October Marvel Collector Corps Crate

The October Marvel Collector Corps crate theme was "Villains" and cost $45 USD, or about $70 NZD. This crate had a lot to live up to after the last one, lets see what we got.


The contents:
Shirt featuring several villains sketches
Comic
Morbius Pop!
Loki Dorbz
Venom keychain
Pin and patch

The shirt isn't too bad but is lacking colour. It is still a high quality shirt though and the grey is a nice change from the more common black ones from other boxes.

The comic is another variant cover. It seems like they were going with a Halloween theme a bit with this box as the cover incorporates zombie villains. The pin is of Green Goblin and the patch has Red Skull.


The figures on offer this time are a Morbius Pop, Loki Dorbz and Venom keychain. This is a pretty solid haul, 3 figures is pretty much what I want out of every box. The Loki and Venom are pretty cool, Morbius is a pretty odd choice though which points more strongly to the Halloween theme. Morbius is also the random drop in this box, he comes in zombie and normal forms.

I've spoken to a couple other people and the vibe around this box wasn't great. Some videos online say the same thing. I think this is definitely down to the Morbius Pop. If either of the pin or patch characters were swapped with Morbius I think people would have been much happier. As I said above, 3 figures is awesome, so I'm pretty happy anyway.

Value: A Pop and a Dorbz come in at $50, so with a shirt the value easily rises over the $70 spent.

The next theme is "Guardians of the Galaxy" which is awesome...

  1. Hi there, I was wondering what the price for shipping/handling and taxes were and how that affected the price on the box, As I'm thinking of getting one myself.
    Thanks.

    1. The base USD cost is $25, with $20 USD for shipping additional. There aren't any import costs or taxes when it arrives in the country.

      There has also been a DC version launched if that particularly peaks your interest, but as of yet there isn't an international shipping option. It is called Legion of collectors, you could probably use YouShop to get it though.
