Today, Diamond Select Toys is shipping their latest 7-inch Marvel Select action figure, the teleporting German acrobat Nightcrawler, to comic shops and specialty stores across the U.S., and it is unglaublich! (That's German for "Incredible.") With 16 points of articulation, he can strike all sorts of dynamic poses, and a wire-poseable tail allows him to hang from the nearest Danger Room obstacle. The figure comes packaged with a purple teleportation base in the Select line's shelf-friendly display packaging. And it will look amazing crouching alongside the rest of your Select X-Men, (bleep) wahr? Check out some action photos below, and pick one up today!
