Affiliate Link – Marvel Classic Character Dr. Strange Statue

While I was at San Diego Comic Con earlier this year I snapped photos of Dark Horse’s series of Marvel Classic Character statues (pics here) and pretty much decided then that the Iron Man statue in the series would be mine.

Well, even though I’ve yet to get an Iron Man I see that isn’t slowing Dark Horse down; this Marvel Classic Character Dr. Strange Statue* is now up for pre-orders at Entertainment Earth and is set for release in January. Wow, Dr. Strange looks weird without a cape. I guess being surprised by this design just demonstrates how very little Dr. Strange I’ve read over the years.

(And maybe it’s just me, but that character design and illustration on the tin really reminds me of Mike Mignola’s work. Looks like I need to dig into some sixties Dr. Strange to see if the artwork helped influence Mignola’s style.)

The 1960s brought a cultural upheaval in music and art, with a host of new icons entering the scene: The Beatles, Andy Warhol, and of course, Marvel Comics, led by a host of characters that redefined modern comic books. Now, these characters will appear just as they did then, in a new line of collectible statues from Dark Horse Deluxe. The fifth in the series is none other than the mysterious Dr. Strange! Stands approximately 5 1/2-inches tall. Comes packaged in a full-color tin, which includes a pin-back button and character booklet. Limited to just 2,000 pieces worldwide!
