Mezco presents The Spirit movie action figures, based on the upcoming

big budget December 2008 film, a sinister gut wrenching tale of a hero

born, murdered and born again. Written and directed by

genre-twister Frank Miller.

This first series contains 5 dynamic figures, plus indeterminate variants on the Henchman figure (Pathos -- shown -- is just one version of the Octopus Henchman figure that will be available):

The Spirit - The resurrected, masked vigilante sports more than

19 points of articulation, and comes with alternate fighting hands,

a crowbar, manhole cover, and one of his many pet cats.

The Octopus - This evil mastermind features over 13 points of

articulation. Includes two big guns, a massive wrench, alternate

hands and a removable hat.

Plaster Of Paris - This sultry villainess features 9 points of

articulation, and comes with a short sword, alternate hand with

mini daggers and display base.

Sand Seref - A jewel thief with dangerous curves features

13 points of articulation. Also included is her pistol and a trunk.

Pathos - One of the Octopus' thugs, this henchman features 8 points

of articulation, a machine gun and alternate hand.

These hit retail just before the movie does (in time for the

film's Christmas Day release).
