Villainous Action Figures

Mezco Toyz Designed a Uniquely Customizable Green Goblin Action Figure

— May 30, 2022 — Life-Stages
Spider-Man’s antagonist Green Goblin is receiving an action figure designed by Mezco Toyz. The figure is 6.5 inches tall and includes five head portraits with varying facial expressions, and two Norman Osborne heads without the mask. The figure also comes with 12 interchangeable hands in different positions (i.e., fists, pointing hands, holding hands, etc.).

Green Goblin arrives with a green and pink fitted bodysuit, tunic, and a satchel bag for bombs. Accessories like a pair of wings, thruster, and Goblin masks are also available to customize the villain. Green Goblin sits upon a One:12 Collective base for easy displaying.

The ‘Spider-Man Green Goblin Deluxe Edition One:12 Collective Action Figure’ is available for pre-order now and will be available in February 2023 on Entertainment Earth.
