Listing is for a Classic Marvel Figurine Collection Eaglemoss 2009 Statue #93 Valkyrie Mag Only.
The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection is a magazine series published by
Eaglemoss Publications from 2005 to 2012, through which consumers can
collect hand-painted lead figurines of the Marvel Comics characters. The
figurines are produced at a 1:21 scale, so that regular figurines have a
height around 9 cm (3.5 in). Bigger figurines are also produced: bulky
characters like the Hulk are considered as Specials while giant characters
like Galactus are called Mega Specials. Double Packs consisting of two
figurines of related characters have also been released.
The Classic Marvel Figurine Collection was a magazine
collection by Eaglemoss Publications, and Marvel Comics, launched in 2005
in the United Kingdom. The series was so successful it inspired the
release of The DC Super Hero Figurine Collection which started 3
years later. The two "competing" comic universe figures would run
simultaneously for a number of years. Each informational magazine featured
a single Marvel super hero's history - and was accompanied by a hand
painted, roughly 3 1/2" tall, lead figure of said character. "Special"
editions would be created to accommodate the "larger" Marvel characters.
The collection consisted of two regular issues a month, with a special
issue released every two months, to accommodate the larger characters in
the Marvel Universe. The same format and figures were released in other
English speaking countries - as well as some Spanish speaking ones (the
accompanying magazine was translated into Spanish). The magazine
series officially ended in 2012, with 200 issues in the main series,
twenty specials, seven mega-specials and four two-figure packs.
Note: the comics and figures were sent via standard snail mail - while
the figures were generally well protected in cardboard boxes with clear
acetate "formed" bubbles/covers - the magazines were merely placed into
plastic bags - with most (all?) suffering typical mail transportation and
aging wear. Note while our figures and magazines will ship with their
original boxes (unless otherwise described in the listing), the original
outer plastic "baggie" will not be included. Example of one of the boxed
figures follows below:
