Iceman Marvels Secret Wars Rarest Figure

Since Marvel and Gentle Giant have decided to release a 12 inch scale retro version of the famous Secret Wars line of figures, read about it here, we decided to look at the rarest figure from the original line.

Iceman is the rarest action figure in the Marvel Secret Wars toy line. The figure was not sold in the United States. Iceman came from Europe and was not a part of the Secret Wars comics series from Marvel. At the time of Secret Wars Iceman has his own limited series run by Marvel, so this may explain why he was included in the action figure series.

The figure was a repaint of the Daredevil figure with Captain America's legs. Iceman is all one color, kind of greenish with a black belt. He comes with the standard Secret Wars shield.

The figure sells for more then most Secret Wars figures a AKA graded 8.0 is on eBay for $420. 

I have never seen on except on -line. 

Good Luck in Your Hunt!

Marvel Retro Secret Wars Figures coming soon

It seems fitting that Marvel comics would release Secret Wars figures this year, it being 30 years after the original series and figures hit the shelfs. Yes back in 1985 Secret Wars was the big thing.

If you don't know what Secret Wars was don't worry, we have you covered. Secret Wars 12 issue mini-series tat was also included cross-overs into most Marvel titles. It also introduced comic fans to the Beyonder. The Beyonder took some of Earths Heroes and its worst villians to an alien planet to study them, and watch them fight each other, truly fun stuff.

Marvel is releasing a new 12 issue mini-series titles Secret Wars again this year. It just makes sense that the toy line would follow with Gentle Giant being the first one to release figures. Gentle Giant creatung these figures based directly from these old figures.  They've digitally scanned the original Secret Wars figures and reproduced them in a larger, 12-inch scale. Resealable  containers will recreate the old Secret Wars packaging.

So far four figures are scheduled for release, Black Costume Spider-Man, Hobgoblin, Wolverine, and Magneto. It is important to note that the original Secret Wars Wolverine figure was the first one of the character ever released.

You can Pre-order the Spider-man figure for a cool $90. Keep an eye out for the others.

We will continue to provide news on the new Secret Wars line and comics throughout the year.

Good Luck on Your Hunt!
