Hello everyone!
My first post on this excellent forum! I've been a fan of Mr Byrne's work ever since I was bought me FF #256! My 9 year old eyes had only seen the black and white British reprints of 70's marvels prior to this, needless to say, I was blown away. My next book was Alpha Flight #9!! Anyway, enough of the introductions, back to the subject at hand....
I've been reading through the various correspondence on the Marvel Figurine Collection. Hope I don't go over old ground.
I've been collecting these since they came out in 2005. So many of them are great, but I have gripes about quite a few, here's a couple:
Iron Man - the best thing about these figures is that most are in scale but how come Iron Man is so puny? They must have a scale Anthony Daniels in there! :-)) Hope the Classic armoured version is bigger, I wanna stand him next to Cap and Thor!!
Kitty Pryde - why is she so big? She towers over Wolverine! And mine has a bit of a manish face. I wanted the John Byrne or Alan Davis version. Agh! (love the fact that Lockheed is there though!)
Punisher - was the face of anyone elses Punishers painted really badly? Mine was, I worked on him and he now looks like James Spader!
Someone asked way back how big Galactus would be in scale with these figurines. I stand Reed, Sue, Ben, Johnny and Norrin around Bowen's Galactus! We know that Galactus can be different sizes, but I think this is the right size for him when he made Norrin a Herald, SS was crouched in his hand afterall. I'll send a pick if I can find my camera amongst all the boxes (just moved house!)
JB: loved the Kirby Hulk you commissioned! I'm going to attempt a Sasquatch!
And finally... Wow! They're doing DC figurines now! Time to arrange the Avengers (minus Iron Man!) opposite the JLA!!
Regards
Ant
