The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection


J D M C

Recommended Posts

I had a similar problem with the Hulk Special which turned up separated at the waist. The only other one I had trouble with was Elektra with those damn fiddly daggers but they straightened out OK thankfully. Apart from that I've had no problem. I was getting my subscription a good couple of weeks after some of you for a while too but seem to have fallen into line now. Nothing more irritating than waiting for a figure and then find out some of you lot had already had it for ages. I don't want to haer how good it is. I just want it!

Just thinking aloud but I was wondering earlier (while dusting the figures) how much it costs to produce each one right from development, sculpting etc to manufacture and distribution. I read in Comics International that the first issue with Spider Man which was everywhere and cost the introductory £2.99 in the UK sold over 100,000 copies. Now that circulation will have come down significantly I know but it's obviously still cost effective as the increase in issues to 80 form 60 indicates.

 

I wonder if they could produce whole sets of figures at a cost effective price? Personally I'd quite like the original Lee & Kirby X-Men in the yellow and black kit or the original Avengers. We have Thor, but we would need an origin Iron Man and Hulk and Ant-Man & Wasp. Cap came a couple of issues later of course.

 

I know: pie in the sky but I'd really be interested if they did produce full sets of some of the original teams. :-(

Great reply to Scythe’s comment about walking in cities at night Grim Reaper. Even I must admit that the forum has veered slightly off track (put a bunch of South Africans together and the topic always seems to veer in the same direction)

 

Must say I am worried, with only 2500 to 5000 “blue Angle’s” floating around are their going to be enough for the rest of the world (Germany, France, South Africa, USA) by the time we get to that point in the collection. I would like to keep my collection as complete as possible and don’t want to loose out on any variants.

 

Only problem I have had with broken figures is a bit of paint chipped off Doc Dooms cape, but the mags do often end up being a bit creased and bent. Personally I would rather pay a bit more for delivery and have my stuff arrive in good condition.

 

Cant wait to see the Venom pics on this forum as you can see from my log in name I’m a big Venom fan.

I haven't got my plinth or binder either (luckily I had a spare of both so it's not that much of a problem for me).

Phoned them about it and appaently they're waiting for new stock cause they've sold out. Not exactly good planning/timing is it? Just as issues 31/31 come out and it's time for a new binder/plinth. Somebody in stock management needs to have a good talking to.

The only figurine I've had damaged in the post was Mr Fantastic, who's extended arm was a bit over extended! It's amazed me so far that was the only one damaged, considering the state of the boxes most weeks! They look like Hulk himself has delivered them!

 

What are peoples favourite figurines so far, outside of the specials? Mine would have to be Doc Ock, Kraven (a character I cared little for) and Rogue who, after seeing the paint job on the eaglemoss website and the pics you guys posted I was dreading! But she turned out real good! I seem to be a month behind some of you (I received Rogue/Panther last week), so I'm wondering if they are done in batches?

 

I'm hoping Iceman and Gambit go the way of Rogue as well and turn out alot better than the preview pics!

Favorite fig so far hmmm ..... Colossus

 

non special is a real toughie

I read a few pages back that eaglemoss was aware of a number websites about the collection

that attracted alot of interest. With all the talk of the the line-up possibily being increased to

80 or even 100 characters, I was wondering whether Grim could put a poll on his website

(similar to the age/sex one) where we could vote for what additional characters we would like

to see?

 

I'm sure we could come up with at least 40 additional characters on this forum between, then

spend a few weeks voting and pass the results onto eaglemoss? If they see how much interest

there is and the characters which are attracting the most interest it might push them in the

right direction?

 

For one I'd like to see: Vulture, Electro, Scorpion, Kingpin, Silver Samurai, Mr. Sinister,

Omega Red, Jubilee, Toad, Banshee, Bishop..... I could go on!!

 

What do you guys thing? Is that something you'd be interested in Grim??
