I got into collecting Marvel comic busts a while back, and it’s been a wild ride. I started small, just picking up a couple of my favorite characters, like Spider-Man and Wolverine – the usual suspects. Then, before I knew it, my shelves were filling up, and I was hunting down limited editions and rare pieces. Let me tell you, finding some of these busts is like a real-life treasure hunt.
So, I kicked things off by browsing through online stores. After a bit of scrolling, I stumbled upon a few cool-looking Spider-Man busts. I’m a big fan of the classic red and blue suit, so I snagged one of those.
- Went online and browsed for Marvel busts.
- Found a classic Spider-Man bust and bought it.
- Waited impatiently for it to arrive.
When the package finally showed up, I ripped it open like a kid on Christmas morning. The bust was even better in person. The detail on the suit, the pose, it was all top-notch. I proudly displayed it on my shelf, right next to my growing collection of comics.
Expanding the Collection
After that first bust, I was hooked. I started digging deeper, looking for more characters to add to my collection. I discovered a whole world of busts I never knew existed. X-Men, Avengers, you name it. I even found some cool villain busts, like Magneto and Green Goblin.
- Started researching other Marvel character busts.
- Found busts of X-Men, Avengers, and even villains.
- Ordered a few more, including a Wolverine one that looked fierce.
Each new bust I added brought a new wave of excitement. I spent hours rearranging them, trying to find the perfect display setup. My friends started calling my place “The Marvel Museum.”
The Thrill of the Hunt
But the real fun came from hunting down rare and limited edition busts. I joined online forums, scoured auction sites, and even visited comic book conventions. It was a whole new level of collecting.
- Joined online communities of collectors.
- Searched for rare and limited edition busts.
- Attended comic book conventions to find unique pieces.
I remember one time, I found a limited edition bust of a comic named X-Men (Vol. 6) at a small comic book shop. The owner didn’t even realize what he had. I snatched it up for a steal. That was a good day.
I’ve also voted on some online polls, you know, like “Top 100 Marvel Comics Superheroes.” My boy Spidey was always up there, along with Wolverine and a bunch of others. It’s fun to see what other fans are into.
Collecting these busts has been a blast. It’s not just about having cool statues on my shelf. It’s about the memories, the hunt, and the community. And let me tell you, there’s nothing like the feeling of adding a new, prized piece to your collection.
It’s a constant back-and-forth between “This is amazing!” and “Where am I going to put all these?” But hey, that’s part of the fun, right?
Anyway, I just wanted to share my little hobby with you all. Maybe it’ll inspire some of you to start your own collections. Trust me, it’s a rabbit hole worth going down.
