So here are some wonderful Iron 3 Man toys from Marvel MAXVEL!!!
Those folks at MAXVEL never go cheap, they even include the masks for maximum enjoyment!
And I am loving the designs, just when we thought, everything had already been done in the world of armor:
Three great additions to any collection … if you can find them!
If you have taken a look around the site, you might have noticed a couple of entries dedicated to bootleg superhero toys (here and here). I have been getting a few more … As it turns out that there’s a lot of bootlegs out there, you just need to know where to find them, so in the coming days I will be posting about some of the ones I was lucky enough to get.
Starting with The Amazing Spider-Man, aptly subtitled “All the vogue all new edition the best gift for you!”, because in a lot of ways, this is the perfect Spider-Man package, as it contains:
– Two spiders in a respectful wink to the origin of Spider-Man
– Spider-Man almost in the original suit, but because the people who made this are not limited by IP they went and put two spiders on the chest, because this guy was probably bitten by the two spiders above
– What would Spider-Man be without his nemesis, Gold Venom?
– Remember that Spider-Man story when he traveled to ancient Egypt and 17th century France and built his own skateboard? If you don’t, you clearly haven’t been following Spider-Verse, I am sure it was there somewhere.
– Clearly, the previous one might have been an artistic license, but I am 100% sure I have seen something similar to this in Spider-Verse:
– And, of course, the world famous Spider-Gun:
What kid wouldn’t want all of this, I ask you?
In an effort for other people to be able to identify other items from this collection in their possession (and would you please let me know), here are some pictures from the back of the package:
– They thought the skate and the gun were such good ideas they made two of them, for what seems like 2 different sizes of Spider-Man. The smaller one has only the one spider on his chest, while my mega-alpha Spider-Man has two because he’s bigger:
– Yes, they all have light coming out of their chest (a common thread on most Chinese superhero toys post-RDJ’s Iron Man). I REALLY dig that black Spider-Man with silver shoulderpads, gloves and boots, though:
And remember:
Happy New Year, Humans!!! I am hoping I get to write a bit more this year blah blah blah … Let’s cut to the chase:
Bootleg collection showcase starts today (next post)!
Just put this online: COLLAGES by Jane Kitty Pride Kane with music by The Protagonist! Take a look, some really cool stuff there for free!!!
CROSSOVER COLLECTION UPDATE!!!
So, a couple of weeks ago, I was checking random comic covers (as most of you probably do) and I fell in love with this diamond:
I received the comic yesterday (could I do anything else but order it immediately?) and, if I have the time, I will write a “review” on the comic itself whenever I get to read it. Good news is that the cover artist is the same as the interior artist, a gentleman by the name of Bill Fraccio, who (I confess) I wasn’t familiar with. It turns out he’s awesome.
Just look at some of his other covers:
To make it all even better it turns out he’s the very same artist of Dell’s positively psychotronic Dracula (as if I needed any more reasons to love this guy):
GENIUS! I will get back to you (maybe) when I read the Blue Beetles, because now that I know it’s the same guy who drew Dracula, I am doubly excited about them!!!
So, for all those of you wondering, yes, I am still collecting crossovers so here’s an update after half a year (to be honest I really need to check it myself, I don’t remember if I have bought a lot of these lately, in any case, it’s not like I have time to write more):
