Classic Marvel Figurine Collection #28: Mr. Fantastic

The Fantastic Four are Marvel's first ever superhero team, which paved the way for the comics publisher to be what it is today. Although they are the first ever team to debut, it is unfortunate that the family are surpassed by Marvel's other teams like the Avengers and the X-Men in terms of popularity.

In the Marvel universe, Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic, is considered be one of the most intelligent humans along with Tony Stark and Hank Pym. Click more for the on-hand photos of Reed Richards, AKA Mr. Fantastic.

The Silver Surfer is the most famous herald of Galactus. He is not outright a supervillain even though he is a herald of the world devourer, and actually has helped out a lot of Marvel characters in the past. Over the years he has gained quite a following among comic book readers, and became one of Marvel's most popular characters.

Classic Marvel Figurine Collection #15: Thor

After years of searching, I finally got a hold of myself Thor's figurine. I started collecting these figurines around 2008 and Thor was a very hard find. I don't buy online so comic conventions and local specialty stores are the only options for me for acquiring these things.

I said before that I'm gonna lay low for a while from collecting CMFC whenever I get Thor so that's what I'm gonna do, although I'd get Punisher, Scarlet Witch, and the soon-to-be released Giant Man when I see them.

Now that I have Thor, the core members of the Avengers are finally complete! Onto the pictures!

Classic Marvel Figurine Collection Special: M.O.D.O.K.

Non-comic book fans usually have no idea who this guy is. However, M.O.D.O.K. suddenly had a surge of popularity. He frequently appeared in Marvel's web series called "Marvel Superheroes: What the-?!" as comic relief. You guys should check out that series. It's pretty funny.

Although that webseries gave him some decent exposure to casual readers, I think being included in the cast of Marvel vs. Capcom 3 gave him a boost in popularity. It's surprising to see him get included in the game, but I think Marvel wanted him there.

I didn't get the first Captain Marvel (Genis-Vell) lead figurine Eaglemoss released a few years ago because I'm not familiar with that version of him. And I was actually wondering why they chose him for the Captain Marvel figurine. But after a long wait, fans of the most well-known Captain Marvel in the Marvel universe will rejoice now that Eaglemoss has finally released Mar-Vell. I was actually waiting for this one, too.

Now my Marvel cosmic characters Black Bolt, Gladiator, Thanos, Galactus, and Beta Ray Bill will have another friend to be displayed beside them. Hit the jump to see the pictures.
