Raving Toy Maniac

February 6th 2014: Continuing our range of unique licensed DOOM® plushes, today we're happy to launch our second installment – the ORIGINAL Space Marine. Adorably stylised and armed with his reliable Plasma Gun, he'll fit in perfectly amongst the DOOM Demon plushes we released last year.

Just like our Pain Elemental and Cacodemon plushes, the Space Marine is made from high-quality cloth materials, blending the perfect mix of cool and cute that DOOM fans will love. He's made to stand just under a foot tall at 11".

The DOOM Space Marine is in stock right now and available to purchase direct from our website here.
