[Review] Factory Overrun Marvel Legends Civil War Black Panther

The Marvel Legends Civil War Black Panther figure has always been the most wanted from the Build-A-Figure (BAF) Giant Man wave. Even after so many months since its release, online resellers are still selling them for around $50-60 due to its high demand. But, luckily for those who aren't crazy enough to spend that kind of money, factory overrun Black Panther figures have started showing up in the Chinese market.

[Review] Marvel Collector Corps August 2016 Spider-Man Unboxing

When Funko revealed that the August box was going to be filled with Spider-Man goodies, I was tempted to get it (because who doesn't love him right?) but the price of getting an item as big as a MCC box imported to Singapore always got me thinking twice. However, seeing how amazing our recent boxes are (Civil War box and Squirrel Girl Pop! from Women of Power box), I decided to place my faith in Funko for an amazing Spider-Man box and damn did we get many Amazing (pun intended) Spider-Man items.

[Review] Bootleg/Knockoff S.H. Figuarts Iron Man Mark 43


I wasn't much of an online shopper until my sister introduced it to me early last year. Since then I've been shopping for many Marvel T-shirts and figurines until I chance upon the S.H. Figuarts (SHF) Iron Man Mark 43 bootleg at SGD$25 from China. The price of the original version is around $75.

[Review] Marvel Collector Corps April 2016 Civil War Unboxing

When I first saw the Marvel Collector Corps (MCC) Civil War ad on Facebook (and boy was I glad to see it), I knew it was a good time to buy my very first subscription box. The Marvel Collector Corps subscription box service is a themed bi-monthly box of 100% exclusive items from Funko. While it only costs USD$25 (USD$33 inclusive of shipping within US - SGD$45 after conversion), shipping the box of goodies to Singapore increases the price by half. Unfortunate for us, because we live on the other side of the Earth, I received my box 3 to 4 weeks later than people living in the US and at a price of $68. So, is it really worth it?

Welcome to Toy In A Box!

INTRODUCTION!

I'm a budding new toy collector from Singapore. With this blog, I will be reviewing certain toys from Marvel such as the Marvel Collector Corps subscription boxes, Marvel Legends and S.H. Figuarts. Through my reviews, I will talk about the quality and price of these toys from a Singapore-based collector's point-of-view.

The blog was named Toy In A Box because of how I'll be photographing the toys...
