Marvel Collector Corps - January Edition - Fantastic Four

January's Marvel Collector Corps theme was Fantastic Four. A series of Fantastic Four Pops had recently been released outside of the Marvel Collector Corps. I had considered getting them because I LOVED the Fantastic Four comics growing up (as well as the first movie with Chris Evans) but I decided to wait to see what was inside my box first. So glad I did!

I really loved this box and I'm so glad I got it! I considered skipping it only because I've been subscribed to Marvel Collector Corps for almost a year now and haven't skipped any boxes, so the Pops are really started to add up and take up space. Ultimately I didn't because I really love the Fantastic Four.

This box had 5 items: two Funko Pops, a decal, a t-shirt and an enamel pin. I'm a big fan of the t-shirt because it has a great design. It looks like a comic book cover which I love and features all of the characters. I also like that it's a denim blue color since almost every other shirt I've ever gotten has been black. I like variety and color! Doctor Doom is my favorite Marvel villain so that pin is perfect and proudly displayed at my desk at work. I was really hoping for something Doom in this box. The Human Torch Pop is the same design as the regular Pop but this one glows in the dark. The Mr. Fantastic Pop has a different pose to the common but is still pretty similar, with his arms more stretched and his hands out instead of in fists. I personally prefer this design to the common version. Finally I don't really use stickers/decals much but they're something I can make use of, and as far as those go, I like the flame "4" logo of this one.

I would value the contents of this box at around $55 which is pretty good. Personally I'm happy with everything I got but I can see why some people would be disappointed in this box. It doesn't offer all that much from what you could buy outside of the subscription service and if you already bought all of those Pops you've almost ended up with dupes. I didn't have anything yet so it worked out well for me because I kinda got an upgrade to Pops I was going to buy anyway.

The next box will be released in March and I'm seriously considering skipping it. We'll see.

Marvel Collector Corps - November Edition - Marvel Holiday

November's Marvel Collector Corps was aptly themed to Marvel Holiday. This box sounded fun to me and didn't disappoint. The box contained 4 items this time: two Funko Pops, a t-shirt, and a pair of shot glasses (or as Funko refers to them, "toothpick holders").

I loved the Pop of little Groot dressed as a Christmas tree, although I think the baby Holiday Groot Pop I got is a lot cuter. The Holiday Thor Pop cracked me up with Mjolnir wrapped as a Christmas gift with his name on it. These go perfectly with my other Marvel Holiday Pops sold outside of Marvel Collector Corps. I don't use shot glasses all that much but the holidays are when I'm most likely to use them, so these are perfect and pretty cute with designs from the regular Marvel Holiday series.

Finally the Infinity Gauntlet t-shirt. I like the ugly sweater design, very appropriate for the holidays since there isn't anything else holiday themed about the shirt. I'm getting a little fed up with all the Thanos repetition but this shirt is pretty cool for the holidays.

Overall I really like everything in this box and I'm glad I didn't skip it. The Pops have been with their Marvel Holiday counterparts on my desk at work for the holiday season. I would value the contents of this box at $50 which I think is pretty good.

Marvel Collector Corps - September Edition - Marvel 80 Years

September's Marvel Collector Corps boxed was themed to 80 Years of Marvel. I was really excited for what would be in this box - so much to choose from over 80 years! I like what I got but I think this box should have been named "Marvel Villains" instead of Marvel 80 Years because only villains are represented in this box. What's up with that? The card inside even says "Celebrates 80 years of Super Heroes and villains that make them look good". There are no super heroes in this box.

This box contained 5 items which was pretty good: two Pops, a t-shirt, a decal and an enamel pin. I really love the decal! It looks like the corner of an old comic with the Marvel Comics Group logo, issue number and price. Neat! The pin isn't pictured above (I already took it to work and put it on my pin board) but you can see it in the summary card photo below. It's the Hydra logo.

The Green Goblin t-shirt is pretty awesome, he's one of my favorite villains so I will for sure wear that shirt. The Pops are really hefty! The first is Thanos and the second is Loki. Both designs are taken from the first comic appearance of each character. Both Pops are well done but I prefer Loki. I like his character better but also I feel like Thanos is pretty over-saturated at this point.

I would value this box at around $55. I like this box a lot more than the Spider-Man: Far From Home box. I keep saying I may not continue to subscribe but for now I will.

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.

Marvel Collector Corp - May Edition - Avengers: Endgame

My second Marvel Collector Corps box is themed to Avengers: Endgame which came out in April. I wasn't sure if I would keep my subscription after Captain Marvel just because I never seem to like everything in subscription boxes and then it doesn't seem worth the money. However, when I found out the theme for May I had to stick with it and I'm glad I did because this box sold out!

There were 4 items this time around: two full size Pops, a t-shirt and a coaster set. I was really happy with the Pops chosen! There were a ton of Endgame characters to choose from and while my preference would have been Tony wearing the Infinity Stones, Valkyrie is a decent choice as there aren't tons of Pops of her already. Cap with Mjolnir blew me away! Perfect Pop for Endgame right there! What an iconic moment!

I really like the coasters because they're something different and an item anyone can make use of. There are two in the set: one is Iron Man and the other is Thanos. This box came with a t-shirt just like last month but I'm not upset about that. The t-shirt is hysterical and my husband is super jealous of it! Luckily it won't fit him or he'd be stealing it! It's Fat Thor! He was so funny and such a surprising moment, that he had to have a place in this Endgame box for sure.

I would put a value of around $50-$60 on this box and I like everything inside so I'm pleased. I would say I love everything in the box but Valkyrie is the only thing preventing me from going that far. I like her a lot but I'm not in love with her. Cap is definitely the better Pop in this box.

Marvel Collector Corps - March Edition - Captain Marvel

I know, this box shipped in March, it's June and I'm only now posting about it. Not to mention there's been another shipment since then. Better late than never though, right? I wasn't signed up to the Funko Marvel Collector Corps subscription boxes until January/February time this year. I knew of the subscription service, I thought it was super fun, I thought it was a fair price, but looking at the past boxes I wasn't ever impressed with what was inside. I was always glad I didn't pay for them.

But then Captain Marvel came out and after waiting impatiently for its release, I loved the movie as much as I thought I would when it finally came out. Then I discovered the next Marvel Collector Corps box would ship in March and it would be Captain Marvel themed. I decided to take a chance and subscribe. I was very happy with the contents!

The above picture shows everything that came in the Captain Marvel box. Each box costs $29.99 plus tax, shipping is included. For me that ended up being $32 and some change. Marvel Collector Corps is available exclusively through Amazon and if you have prime you get Prime shipping. I do not have Prime but by some stroke of luck, my box arrived the day after it shipped.

Amazon advertises that there will be 4-6 items per box and this box had 4 items: two Funko Pops, a pint glass, and a t-shirt. They ask for your t-shirt size when you order the box but not every box includes a t-shirt. I love the t-shirt so much! I really like the pictures of Captain Marvel in the hangar and her suit is badass! The logo at the bottom and "Higher, further, faster" quote above finishes it all off nicely.

The pint glass is a neat item too with the quote again and Captain Marvel in her full suit and helmet. It's something practical that I will definitely use, but I wish it was dishwasher safe.

The two Funko Pops are Collector Corps exclusives that you can't buy elsewhere. On the left is Nick Fury holding Goose which I thought was really funny and a great idea for a Pop. On the right is Captain Marvel in a flying pose with flames around her hands. I love the pose and she glows in the dark which is awesome! I know here was some criticism that it felt like she was a mash-up of two other Captain Marvel Pops that were exclusive to other locations, but I don't have any Captain Marvel Pops so I was very happy with this one.

I like both of these and I'm going to keep them, but my one criticism of the Marvel Pops (and Star Wars for that matter) is that they're bobble heads. I think that's unnecessary for the majority of characters (Dancing Baby Groot being an exception for example) and makes them look super tacky. For that reason I haven't bought any outside of the Collectors Corps.

I personally would put around a $55 value on this box, not taking the value of exclusives into account. Overall I am really happy with the contents and value of this box and I am so glad I subscribed! I currently still have my Marvel Collector Corps subscription so look for more review posts here later on.
