Muttpop unveils a peek @ their Dr. Destruction Original prototype vinyl figure (last seen as a proto-sculpt @ SDCC via / image-right) - in a different color-scheme than his comicbook appearance ... tentatively slated for a year-end-drop (hopefully in time for the hols) Dr. Destruction comes with a removable cape, cigarette (with holder) and cane [click here for full image]

“From Les Champs Élysées to East Los Angeles… Dr. Destruction is the leader of LES FORMIDABLES, the first genuine group of French superheroes. His heroic intentions are mainly cultural: Dr. Destruction is appalled with the peasant-like ways of Americans and came to East LA to teach them the rudiments of “Les Bonnes Manières.” He drives the pride of the French automotive industry: a 1979 Citroën CX Présidentielle:  2.5 tons of solid Parisian iron with the power of 75 horses, fueled by the  purest of diesel. Some people suspect that Dr. Destruction isn’t really French. While it is true that he has no qualms sipping American brewed coffee, his reputation as a flip-flopping back-stabbing surrenderer cements his Country of origin. His skull adorned cane hides a sharp blade that, he claims, killed the fifth member of LES FORMIDABLES: the one who mocked Jerry Lewis. Destruction uses this very same blade every morning to spread brie on his baguette.” [via]
