“It’s a thrill to be working on Invincible action figures for the new animated series,” said DST president Chuck Terceira. “The comic was groundbreaking, and the animated version should be unlike anything that has been seen before. It’s the perfect time to launch a toy line, and I think collectors will be very happy with the product we’ve developed.”

Today, Skybound Entertainment and Diamond Select Toys announced new Invicible action figures hitting stores in Summer 2021. From the Skybound/Image superhero comic book by Robert Kirkman, Cory Walker, and Ryan Ottley, the new line will feature Invincible and his father Omni-Man, each with interchangeable parts and accessories.

The figures will stand at seven inches, and each will come with a second angry head, multiple interchangeable hands, and baseball gloves. Invincible will come with a baseball and a Reanimen head, while Omni-Man will come with a chunk of concrete and a Flaxan arm. Each figure will feature approximately 18 points of articulation.

By the creator of The Walking Dead Robert Kirkman, the series is based on the Skybound/Image comic book written by Kirkman Cory Walker and Ryan Ottley. Invincible tells the life story of 17-year-old Mark Grayson (Steven Yeun), a teenager like any other except that his father, Omni-Man (J.K. Simmons), is the most powerful superhero on the planet. As Mark develops his own powers, he discovers that his father's legend may not be as heroic as he thought.

Invincible, Kirkman's second longest comic book, ended in February 2018, after 15 years.
