New Product @ Forbiddenplanet.co.uk - Umbrella Academy Figures


Just added to Forbiddenplanet.co.uk are the Darkhorse Umbrella Academy Action figures. If you haven't read Umbrella Academy (created and written by My Chemical Romance lead singer Gerard Way) you really should. It's a graphic novel that stands out amongst a lot of others with such individualistic characters and stories you have to wonder what Gerard was on when it came into his head. Thank you to Tim who introduce me to Umbrella, something I may have completely missed had it not been for his recommendation.

These figures range in size from 2" to 5" tall and are perfect little recreations of the Hargreeves siblings. Packaged in a unique umbrella-topped dome cylinder case this release is a great collectors set and one I'll definitely be purchasing!

Only £26.99 which is 23% off the RRP!

It's also worth noting that Umbrella Academy has also been optioned by Universal Pictures to be turned into a motion picture. No details yet but it's sure to be one weird film...
