Invincible's second season has wrapped and if you're not all caught up on what Atom Eve and the cast have been up to, don't panic, you'll find no spoilers here. You might find a few spoilers for plot points from season one though but since the first season ended almost three years ago, and you've clicked on an article based on a key moment from its finale, I'm assuming that won't be a problem. The brutal train scene from season one's epic finale has been turned into a Youtooz figure you can pre-order now.
The scene might be the most iconic in the show so far. In an attempt to make his son realize his vision and his role on Earth, Omni Man holds Invincible up in front of a speeding subway train. Since they're Viltrumites and not merely human beings, the train is no match for either of them and the pair's muscular frames cut through it like butter. That was the goal as Omni-Man leaves a trail of death and devastation in his wake, demonstrating to his son how frail human lives are compared to theirs.
The show pulls no punches, severed limbs and a sea of blood shown throughout this scene, and Youtooz's recreation of it echoes that. The backdrop of the figure shows what appears to be the severed head of an innocent bystander as well as a couple of arms sprinkled in for good measure. Not only are Omni-Man and Invincible's figures spattered with blood, but they're also standing in a pool of it as Omni-Man holds the hero in place, not even flinching as he murders tens of people without even moving.
Youtooz has turned the iconic and brutal train scene from Invincible's season one finale into a collectible figure. The figure shows Omni-Man holding up his superhero son as they plow through a subway train, killing people as they go as demonstrated by the limbs and blood flying around them.
The link to the store page for the unique Youtooz figure can be found in the box above, but you won't be able to place a pre-order for the collectible until April 30. Priced at $39.99, the figure is expected to ship between September 20 and October 20. Much like Pokemon's Kanto Starter Deluxe Pop!, Youtooz's Invincible figure is one big thing rather than individual pieces that come together to recreate one of the most shocking scenes shown on TV in recent history.
If you'd like some individual Invincible characters to dot around your Youtooz centerpiece, the show got its first Funko Pops recently. Invincible and Omni-Man even have bloody variants that pair perfectly with the train scene figure. Funko also had the honor of turning the Think Mark moment that takes place shortly after the train scene where a defeated Invincible is thrown down as Omni-Man makes one last desperate plea to make him understand their purpose.
