You think Spider-Man's well-represented in the action figure realm? Check out my boy M.O.D.O.K. He has...uh...three figures. Well, four, now that we're announcing the latest plastic M.O.D.O.K. masterpiece. But we'll get to that in a bit.
Okay, so maybe M.O.D.O.K. doesn't quite have Spidey's draw, nor the web-slinger's number of figures, but he makes up for it in quality! Behold M.O.D.O.K.'s toy gallery and the first look, world premiere of the Marvel Super Hero Squad M.O.D.O.C. toy!

Beta Ray Bill comes with the hover base, Captain Marvel comes with the control panel, The Wasp comes with the legs, Moon Knight comes with the left arm.
