The magazines are very nicely put together and as has been said JB's art is often in there. If they had included aĬlassic red-and-gold Layton era of Iron Man, I would probably be forced Good as depicted (Rogue doesn't look quite like what I pictureĪs the "classic" version, but their portrayal of the character and theĪll in all, a very, VERY nice collection. "classic" to me others don't seem exactly right, but they look very Reason (not quite what I picture as an "on-character" pose, perhaps),Īnd the Wolverine is nice enough, but the costume hardly qualifies as Some are in-between - Reed Richards seems a little "off" for some Strange, Angel, Iceman, Phoenix, Captain America, Thor,Ĭolossus, the Vision, etc.), while they got others SO wrong (Cyclops, Beast, She-Hulk, Iron Man, to name a few). Many of the character so right to my eye (the Surfer, Dr. Wow - just browsed through the collection - amazing that they got SO I just wonder what size Galactus will be!!Īlso: I wish Marvel would stop ruining their characters. Venom for instance is rather small and Dr Strange seems rather big. for the most part I am very happy with them but just like Marvel Legends some of the size differences between figures can be a bit jarring. I have all of these figures apart from the variant Angel and Phoenix figures. On the same note, can you guess which 2 do not feature any art by Jack Kirby? Can you guess which 3 do NOT feature Byrne art? Of the 15 figures I have collected, 12 have magazines that contain at least one illustration from John Byrne. To date, I have acquired 15 of these figures: Spider-Man, Wolverine, the Thing, the Silver Surfer, Captain America, Phoenix, Iron Man, Daredevil, Thor, the Beast, the Human Torch, Captain Britain, Cyclops, the Angel, and Iceman.Įach figure comes with an illustrated magazine that explains the history of the character, major milestones, allies, enemies, etc. Their website currently lists Doctor Octopus, the Silver Surfer and the Green Goblin as available for order, with a load more listed as Expected. I got both the Angel and Iceman there a few weeks ago, and they had the Thing and Blade available just this afternoon. They've been popping up at Midtown Comics in Manhattan.

Try Forbidden Planet mail order,i had a catalogue from them in the week,they have a large selection plus dislpay plinths. Thanks, I was looking under toys and statues Just because you CAN do it, doesn't mean you SHOULD do it!" They have been in the magazine section previously, Ron. Would love to get the Thor, Hawkeye, Captain America and Silver Surfer I did not see them in the most recent Previews, am I just not looking hard enough JB, if you ever in Ireland, my local comic shop has ALL the back issues and figurines including the specialsĪre they hard to find or can you still get them all? I will try and remember to take a snap of my collection later today. JB, they should be available from your LCS as they are in Previews now but as you say, there are plenty to be found on ebay. Thankfully most of them are pretty traditional.
There are a lot of us collectors who are annoyed at some of the modern renditions - Beast and Cyclops for instance. Of course, as is only to be expected these days, quite a few that stretch the word "classic" to the breaking point. Quite a few of those I'd love to add to my collection. You can flick through and look at the first 55 figures… There is supposed to be a Galactus special sometime this year. You can flick through and look at the first 55 figures plus some of the specials like Thanos and the Hulk. There's something passively dignified about them that I like. I'm usually pretty darn critical when it comes to comic related statues and figures. Metric conversion, 1 inch=25.4 millimeters. The larger size hulk one they did was good too.i stopped buying them after the first 20 or so. I know that a lot of Americans are now picking them up through Previews. And heck, he could set all of these on just one shelf of his Marvel Legends line. It's a shame, as the quality looks to be light-years ahead of my son's superhero game-pieces of half the size (lead or no). I have been collecting it for several years (just got issue 44 which has Iron Fist) and was wondering what people thought of it?įor my part, I'd never come across them, David. Was wondering if this collection was only available in the UK and Ireland: Printed Date: 21 September 2022 at 5:58pm Byrne Robotics: Marvel Figurine Collection Print Page | Close Windowįorum Discription: Everything to do with comic book writer/artist John Byrne
