-McFarlane Toys-
The Todd train keeps on rolling as McFarlane continues to revisit many of their classic figures with modern updates and reimagining.

For the even more depraved there is also Cygor, an enormous, gruesome cyborg gorilla. Cygor is the result of an experiment intended to be an 80/20 split between human and ape, but his creator accidentally made him %80 gorilla and %20 human! This unfathomable creature is being brought to life again as a ‘Megafig’ with imposing size and sculpted detail for days, while boasting McFarlane’s 22 point articulation. Secure your pre-order for this ludicrous monstrosity now for a highly anticipated release in January 2022.
