Deathstroke XXRAY Vinyl Figure by Mighty Jaxx

Based in Singapore, Mighty Jaxx is a company that makes some unique artistic figurines, but their XXRAY line is a particularly interesting/wicked little set of vinyl figures. Their website puts is best when is says that, "XXRAY builds on your imagination and shows you what your favourite character looks like on the inside." You see, each hand painted individually and assembled XXRAY figures depict your favorite heroes and villains in full flesh, hair, and costume on one half, but cadaver-like guts and bones on the other. Designer Jason Freeny, known for his dissection style of art, and the Mighty Jaxx team have come up with some pretty cool 4" vinyl figures that are half cute, half creepy, but all cool. Freeny handled the X-ray dissection element, Ben Qwek illustrated the design, and Adam Tan sculpted the 3-D model. In an interesting detail, the hero figures have their insides exposed on the right side (where the heart is), whereas the villains display their innards on their left, or heartless sides. Deathstroke, one of only three villains to be featured to date, debuted in the figure line's third wave, which is pictured below. Check out xxray.com for their other twisted little figurines.
