Description: A vintage 1992 Marvel Comics Group OFFICIALLY LICENSED TOY BIZ ORIGINAL CASE FRESH JUST UNPACKED IN-HOUSE AUCTIONED, HAND-CRAFTED, HAND-PAINTED AND CASTED 2-UP X-LARGE SIZED 9" X 6" MARVEL COMICS SUPER-HEROES THE FANTASTIC FOUR INVISIBLE WOMAN STUNNING "PAINT MASTER" SCULPTED BY STEVE KIWUS FOR THE INITIAL TOY BIZ MARVEL SUPER HEROES LINE RELEASED IN 1992. IT INCLUDES AN INCREDIBLE BASE AND 9 DISTINCT POINTS OF ARTICULATION. WHAT MAKES THIS PIECE EVEN MORE UNIQUE, SCARCE, AND INCREDIBLY SOUGHT-AFTER, IS THE FACT THAT THE MASS-PRODUCED INVISIBLE WOMAN FOR WHICH THIS PROTOTYPE WAS CREATED, WAS QUICKLY RECALLED BECAUSE OF IT'S "VANISHING COLOR" DEFECT WHICH CAUSED THE PAINT OF THE INITIALLY RELEASED FIGURE TO QUICKLY FADE AND NOT RETURN BACK TO NORMAL. THIS IS A NO B.S., COMPLETELY DOCUMENTED, (OF WHICH ALL ORIGINAL DOCUMENTATION AND SHIPPING MATERIALS ARE INCLUDED WITH PURCHASE) TRULY A ONE-OF-A-KIND, 1/1, MARVEL MASTERPIECE ORIGINAL PROTOTYPE WORK OF ART, AND A PIECE OF MARVEL COMICS/TOY BIZ RAREST OF RARE COLLECTIBLE HISTORY. I PROMISE YOU ANOTHER DOES NOT EXIST ACCORDING TO ALL ACCOMPANYING ORIGINAL COMPANY DOCUMENTATION AND PROVENANCE AS SENT FROM THE OFFICIAL TOY BIZ CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS, DOCUMENTED IN ALL CORRESPONDENCE FROM 1997. THIS PIECE WAS ADVERTISED EXCLUSIVELY FOR THE ONE-OFF 1997 TOY BIZ IN HOUSE AUCTION, WHICH SINCE IT WAS BASICALLY PRE-INTERNET, WAS ONLY PUBLICIZED IN TRADE AND TOY MAGAZINES OF THE PERIOD, AND GENERALLY FLEW UNDER MOST COLLECTORS' RADARS. THE AUCTION MATERIALS INCLUDED ARE THEMSELVES AN EXCEPTIONAL RARITY (EXACTLY AS SHOWN IN PHOTOS, PLEASE EXAMINE CAREFULLY, YOU BE THE JUDGE OF EACH AND EVERY INCH AS PHOTOGRAPHED). ALSO INCLUDED, IS A RARE EXAMPLE OF THE ORIGINAL RELEASED, AND SHORTLY THEREAFTER RECALLED INVISIBLE WOMAN ACTION FIGURE FOR WHICH THIS 2-UP FACTORY REFERENCED "PAINT MASTER" WAS CREATED. PRISTINE. BOTH LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND AND ESPECIALLY WELL-PRESERVED, THIS IS A TRULY UNIQUE/ONE-OF-A-KIND MARVEL MASTERPIECE AND COLLECTING OPPORTUNITY! IT WOULD BE A STRIKING CENTERPIECE FOR ANY SERIOUS/INVESTMENT GRADE COMIC BOOK/MARVEL/FANTASTIC FOUR/SUPER HERO TOY COLLECTION. Any questions never hesitate to contact me. AS ALWAYS, THANKS FOR LOOKING...
