When a Diabolical Empire Threatens the World, There's Only One Hero! 💪⚡
Before he became a Saturday morning cartoon staple, Max Steel burst onto the action figure scene in 1999 as Mattel's answer to a new era of extreme sports-meets-secret agent heroes — and this 1999 Mattel Max Steel N-Tek Force 12-Inch Action Figure with Ultra Combat Rifle is the original release that started it all. Still sealed after 25+ years, this is a genuine piece of late '90s action figure history for fans of the franchise.
What's in the Package:
This 12-inch N-Tek Force figure comes with a full accessory loadout including the Ultra Combat Rifle, an N-Tek Missile, and the non-removable Bio-Link Communicator on his wrist — the communication device that connects him to N-Tek headquarters. The figure captures Max's signature athletic build and N-Tek operative look in the larger 12-inch format that gives this version considerably more detail and presence than the smaller scale releases.
⚠️ Packaging Condition — Please Read Carefully: The figure and accessories inside are brand new, still sealed in the packaging, and in great condition for a 25+ year old item — the bubble seal is intact with only very slight bubble crushing that does not impact the contents inside. However, the card backing has seen better days — there are tears and creases visible on the card. Additionally, despite the bubble being cleaned, there appears to be some sand build-up between the bubble and the cardback at the top of the package near the hook hole — an age-related accumulation that could not be fully removed. The card condition is what it is after 25 years, and the price reflects that honestly. Please review all listing photos very carefully to make sure you are completely satisfied with the packaging condition before purchasing — we have photographed everything clearly so there are no surprises.
Whether you're a Max Steel fan who grew up with the franchise and wants the original 1999 N-Tek Force figure in your collection, a late '90s action figure collector who appreciates finding sealed examples of this era despite the expected card wear, or someone who plans to open it and display the figure itself without concern for the packaging — Max Steel is loaded up and ready to report for duty.
