Hasbro Debuts New The Fantastic Four: First Steps H.E.R.B.I.E. Figure

Coming to life from The Fantastic Four: First Steps, H.E.R.B.I.E is here to help assist you in your scientific life with a new collectible 

H.E.R.B.I.E. is short for Humanoid Experimental Robot, B-type, Integrated Electronics, and has a quirky but meaningful place in Fantastic Four history. He was created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby with contributions from Roy Thomas. This robot was a little floating droid that debuted back in the 1978 Fantastic Four animated series after some legal restrictions prevented the use of the Human Torch. Though often dismissed as comic relief, H.E.R.B.I.E. made the leap into the comics with Fantastic Four #209 and proved himself a loyal ally, assistant, and sometimes even a hero to the Fantastic Four. 

H.E.R.B.I.E. is now making it to the big screen with The Fantastic Four: First Steps, with Hasbro also giving him his very own electronic figure. This 4" buddy is inspired by old school analog reel-to-reel tape machines, and he features moving eyes and 10+ sound FX. Hasbro also included rolling wheels to give him some speed, and he is ready to roll into your collection. The Fantastic Four: First Steps H.E.R.B.I.E. is priced at $19.99, pre-orders are already live with a Fall 2025 release.
