Marvel Collector Corps - July Edition - Spider-Man


I still debate on keeping my Marvel Collector Corps subscription. So far I've been very happy with both boxes but I'm always afraid I'll get a box I don't like. I loved Spider-Man: Far From Home so I opted to keep this box. I will say this has been my least favorite box so far.

There were 5 items in this box, one more than last time, but I feel like quantity won over quality this time. Two of the items were Pops: Spider-Man in a Dutch soccer jersey and Mysterio. The scene where Peter dons the soccer Jersey in Holland is pretty funny and a great idea for a Pop if you're wanting to reflect memorable movie moments, but the Pop itself is very "meh". I never would have bought it if I saw it on the shelf.


Mysterio however is an incredible Pop! His cape is very well detailed and he lights up! Very cool. I've always thought Mysterio was an awesome villain so I love this Pop. The other three items were a hacky sack, a Midtown School of Science and Technology cinch tote/drawstring backpack, and a Spider-Man logo decal.

The hacky sack looks cute but honestly, I can't tell you what I'll ever do with it. Pretty useless. The backpack is neat but very cheaply made. You couldn't put much in there at all without it ripping. I use drawstring totes all the time but I'm not sure what I'll use that for since it's so fragile. The decal is cool but I don't really know where to put it so for now it's still in the box.

I would put the value of this box at about $45. This box truly made me question if I should continue with the Marvel Collector Corps at this point. I love Mysterio but could live without the other items. The next theme sounds pretty good so I'll give it one more shot and see if I'll keep subscribing.
