Evildoers, Beware! The Longbox Heroes Prestige 1:12 The Tick Has Arrived!
SPOON! The big blue beacon of justice has officially leaped off the comic book pages and onto our collector shelves. Fans of Ben Edlund’s legendary indie comic hero are celebrating as the highly anticipated Longbox Heroes Prestige 1/12 Scale The Tick action figure from BigBadWorkshop is officially shipping and arriving in collectors' hands!
If you grew up watching the classic animated series, reading the independent comics, or loving the live-action adaptations, this premium 6-inch scale figure is the definitive version of the character we have been waiting decades to see.
The standard edition is fully stocked and shipping right now from BigBadToyStore, while lucky attendees at San Diego Comic-Con just caught a glimpse of a rare Radioactive Variant version shared on Instagram that comes packed in a hazardous waste canister with real slime!
Vibrant, Screen-Accurate Sculpting
Historically, older figures of The Tick suffered from awkward proportions or lacked articulation. BigBadWorkshop has completely corrected this by providing a clean, vibrant aesthetic that matches his over-the-top heroism.
According to breakdown video overviews highlighted on ToyNewsI, the design features a matte, heavily saturated blue paint application without any unnecessary molded textures. This gives it a clean, beautifully stylized look that makes it pop right out of a comic block panel.
Premium, Pinless Import-Style Articulation
Don't let his bulky mass fool you—this big guy is incredibly nimble. Toy reviewers putting the figure through its paces have confirmed that the joint engineering is top-tier:
- Pinless Construction: The elbows and knees utilize modern double-jointed, pinless engineering for a smooth look.
- Floating Butterfly Shoulders: Specialized shoulder cutouts allow The Tick to cross his arms or strike dynamic heroic poses without leaving massive gaps in the sculpt.
- Toe and Waist Swivels: Includes extensive ball joints at the waist and full toe articulation, allowing him to stand firmly while battling rogue household appliances.
Packed with Iconic Heroic Accessories
What is an absurd superhero without his signature tools? The premium box set comes loaded with a great mix-and-match layout of swappable components to customize your display:
- Two Alternate Head Sculpts: Switch between a classic determined grin and an over-the-top, jaw-dropped expression.
- Interchangeable Hands: Includes closed fists and open posing hands.
- The Crimefinder: His trusty, completely useless piece of cardboard crime-tracking equipment.
- The Signature Necktie: A hilarious inclusion for fans of his undercover corporate look.
The standard version retails for $45.00 USD, making it an affordable, high-quality centerpiece for any independent comic display shelf.
