Description

The original turnaround art for the unproduced Visionaries "Cybro-Serpent" (AKA "Croil") figure. This art was done by comic book legend Neal Adams, which is pretty cool. Never had any Adams art before.

Visionaries was a 1987 action figure line from Hasbro. They were a little larger than the GI Joe line, and had an emphasis on holograms. Each figure had a hologram chest emblem (the flat area on the figure's chest in the art) as well as a "power staff" banner that they carried. The line was expensive though and wasn't really connected to anything else, so it died a relatively quick death. Work had already progressed on a second series of figures though, this one included, but none ever saw the light of day, sadly.

Me personally, I loved Visionaries. Got a Leoric (the leader of the good guys, the Spectral Knights) for Christmas in '87. I had absolutely no idea what the line was, but I thought it was super cool. Been a fan of the line ever since. So I'm thrilled to be able to add some original art from the line to my collection.

Very rarely seen toy designs and very rarely seen Neal Adams art since he didn't do sketchbooks until the 2000s.

Congrats! I saw this go up for sale and debated it as art seems to be nearly impossible to find but I'm glad it ended up with a true fan. I too had Leoric as my first and only figure for many years, so I have lots of love for this series too and felt that it didnt get a fair enough shake but that's the story of many 80's IP's. I was dissapointed in the IDW version, as soon as I saw they killed off Leoric and the original spectral knights I was out. Even if it never gets it's time to shine, we still have these gems and treasured memories to fall back on:)

Congratulations Tommy, I was the consignor of this piece to Comic Connect. I had bought it directly from Neal about a year ago, so you are one of the only people to ever own this piece. I'm glad it is going to a good home. Neal may still have a few other Visionaries designs available.

Thanks! I haven't been that nervous and excited about an auction in years. :) I'm a big fan of toy art and pre-production material in general, but Visionaries has always been one of my favorite lines. Such fun toys.

And Neal will already have an email waiting for him as 2022 begins... ;)
