MARVEL SELECT JUGGERNAUT

The Juggernaut  is a character from the Marvel universe. He debuted in X-Men #12 released on July 1965. He was created by the famous writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby.

Cain Marko was the stepbrother of the famous Professor Charles Xavier. Before turning into the Juggernaut, Marko was a soldier stationed in Korea. It is here that Cain Marko found a ruby with an inscription. After reading the verse the gem gave Marko its powers, turning him into the Juggernaut.

This guy is huge and heavy but has good balance and can stand on its own.
For a figure this big I can say that the articulation provided by Marvel Select was pretty good.

The articulation of this figure is almost similar to its Marvel Legends counter part.

Here is how the Juggernaut looked in the X-men movies.
Actor Vinnie Jones played the part of Cain Marko.

The figure came with a card for its background.
Aside from this there is no other accessories for the Juggernaut.
