Summary
The Previews Exclusive Defenders Doctor Strange figure features the character in his distinctive Defenders outfit with black robes and crimson detailing, differentiating it from prior versions with a unique all-plastic overlay material that adds a comic book stylized texture. It includes an intricately sculpted, opening Orb of Agamotto accessory and two uniquely colored magical effect parts. Despite reusing the previous head sculpt and body mold, this figure stands out for its different costume design and exclusive accessories, though it lacks the cape magnets found on earlier versions and has limited arm articulation.
