The superhero genre has been alive since the 60s, so it is only relevant that spoof heroes have been created. One of them was The Tick, which debuted in the New England Comics newsletter back in 1986 and was created by Ben Edlund. He was initially a spoof of classic superheroes, featuring The Tick as an absurdly strong yet dim-witted hero clad in an oversized blue bug suit with antennae. His adventures are filled with chaotic humor, over the top heroics, and a bizarre cast of villains like Multiple Santa, Breadmaster, and Chairface Chippendale. The Tick would soon become the very spoof he was after his mainstream success through the amazing 1994 animated series.

Well, The Tick is back and better than ever as Fresh Monkey Fiction and Big Bad Workshop debut their latest figure. Unlike their ongoing 3.75" line, a new Longbox Heroes Prestige series is here, bringing these underdog comic book heroes to life and now on a 6" scale. The big blue beacon of justice is back with an impressive figure with three swappable heads, a crime fighter, swappable hands, and a necktie. This fully articulated hero is ready to save the day once again for $39.99, and pre-orders are already live with a Q3 2026 release.
