Invisible Woman
TB-MSH-S3-4836
Invisible Woman presented Toy Biz with an obvious design challenge: how do you make an
action figure of a character whose power is not being seen? Their solution was vanishing
color plastic — the figure’s body is cast in a semi-translucent material that shifts
appearance depending on the light, simulating partial invisibility.
It’s a clever workaround that works better in practice than it sounds on paper. Sue Storm’s
classic blue-and-white Fantastic Four costume is present in the sculpt, but the translucent
quality of the plastic gives the figure a ghostly, half-there quality that’s genuinely
distinctive on a shelf.
As the only female figure in the Series 3 wave, Invisible Woman rounds out the Fantastic
Four team alongside Human Torch, Mr. Fantastic, and Thing. Complete team displays were
immediately popular with collectors who’d been waiting for all four since the Fantastic
Four characters started appearing in Series 3.
