For years, he’s been sidelined in less-than-stellar live-action adaptations. But now, Marvel Comics’ greatest villain of all time, Doctor Doom, is about to get his due in Avengers: Doomsday. But before Robert Downey Jr. puts on the iconic metal mask of Victor Von Doom in the MCU, you might want to honor the original Jack Kirby/Stan Lee version. And soon you can, with the new Marvel Legends Doctor Doom Premium Roleplay Helmet from Hasbro. (Thanos is so yesterday’s news.) You can check out several images of this incredible replica of the Latverian monarch’s helmet in our gallery below:
Here’s the official description for the Marvel Legends Doctor Doom helmet from the folks at Hasbro:
Hasbro Marvel Legends proudly presents this 1:1 scale reproduction of Doctor Doom’s classic helmet! Roleplay helmet with premium design and deco is inspired by the character’s signature look in Marvel Comics. Marvel roleplay set comes with a green fabric hood inspired by Doctor Doom’s signature robe. Includes a stand and is great for displaying in fans’ collections or wearing with a Doctor Doom Halloween costume or Marvel cosplay. Imagine pitting the brilliant mind of Victor Von Doom against Reed Richards and the Fantastic Four! Bring comics-inspired scenes to life with Marvel Legends action figures, roleplay gear, and collectibles (each sold separately, subject to availability).
This reproduction truly evokes Jack Kirby’s original design for Doctor Doom, as portrayed in the pages of Fantastic Four. It’s perfect for display, but thankfully it’s high quality enough to use for some excellent Latverian cosplay. You’ll put this on and instantly want to remind that cursed Reed Richards who is truly the smartest man on Earth. Priced at $99.99, pre-orders for the Marvel Legends Doctor Doom Roleplay helmet begin on March 6 at 1PM ET at Entertainment Earth and Amazon. This is one collectible Marvel Legends fans won’t want to miss out on.
