Corgi to Produce Exclusive Marvel Figures
— September 29, 2005 Leave a Comment
More good news for Marvel fans, Corgi sent out a press release yesterday detailing their new Marvel figures. This is interesting because the figures will be die cast metal in a 6 inch scale. They report that the initial Marvel line will be introduced at the American International Toy Fair in February, 2006, and will include Spider-Man, Captain America, Hulk, Thor as well as other heroes and villains. They also report that they will be produced in very limited quantities, and priced to encourage consumers to collect the complete line. The first figure produced in the series will be exceedingly limited and sure to enhance collectibility. Each character will be produced in 3D along with alter ego figures and adversarial characters so collectors can build a comprehensive collection.
I think this is good news. This could be a great alternative to the Marvel Legends style figures. One thing I don’t understand is their statement on pricing. That could mean anything. The other thing that is interesting is that “exceedingly limited” line. I guess hard to find variants are the trend right now in the collectibles market. I’m not happy about that but the line is not even out yet so we will wait and see how well they do.
