Funko POP! Marvel Collector Corps Exclusive Scarlet Witch

Back in 2014, as part of Marvel’s phase two of films, James Gunn brought the first Guardians of the Galaxy film to our screens and with it, the unlikely hero that is Peter “Starlord” Quill. The ill-matched band of heroes, including sentient tree Groot and experiment gone wrong Rocket raccoon, became a found family of misfits, saving the galaxy one dance battle at a time and firmly earning their place and much-loved characters. While there are many Funko POPs that have been made of their leader Starlord, none have approached the level of visual detail and interest as the collector corps version featured here.

Depicting Pete Quill with the power stone, the designers made a fantastic choice of utilizing glow-in-the-dark acrylic to accentuate the purple detailing of the stone's power, which both wraps around the Starlord figure and shines through his eyes when the lights are out. Instead of a simple recreation of the character on screen, Funko decided to give you a snapshot of one of the most iconic scenes in the Guardians of the Galaxy cannon with this collector's item.

Funko Pop Marvel Collector Corps Exclusive Guardians of the Galaxy

Since being introduced to the Marvel Cinematic Universe in phase three, Dr Strange quickly became a fan favorite and went on to have a cameo in Thor: Ragnarök and then play a big part in the incredibly successful Spiderman: No Way Home, as well as the ensemble Avengers movies as well. Portrayed by the renowned English actor Benedict Cumberbatch, Dr Strange’s dry humor and sarcasm are as much of what makes him so watchable as his powers.

With this in mind, anyone who is collecting Marvel Funko POPs is going to want to have a Strange in their collection, so why not make it a unique, collector corps Dr Strange? This extra collectible item is die-cast in a vivid yellow acrylic vinyl that has been mixed with glitter to give this Funko POP and extra magical look. Adding to this is the dynamic pose of Dr Strange seemingly levitating in the air. Unlike other Funko POPs where the effect of flying or hovering is achieved by adding a clear, plastic stand, this Dr Strange Funko has been designed so that the flow of his cape holds him up, eliminating a need for any bulky accessories and giving a realistic image of levitation.

As many Funko fans will know, the signature design of Funko POPs is based on bobbleheads, which was the company’s original product line.

Doctor Strange Pop! Exclusive Marvel Collector Corps

One of the most highly anticipated MCU films of 2019, Captain Marvel burst onto the big screen as the first female-led superhero movie in the cannon, beating even Black Widow to the spot. In a dramatic retelling of the beloved comic-book origin story of Carol Danvers, MCU fans were finally introduced to the character who is often referred to as the most powerful Avenger in existence, portrayed by the excellent Brie Larson.

This collector corps Funko POP does such a comic-book legend justice by paying extra attention to the design of this figure. The costume worn by Danvers in the film was changed very little from her original design in the comics, giving the film a retro feel, and this has been honored here too. The figure has been painted in the vivid bright reds and yellows of her costume’s accents against the dark blue of her suit, which is accentuated by the realistic attention they have paid to the flow of her hair. As one would assume, the most powerful avenger isn’t going to have her feet on the ground and thus has been posed flying, coming with an accompanying stand for a 360-degree view when displayed. What makes this Funko POP really exciting however is the fact that it is a glow-in-the-dark figure. Even when the lights are out, the light of Captain Marvel’s flames will be visible.

  • Glows in the dark

Funko Marvel Collector Corps Subscription Box Black Widow

While we were first introduced to the comic-book villain Venom way back in the Toby McGuire films, the character has undergone a dark and humorous makeover in recent years through Tom Hardy’s portrayal in both ‘Venom’ and its sequel, ‘Venom: Let there be carnage’. In these films, which are rumored to have an MCU crossover in the future, we see Venom as not merely a villain, but a three-dimensional character that is morally complicated by his literal attachment to Eddie Brock.

It is this later incarnation of Venom played by Hardy that this unique, collector corps Funko POP takes its inspiration. From even the most cursory glance, it is clear to tell that Funko has outdone itself on this figurine of Venom with its attention to detail. The intricate paintwork on the costume, the almost fluid shape of the body, the pop of color via the green goo on his tongue, and perhaps most impressively, the dynamic pose. Depicted as leaping forwards in his characteristic style, this Venom Funko comes complete with an acrylic stand for optimal display.

  • Dynamically posed Venom figurine
  • Functioning bobblehead

Funko POP! Marvel Collectors Crops - Venom

Of all the comic-book characters Marvel has created, and there have been hundreds if not thousands, Deadpool probably wouldn’t have been the big movie studios' guess at the next smash hit. In 2016, Ryan Reynolds brought the character to life in the first Deadpool movie, a piece tonally so different from the rest of the MCU that it felt like a breath of fresh air. Full of humor, self-awareness, and oftentimes gritty violence, Deadpool had fast become a fan favorite with an eagerly anticipated third movie reportedly in the works.

With the quirky nature of the character and the films, it then makes perfect sense why, to celebrate the 30th anniversary of the character, Funko decided to do something a little bit different.

Posed with two machetes and ready for battle, Dinopool will make an eye-catching addition to your Marvel Funko POP collection.

Funko Pop! Marvel Collector Corps Exclusive 30th Anniversary DinoPool

The Guardians of the Galaxy films stand out from other Marvel creations for their ensemble casts of quirky characters that band together despite their differences; one such character is, of course, Groot. Voiced by action hero Vin Diesel, Groot is a sentient tree-like creature who is best friends with Rocket the racoon, as voiced by Bradley Cooper.

If you are a fan of the first female Avenger, adding this rare Funko to your collection is an absolute must.

What Are the Marvel Collector Corps Funko POPs?

funko-pop-marvel-match-made-geek-heaven

As mentioned previously, the Collector Corps Funkos can be identified by the sticker that is placed on the front of the box, which is always red and white, but aside from this identifier, what does it mean for a figure to be in the Collector Corps?

The Collector Corps started off solely as a subscription box where each month subscribers would receive a themed hamper containing normally two Funko POPs and a range of accessories, such as t-shirts and pin badges. However, since these grew in popularity, individual figures were added to the collection for people to buy. As with many different variations of Funkos, what makes the Collector Corps so exciting is that they are in high demand and more valuable than your standard Funko POP. Sometimes, this is simply because they are part of the collection, but often this is because they have incredibly unique designs that are not found anywhere else (much like the Doctor Strange and Scarlet Witch Funkos featured above).

Welloux is one of the best Funko Pop display cases

The Funko company has been around since the 1990s and began by making bobblehead figures to a reasonable amount of success, but it is only in the last decade or so that the Funko POP craze has really taken off, with collectors seeking out the rarest and most exciting new designs all over the world. What is the secret to why these highly stylized little figures have become such a staple of pop culture?

One theory is that the average Funko POP is cheaper than other more traditional figurines. For approximately twenty dollars, you can get yourself one of the standard Funko POPs of your favorite character delivered right to your door, rather than having to find a specialized shop or, more expensive yet, having to commission a figure to be made. Another argument is that it is Funko’s commitment to its style which has gained such a following. The distinctive shape and style of a Funko POP can be recognized a mile away, and the oversized design of the heads never fails to make any character look adorable.

With all this being said, the true genius of Funko POP is that they have managed to secure all the right merchandising licenses. For example, by securing the deal with Marvel, Funko has been able to tap into their vast and loyal network of fans, giving them a captive audience for their next figures, and, furthermore, with each new addition to the MCU comes a whole new range of fantastic POPs.
