A superb representation of the Master of the Mystic Arts was created by ToyBiz quite a while ago as part of the Spider-Man line. The articulation and sculpt were very well done, but there are still a few other touches it could have used.
First, how about increasing the size to 7" rather then 5". I love the 7" scale since it gives you better detail for sculpting and painting but doesn't create a figure which is getting to be too large to deal with. The articulation on the original figure was wonderful... although it didn't have elbows for some reason. Oh well.
The accessories, though, could use a bit more oomph. The original piece came with a very bizarre looking orange globe with what I assume was a demon inside. Instead, why not give the doctor a scale version of the Orb of Agamotto, and let's have it light-up? Doc should also have a copy of the Book of the Vishanit around. The cape on the original figure was perfect; nice and large, to the point you could almost wrap the figure in the cape. However, let's add a removable Eye of Agamatto to the cape.
Finally, what would Dr. Strange be without Wong, his faithful assistant? Time for a two-pack, folks.
