Hey, peeps! Mike here, and I'm very excited to be bringing you another Marvel Collector Corps review. So far, the collaboration between Marvel Comics and Funko Toys has given us two superb subscription box offerings, so I was simply ecstatic when the third one showed up at my door, albeit rather late compared to the previous ones.
Yes, that is indeed the new Thor on the box! But, before I move on to what was inside, here's some vital pricing info about this relatively new subscription program:
Bi-Monthly Subscription
$31.95 USD to the US / $39.00 USD to Canada (Shipping Included)
Yearly Subscription
$191.70 USD to the US / $234.00 USD to Canada (Shipping Included)
As you may have noticed above, this isn't a monthly subscription. Instead, Funko sends a box out every 2 months, thus the higher box price compared to programs like Loot Crate and Nerd Block. If you get the yearly subscription, you get an 8" bonus figure each year on the anniversary of your subscription.
Now that the business side of things is out of the way, on to the goodies!
Here's a list of what was inside the box, along with approximate pricing:
- Collector Corps Pin ($5.00 CAD)
- Collector Corps Patch ($5.00 CAD)
- Secret Wars T-Shirt ($18.00 CAD)
- Secret Wars #1 Comic ($5.00 CAD)
- Spider-Man Pop! Vinyl ($17.00 CAD)
- Thor Pop! Vinyl ($17.00 CAD)
Collector Corps Box
I'm a huge fan of the Collector Corps custom boxes, but I honestly didn't find the choice of comic panels to be as dynamic as the ones in the previous boxes. But, I admit that I haven't read "Secret Wars", which is the theme of this box, so maybe it's a lot cooler than I know.
Collector Corps Pin
That is one awesome-looking Iron Man pin! It's definitely going to be a fine addition to my growing collection on my cork board.
Collector Corps Patch
I love the design of this Falc... err... Captain America patch. As I've said before, I don't really collect patches, but I'm sure I'll find some way to display this beauty.
Secret Wars T-Shirt
I cannot express how much I love this shirt. It's definitely the most obvious Marvel / Funko shirt to date, which I really appreciate since this is a Marvel / Funko subscription program after all. But, more than that, I think the design is just amazing! You'll definitely see me walking down the street with this shirt on.
Secret Wars #1 Comic
After giving subscribers an eyebrow-raising #5 in the previous box, the Collector Corps gurus smartened up and gave us a #1. As I haven't read "Secret Wars", this will certainly be a good place for me to start. Plus, I love the cover!
Spider-Man Pop! Vinyl
Oh, man! Way to deliver, Funko / Marvel! Yes, this is Miles Morales Spider-Man. Yes, it's awesome!
Thor Pop! Vinyl
And, yes, this is the new Thor immortalized as a Pop! figure and officially my favourite item of this box. Now, please excuse me while I drool all over my keyboard.
OVERVIEW
I have to say, this third Marvel Collector Corps offering was a home run. It had fantastic items and was definitely worth the price of admission. If you haven't signed up for this program already, I highly recommend that you give it a shot. You can do that by visiting their web site HERE.
That's all for now. Thanks for reading and see you again soon!
