Spider-Man Statuette Kicks Off Dark Horse's New Marvel Syroco Line
CLASSIC MARVEL CHARACTERS #1:
SPIDER-MAN Statuette
(JUN110064U, $49.95)
Solicitation: 5 1/2" tall, limited to 2,000 numbered pieces
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 statuettes from Dark Horse Deluxe.
Beginning with Spider-Man, the program will continue with two alternating series: Classic Marvel Characters and the Fantastic Four.
Appeal: Dark Horse’s statuettes are inspired by figurines developed in the 1930s. Now highly prized by collectors, they were often used as advertising premiums featuring famous comic-strip characters. Now known as Syroco figurines, these statuettes are named after both the company that originally produced them and the woodlike resin material from which they were made at the time.
Dark Horse has already proven how in-demand these collectibles can be with its previous releases, including those featuring Disney, Kellogg's, Peanuts, DC, Archie, and The Simpsons characters. Fans of the classic look of Marvel's characters and/or those that have been interested in Dark Horse's previous Syroco releases should be interested in this latest addition to the line.
“I’ve collected Marvel comics since I was a kid,” Dark Horse President Mike Richardson recalled, “so I am really excited by this opportunity to add these terrific characters to our classic Syroco line. From the beginning, the goal of this program was to give a very unique treatment to the greatest characters in comics, and now we have the good fortune to work with the fine folks at Marvel on some of my absolute favorites.”
