Well, this week I completed my current selection of Funko Pops with the addition of the Kingpin. All of them, with the exception of one (Uncle Sam) are Marvel characters. My original collection started out with just those of Captain America, but then I branched out to include other Marvel characters, either ones that I really like their costumes or those that were part of the original beginnings of Timely/Marvel Comics (Namor, the Original Human Torch, Captain America, The Fantastic Four, the Hulk, Spider-Man, Thor, Ant-Man, Iron Man, the X-Men and Daredevil). Yes, I know that I don't have one of Doctor Strange. There isn't one of him based on his original, first appearance yet. After collecting the heroes I decided to follow suit with collecting their main enemies, two of which another Marvel Comics FB group helped me with in determining. Unfortunately I can't afford the Red Skull for Captain America and there isn't anyone available for Ant-Man or Iron Man at this time. When I was trying to find out who the Hulk's primary arch nemesis is many pointed out his alter-ego, Bruce Banner, which makes total sense! Fortunately the Hulk Pop that I purchased included Bruce Banner so that took care of that, LOL! Then recently I reached out to determine who Daredevil's main villain is and it was a close run between the Kingpin and Bullseye and I went with Kingpin. If time and space allows I wouldn't mind getting the original Sinister Six. I already have Electro and see that all the other members except Mysterio are available, and I'm not sure why they didn't make one of the comic book version of Mysterio! It's such a great costume design that would look great as a Pop.

Thanks Ryan! Of course there is my wish list for future Pops: 3-D Man (from the 70's), Captain Britain (original costume), Captain Universe (the recently released Spider-Man as Captain Universe is SOO close!), Guardian and Jack of Hearts (original costume). I am also hoping for the Wasp from her first appearance (which will give me all of the original Avengers).

I've been saving up my nickels and finally received this today! I've skimmed through the whole thing and it's an absolutely wonderful collection, especially all the AF pieces, many I haven't seen before. I'm going to take my time enjoying each page over the coming days.

Unless you mean the RTIFACT, that's just crazy talk. Of course, I have a very clear memory of seeing this for the first time in a back issue box and buying it, and being in love at first sight with the art.

Hope it's OK to post this here. With all the recent posts of Marvel Funko Pops (mine included) I decided to create a Facebook fan/community page for other Marvel Funko Pop collectors to join so as to share their collections, get info on upcoming Marvel Pops and more.
It's called Marvel Pop Stop (designed to be a one stop site):

Well, I'm stunned by the amount of engineering that went into it, but...
Would I buy a 1/1 scale model kit based on a Cup of Noodles?
