They were a very unexpected addition to the Fantastic Four movie series from Toy Biz, but unfortunately, they were obscenely short-packed and were notoriously hard to find. As a huge Fantastic Four fan, I spent SOOO much money on gas during the spring and summer of 2006 trying to add at least one of these, as well as Dragon Man, Kang, and Invisible Woman (from Wave 2 of the Fantastic Four Classics line), to my collection.
Personally, I can't stand the design of that Doombot. If memory serves, it was based on the Doombots in the F4 game (which was based on the awful '05 movie). I would have loved to have found one in stores all those years ago, but presently, I couldn't imagine paying so much for a figure based on a bad design from a bad video game, which was based on a terrible movie, no matter how much I love the F4 comic, lol !
