Growing up, The Blot was a huge fan of the New Mutants, especially Cannonball and Sunspot. While Sunspot never became a major X-Men character, he was always a part of the larger X-Men / New Mutants universe. So I was really pumped to learn that Roberto Da Costa would become a main character on the new Disney+ animated series, X-Men ’97, a spin off of the iconic 1990s X-Men: The Animated Series. Not only that, but with Bobby’s appearance in the streaming series he's now also getting a statue in Diamond Select Toys’ awesome line of X-Men: The Animated Series Mini Busts!
This release depicts Sunspot, the solar energy absorbing mutant, in full-powered mode, with jet-black skin and black and yellow balls of energy, atop a pedestal base that will fit in with your existing XM:TAS collection. Limited to only 2,000 pieces, this 1/7 scale bust comes packaged in a full-color box with a numbered certificate of authenticity. The X-Men ’97 Sunspot Animated Mini Bust by Diamond Select Toys can be pre-ordered now at Entertainment Earth for $89.99 here.
