Marvel Collector Corps - Box 2 : Ant-Man

Marvel Collector Corps - Box 2 : Ant-Man

The second Marvel Collector Corps box has finally arrived, featuring the hero of next week’s sure to be blockbuster smash, Ant-Man! Back in February, we broke the news that Marvel and Funko had teamed up to bring us, the fans, 100% completely exclusive collectibles t-shirts and accessories valued at over $50 through a bi-monthly shipping service and once again they did not disappoint!

Much like the first Avengers box, a beautifully rendered Scott Lang Ant-Man image graced the top of the box with Ant-Man and Marvel markings screaming around the outer edges. The inside flap contained great moments in Ant-Man comics history, which featuring Yellowjacket, Wasp, Stature and more!

Upon opening the top flap, once again the first two pieces of swag greeted me in the form of a Marvel Collector’s Corps patch and pin, this time both featuring Ant-Man.

Lifting the inner flap where the patch and pin were positioned, the Exclusive Ant-Man Pop! Vinyl figure was displayed; a helmet-less Ant-Man alongside Funko’s smallest figure to date, miniature Ant-Man!

Nestled to the right-hand side of the Pop! Vinyl figure, were two Funko bobble-head Ant-Man figures. My luck brought me both Ant-Man and Yellowjacket!

Below the vinyl figures, an exclusive Variant Edition of Ant-Man #5 was tucked underneath …

And directly below was another fantastic exclusive T-shirt to round out the box!

After my ups and downs with Loot Crate and NerdBlock, I’m loving the items arriving through the Marvel Collector Corps. In just one month, August will bring another set of exclusives tied to this summer’s epic comic event Secret Wars for Box 3!

Marvel Collector Corps - Box 1 : Avengers

Marvel Collector Corps - Box 1 : Avengers

The Marvel Collector Corps has finally launched, and we here at New Geek Protocol have our hands on the very first box featuring none other than Earth’s Mightiest, the Avengers! Back in February, we broke the news that Marvel and Funko had teamed up to bring us, the fans, 100% completely exclusive collectibles t-shirts and accessories valued at over $50 through a bi-monthly shipping service and they did not disappoint!

When my box arrived, there was no hiding the excitement for what was in store. A Golden Age Captain America graded the top of the box with Avengers and Marvel markings screaming around the outer edges. The inside flap contained great moments in Marvel Comics history, which features the likes of The Incredible Hulk, Hawkeye, Iron Man, Black Widow and more!

Upon opening the top flap, the first two pieces of swag greeted me in the form of a Marvel Collector’s Corps Ultron patch and Captain America pin.

Lifting the inner flap where the patch and pin were positioned, the Exclusive Hulkbuster Pop! Vinyl figure was displayed, and this thing is HUGE. Standing at a whopping 6” (compared to the standard 3 ¾” figured) this beauty is sure to be a “must have” for any Iron Man fan!

Nestled to the right-hand side of the Hulkbuster, was an Avengers : Age of Ultron Dorbz Vinyl figure featuring the iconic villain himself!

With the vinyl figures (gently!) removed from the box, an exclusive Variant Edition of Guardians Team-Up #1 was tucked underneath …

Alongside One of Four unique Avengers vs. Ultron T-shirts to round out the box! My randomly selected shirt featured Thor, but Captain America, Iron Man and Hulk variations have also been received by other Corps members!

Overall, I’m quite pleased with the items that arrived in the Marvel Collector Corps Launch Box, and I’m excited to see what’s in store for June when Ant-Man takes the reigns as the theme for Box 2! To sign-up for the Marvel Collector Corps, visit www.collectorcorps.com today!

The Weekly Pull : Marvel Collector Corps

The Weekly Pull : Marvel Collector Corps

Back when we first began New Geek Protocol, one of our monthly staples was to review a monthly subscription box service. Arcade Block, Loot Crate and Nerd Block services all made appearances over the course of the year, but each month was hit or miss for our team and ultimately fell short of earning our hard earned cash for a renewal.

However, a new subscription service contender has entered the ring this week as Funko and Marvel have collaborated to bring us Marvel Collector Corps. Featuring 100% completely exclusive collectables, t-shirts and accessories, each box will focus on a current event taking place in the Marvel Universe beginning with Avengers : Age Of Ultron in this bi-monthly service.

The debut box is scheduled to ship April 2015, and promises an exclusive 6" Hulkbuster Iron Man Pop! Vinyl collectable only available through Marvel Collector Corps! Additionally, one of four exclusive t-shirt designs, an additional vinyl collectable and two premium accessories are also listed as the swag to expect representing over a $50 value.

The second box, scheduled for June 2015, will feature an Ant-Man theme and for my money is the most promising and exciting subscription service to date. Two subscription levels are available for purchase, Founder and Collector, with the Founder level promising an exclusive figure on the anniversary of your subscription when a year (six boxes) are paid in full up front.

Each subscription runs $25 per box, and you know my pre-order has already been placed! To learn more, or to join the service yourself head over to www.collectorcorps.com!
