We're kiciking off the "Super Hero Times Review Week" with a review of Ultimate Mr. Fantastic #1 from Diamond Select Toys
Mr. Fantastic is the first of four new Ultimate Fantastic Four busts from Diamond Select Toys. This one was sculpted by Rocco Tartamella and is limited to 3000 pieces and retails for $50.00
Articulation

Sculpt
This is the first bust of any kind that I’ve held in my hand and I must say that this one is ..um…Fantastic!
The face is so life like it is kind of scary, from the teeth inside of this mouth to the extreme detail of his hairstyle. Reed is ready for battle with this fists clinched and arms out stretched.
Paint
The paint job is nearly flawless! The suit looks great with two shades of blue , grey piping and a vibrant 4 in the middle of this chest. What really stand out on this piece are the eyes. The deep blue color really makes them come alive.

Packaging
Packaging is a very important, as it should grab your attention. The outside of it is a bit misleading, it appears that a early mock up was used for the pictures and is dose not do justice to the finished product inside of it.
Inside of the box you will find a nice little surprise, the name “Mr. Fantastic” is etched into the styrofoam. I really like the little details like this.
Overall
After really looking at it, I must say I’m very impressed with it. The $50.00 price tag may be a little too much for some people, but if you can afford it, it is well worth the money. I’m looking forward to seeing the rest of Fantastic Four team from Diamond Select Toys.
I’ll give Reed a 9 out of 10
