Marvel Collector Corps

An official Marvel subscription box, MCC is bi-monthly, with each box themed around a different character or franchise – usually whichever one happens to be in theaters around that time. They promise that every item is exclusive, and worth a total of about $50. They’re partnered with Funko, so if you love collecting those little POP figures (I might have… a bunch), this might be worth checking out.

Of course, February’s theme was Deadpool. I signed up a couple months in advance and have been excited to see what comes! It’s gotta be better than ComicCon Box, right?

Customization – Just the standard question: shirt size. The shirts are unisex.

What’s inside:

A small metal Marvel Collector Corps pin

An MCC patch

A Deadpool Funko POP-themed t-shirt (there are several colour variants; I got the reverse colours)

An exclusive variant cover of the first issue of Duggan’s Deadpool

A reverse colour Mopeez plush

A Dorbz figure featuring Wade with cowboy hat and stick horse

And a POP figure with included base

Exclusiveness and Uniqueness –

All seven items are exclusive to MCC. Sure, the pin and patch are nothing special, but they are cute enough.

The Mopeez eyes are embroidered, but his suit is painted on, so it may chip with time if played with.

The POP figure is in a refreshingly different pose than all the others.

The Dorbz is, well, adorable.

Literally the only thing I don’t love is the comic book, and that’s because it’s a Dugganpool book, but I can’t fault Marvel in the least for putting that in there, what with him being the current writer and all…

Theme –

The theme was very ‘Cutepool,’ if I may, so if you were expecting more ‘serious’ Wade styles, you might be disappointed. If you like cute stuff, though, you’ll be thrilled! As it happens, I love cute stuff!

Obviously, they did a great job of sticking to the theme.

Cost –

Each MCC box costs $25, plus shipping and handling, and promises a $50 value. How did this one stack up?

A Mopeez plush goes for about $8, and POP figures sell for around $10. The comic is estimated at about $5, and a Deadpool POP t-shirt sells for about $20. We’ll estimate the pin at around $2, and the patch at roughly $4. I literally just pulled those last two numbers out of my ass based on what I see in stores, and the total comes to $49, so I think it’s fair to say the box attains its promised $50 value!

Overall: I think it’s a great deal! I love just about everything in this box, and if MCC announces a theme for another character I adore (Squirrel Girl??), I wouldn’t hesitate to subscribe again.

ComicCon Box, take notes.
