Awesome Toy Picks: Atrocitus (Signature Collection)

A cool collectible you'll want to add to your collection.

Welcome back to Awesome Toy Picks. We all love comic book collectibles and each week we take a close look at some of the cooler ones.

This week's is Atrocitus from the Matty Collector Club Infinite Earths collection. He was released in June and pretty much sold out right away. That means when these figures come out, you either need to have had a subscription or try to grab immediately. I'm sure they'll pop up online.

I always love getting figures from Matty Collector. The packaging usually has an elegant feel to it and I really like the plain white box the figures come in.

It's kind of surprising that this figure would be available in small quantities. There was one in the Blackest Night series but I think I like his head sculpt better here. I don't own that version but it'd be interesting to compare the two.

Here's some shots of the packaging.

The real question is, what does the figure look like out of the box? Of course some of Atrocitus' friends will be stopping by.

That's it for this week. If you have a regular Atrocitus, how does it compare to this? We'll have another edition of Awesome Toy Picks next week.

Tony Guerrero is the Editor-in-Chief of Comic Vine. You can follow him on Twitter @GManFromHeck. He wonders if they'll ever make an Atrocitus figure with a red power vomit accessory.

I think its lame that he can't hold his lantern IN his hands. I hate it when DC does this to the lantern figures.

I own the other one, it's a lot more menacing and detailed but it has less articulation.

This is a great figure, I really love the Signature Series, guys if you are interested in this series Mattel have just opened up subscriptions for 2013 here (open until 8/6):

They have some awesome figures lined up like Saint Walker, Phantom Stranger, Elongated Man, Monsieur Mallah, Larfleeze and Wally West, some of them were revealed at SDCC which you can see pics of here:

L...M..A..O... nicely done.

You know G-Man purposely staged it and we thank him for it.

Wonder what user thinks of this.

Sinestro's thought: "That's right, do it, smell it...SMELL MY FINGER YOU FILTH!"

::Atrocitus's cheeks begin to bulge as he thinks:: "That's the most vile smell ever...I think I may actually wretch napalm for the first time out of sheer disgust than rage!"

Atrocitus's and Red Skull's heads could be interchangeable.

Totally agree. I think it really adds something when they're able to hold their accessories

His teeth (and mouth) are too wide and huge and chompy, quite different from the graphic on the packaging. Does his mouth ever close?

Although I have a regular Atrocitus, that I haven't put on display in a year, I'm not sure how it stacks up to this one.

@kfhrfdu_89_76k: Yeah, I could definitely go for at attachment for that or something.
