(with Electronic Sound Effects) Includes 3 AG13 button cell batteries
Ben Grimm grew up on the mean streets of New York and looked for any possible way to get out. Thanks to a football scholarship to a leading university, he did. In college, Ben met the brilliant Reed Richards. Reed took good-hearted Ben under his wing and helped him study; Ben protected his best friend, the science geek, from the local bullies. As Reed's first choice to pilot of his experimental space mission, Ben isn't happy to end up co-pilot under former junior officer Johnny Storm. Although he's an expert pilot, Johnny likes to joke and play pranks, especially on the old-fashioned Ben Grimm.
