Fantastic Four and Foundation Marvel Minimates Series 48

Art Asylum revealed that Marvel Minimates Series 48 will consist of characters from the Fantastic Four and Fantastic Foundation.

With fallen Fantastic Four member the Human Torch recently discovered alive and relatively well in the Negative Zone, Diamond Select Toys has decided to celebrate by making Marvel Minimates Series 48 their most fantastic assortment yet! Available only at comic shops and specialty stores, this series will feature three two-packs, plus one rare variant two-pack that will only be available one per case. With core FF members, old villains and a key supporting character, this will be one series of Minimates no FF fan should miss!

Mr. Fantastic and the Puppet Master

Team leader Reed Richards comes with an classic FF foe, the conveniently named Phillip Masters. Wearing his John Byrne-designed uniform, Mr. Fantastic will sport a new stretching neck, stretching fist and a grabbing arm. Meanwhile, Masters will come with his distinctive apron… as well as miniscule Minimate puppets that he can manipulate, to control the actions of his foes!

“Flame On” Human Torch and Blastaar

Johnny Storm, the hot-headed member of the Fantastic Four, has been captured in mid-combustion, and comes with a new flame-swirl display base. Once he flames on, he’ll be ready to go into battle with one of the Negative Zone’s most lethal residents: Blastaar, the Living Bomb-Burst! Blastaar has the ability to create concussive blasts from his hands, and will sport new blasting hand covers to simulate his power.

The Invisible Woman and a Moloid

The most powerful member of the Fantastic Four, according to some, Susan Richards includes opaque and partially translucent limbs to simulate her invisibility, a new clear display base to simulate her force field powers, and an alternate hairpiece to show off her ever-changing hairstyles! She’ll need everything she has to hold off an army of Moloids, dispatched by the Mole Man to conquer the surface world — unless these are the Moloids she makes sandwiches for as part of the Future Foundation.

Alicia Masters and a Moloid

Buying multiple Moloids need not leave you with an arsenal of Invisible Women — the variant two-pack in this wave pairs a Moloid with Alicia Masters, the blind sculptress! She loves Ben Grimm for his inner nobility and hated her step-father the Puppet Master for manipulating the man she loved, and she even comes with a sculpture of her own — a bust of the Thing!

Each Minimate stands 2 inches tall with 14 points of articulation. This assortment is only available at comic shops and specialty stores, so pre-order today!
