The lift of the Lootcrate - style service for nerdy merch has just have big with annunciation that Marvel and Funko are teaming up on a Bi - monthly subscription serve to return toys and merchandise to your doorstep . But if you ’re a regularly collector of Funko ’s Pop ! Vinyls , you might not desire to get too aroused .
The loot deal is called the Marvel ‘ Collector Corps ’ , and each $ 25 corner , theme around a particular upcoming Marvel movie or comic case , will boast a T - Shirt ( one of 4 designs ) , 2 ‘ premium add-on ’ , and one Funko vinyl group toy . The temptingness of Marvel ’s subscription is that , unlike other subscription services of this ilk , every item in the box is 100 % single to the armed service . Not a stochastic variable of a wide accessible product – in fact , Funko themselves have provide such ‘ sole var. ’ to other subscription service , like Lootcrate – but a intersection that is straight up sole .
This is where it gravel problematic .
But on Twitter , Marvel ’s own Ryan ‘ Agent M ’ Penagos confirmed that no , the only place you’re able to get the Hulkbuster is now in this Collector Corps parcel :

First of all , it ’s kind of a cock move to reveal a Cartesian product and then later foretell that it ’s single to some other matter – but also , now what otherwise would ’ve been $ 15 is bundle into this $ 25 loge that you might not really want the sleep of . You ca n’t just go out and corrupt the Hulkbuster – which arguably was one of the popular unity people were looking ahead to – alongside the balance of the Age of Ultron Funko pop like you thought you could . It ’s even speculative if you ’re outside the US , as so far it does not seem like the service is usable anywhere but America at the moment ( and even if the US version can be embark worldwide , you ’re going to end up paying a heap more in full term of shipping ) . It just realise you wonder what people who do n’t signalise up will miss out on in the future . The software after the AoU one , for lesson , is base on Ant - Man – who ’s to say that suddenly someone like Yellowjacket or Hank Pym is dead only useable in this overhaul , and nowhere else ? I mean , if something like the Hulkbuster is worth lock away as an exclusive , no one else is really ‘ safe ’ .
It ’s a nerveless idea if you ’re more in it for the Marvel paraphernalia and have n’t really buzz off into collecting Funko ’s toy , but if you ’ve been collecting Funko ’s Marvel ware for a while , it seems like this Collector Corps service might start to leave some pestiferous holes in your collection .
