Affiliate Link – Marvel Classic Character Series Captain America Statue

It has been a long time since I last thought about the series of Marvel character statues by Dark Horse (2011 San Diego Comic Con pics here), but now that I see the upcoming Marvel Classic Character Series Captain America Statue* it has me again thinking about the statues and how I should at least grab the Iron Man statue in the series. I’ll have to try to snap new pics of the line at SDCC next week.

The third release in this second series is considered one of the greatest comic book heroes of all time: Captain America. Created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in 1941, Cap became one of the most popular and inspirational characters of World War II. After fading away in the 1950s, Captain America was revived during the 1960s Marvel explosion by Jack Kirby and Stan Lee in The Avengers #4, released in March 1964. He has been a mainstay of the Marvel line ever since. A limited edition of 750 pieces. Packaged in its own tin box, with a pin-back button and character booklet, this syroco-style Marvel Classic Character Series 2 #3 Captain America Statue is awesome!
