How in the world has it been 10 years since Dark Horse Comics first teamed up with artist Eric So release the “Hong Kong” Hellboy vinyl figure!?! And why has it taken so long for Dark Horse and Eric to team up again to release a new comic book inspired figure? Eric So’s Hellboy is a art toy classic, and incredibly hard to find. So collectors better not sleep on his newest collaboration with Dark Horse, Marv from Frank Miller’s Sin City!
This limited edition oversized vinyl figure of Marv is more of a re-invention than a reproduction. While it is clear that Miller's graphics inform the piece, it is more of a signpost along the way than the end of the journey. The Eric So touches abound from the detailing of the trench coat to the sharp angles and odd proportions of the character's features. As we all know, Marv knows how to take a punch, and has the bandages to prove it. Dark Horse is providing a pack of band-aid style stickers with each figure, and the collector can affix them to Marv as they like. What a cool accessory!
Sin City’s Marv Vinyl Figure by Eric So stands 13” tall and is limited to just 950 pieces. Collectors can pre-order one now from Entertainment Earth for $149.99 here.
