Marvel Universe Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads Wave 1

Marvel Pop! Vinyl Figure Bobble Heads - Spider-Man, Wolverine & Captain America

Solicitations for Funko’s new line of cute and chunky Marvel Universe Pop! vinyl figure bobble heads have finally hit the web, and Wave 1’s line-up is even better The Blot originally thought. Wave 1 includes Spider-Man, Wolverine, Captain America, Iron Man, The Incredible Hulk, and the Fantastic Four’s Thing. Did they pull out all the big guns or what? I love all the little details Funko included on these figures, but none more so than the Things’ big blue eyes. Cuz you know, he ain’t "The Ever Lovin' Blue-Eyed Thing" without them!

If The Blot had one complaint it would be the lack of female characters. Funko released 2 female figure in DC’s first 2 waves (Batgirl and Wonder Woman), and I would expect at least 1 in the Marvel’s first Wave. I’m also surprised we didn’t get a comic book version of Thor to go along with the soon to be released Thor Movie Pop! vinyl bobble head. I’m sure we’ll see one in Wave 2 though.

Each Marvel Universe Pop! vinyl figure bobble head stands 3.75” tall, has a rotating head and comes in a displayable window box. You can pre-order all 6 of these Marvel vinyl figure bobble heads from Entertainment Earth here for $9.99 each. Wave 1 is expected to hit store shelves in May 2011.
