separate rolling eyeballs features and six pieces of interchangeable hands, which are a pair of fists, a pair of relaxed hands, and a pair of gestured hands. The suit showcases the
muscular outline of the costume with intricate detail to the texture and design that is portrayed in the film with the outfit having added the gold accent and LED illuminated lightning emblem. In addition, the figurine comes with two gradient yellow colored lightning effect accessories with one being able to attach to the forearms and one being able to attach to the upper body.
The figurine will be available in 2023 from Hot Toys.
