Marvel Universe Unfinished Business: Armadillo
The very first release of the Marvel Universe Unfinished
Business series of 5" scaled figures (as seen way back in CustomCon 8)
included Captain America. From series 4 (as seen in CustomCon 11), we got
a six-pack of the Captain's greatest opponents. But what of one of the
more remarkable foes in his rogue's gallery, the Awesome Armadillo?
For CustomCon 18, that oversight in figure selection is finally rectified with a
deluxe boxed figure of this long demanded character.

Captain America
#308, Armadillos 1st appearance |
Seeking to cure his wife of a unknown illness, Antonio
Rodriguez became a test subject for criminal scientist Dr. Karl Malus, who
transformed him into the super strong and tough Armadillo. His first
appearance was in Captain America #308; since his introduction he has been a
super villain, wrestler, a registered hero with the Texas Rangers as part of the
Avengers: Fifty States Initiative and most recently a member of Modok's
11, a gang organized by MODOK for a dangerous heist.
The Armadillo figure stands 6.5" inches tall and has 5 points
of articulation.
