NEWS: Marvel Universe's Electro Clear Variant

As fans of the Marvel Universe line may know, Hasbro frequently re-issues some of its earlier figures along with its newer releases. And occasionally - such as with the Ms Marvel or Warpath revisions - these new figures will feature some minor re-tooling, new paintwork or even new body parts.

Such is the case with Electro, the latest figure to get the running change treatment. The ''new'' Electro - unlike the original - now features semi-transparent limbs, as you can see in the above image and in this gallery from Cool Toy Review.

Expect to see this new Electro on shelves soon.

In the world of comicbooks, there's one hero with a Rogues' Gallery that's head and shoulders above every other comic character: Spider-Man. Which brings us to today's offering: Marvel Universe's Electro.
