The Marvel Legends Mobius was the 2nd figure to be released from the Loki Disney+ series following on from Loki in the Summer 2021 Disney+ wave. Mobius uses the same packaging design and artwork as Loki, but is himself an Exclusive. He was released in late September 2021 in the UK as a Fan Channel Exclusive, and as of the start of October, he will head into Target stores in the US.
"Mobius M. Mobius is an Agent for the Time Variance authority who specializes in the investigations of particularly dangerous time criminals"
Mobius features a brand new Owen Wilson head sculpt and utilises the Photo Real technology to apply realism to the sculpt, including his mustache. The sculpt and face print combined leaves us with a good likeness to Mobius as we see him on screen.
Mobius uses the existing Tony Stak suited body as a base, with a minor tweak on the belt to give Mobius the more ornate gold buckle he sports on the show. The jacket is a new piece over the Tony Stark shirt and the tie piece is also new - and while it looks short, it is accurate to how Mobius wears his tie on the show.
Each part of the costume is cast in the base colour, so the painting on the body is limited to the belt and the shoes. Even with this limited application of paint, my Mobius arrived with a paint mark on his shirt and another on his right shoe.
There are two accessories included in the set. The first is the Time Stick which is cast in a hard smooth plastic that gives it some crisp detail in the handle and the emitter end. The handle is left in black with a brown shaft and a further black emitter end that is enhanced with bronze around the mechanism.
Mobius then gets his Tempad which is cast in gold and features a working hinge that allows the Tempad to be opened and closed. Inside we have a plain black screen as well as a black speaker. Silver, bronze and white details are added for the controls.
Mobius has 19 points of articulation, all carried in from that original body, That means Mobius gets double jointed knees and elbows, but these are pinned and visible on the brown suit. It also means the neck joint carries the larger pivot which is visible under the chin.
All of the joints do what they need to do and with no armour, robes or cloaks, Mobius is pretty extensive in articulation choices. The only niggle remains the ankles on these suited bodies where the shoes never seem to come in flat enough and the figure always feels unstable and is prone to falling backwards.
It is great to see the Loki series figures growing with the addition of Mobius to accompany your Loki Variant and the two of them do look great displayed together - the choice of bodies does mean Loki stands a touch taller than Mobius as is the case on screen. As a Fan CHannel exclusive outside of the US, Mobius won't be overly difficult to obtain while US collectors will need to run the Target gauntlet.

About Me : As a child of the 70's and 80's I grew up in a golden age for action figures and in my youth bought and sold myself through collections of Star Wars, G.I. Joe (Action Force) and M.A.S.K. while also dabbling in He-Man, Transformers and Ghostbusters. Roll forward and I am now reliving that Youth with the action figures of today and am a collector and fan of the larger 6-8 inch figures from my favourite movie and TV licences - including the ones mentioned above, but also the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Doctor Who and the Aliens. I launched The Mephitsu Archives in 2015 with a view of creating a UK focused site or these figures where fans can pick up the latest action figure news, read reviews and get information on where to buy their figures and what is currently on store shelves. I hope I am delivering that to you guys...
