Gentle Giant Marvel Bust collectors went into San Diego Comic-Con 2013 with certain expectations for what characters we might see added to the Marvel Mini Bust line, with certain heavy-hitters like Thor: The Dark World busts and Iron Fist and so forth in mind. What actually debuted at SDCC is a bust I suspect no one was expecting: the Gentle Giant Zombie Magneto Marvel Zombies bust! It’s only been a couple months since the reveal, but the exclusive Marvel Zombies Magneto bust will be up for sale in just one week at New York Comic Con 2013!
Marvel Zombies tend to skeeve me out in general, and while I can deal with the Marvel Zombies Minimates, the gory detail of the high-end Gentle Giant Zombie Magneto bust was way too gruesome for me. That’s why I didn’t pay a whole lot of attention to the Marvel Zombies Magneto mini bust when it was revealed in San Diego during the summer, and totally missed out on the detail that it was the first announced 2013 New York Comic Con exclusive by any company!
While this obviously isn’t an item for me, I’m pleased to see another Marvel NYCC 2013 exclusive item announced. This year has been very light on NYCC Marvel exclusive collectibles, so every new addition announced is a good one, in my opinion. The Marvel Zombies Gentle Giant Zombie Magneto bust is a bit pricy at $99, but given the tremendous amount of sculpting detail on the bust, that price really isn’t out of line–especially with a super-limited edition size of just 300 produced!
The Gentle Giant Zombie Magneto Bust will be available exclusively at New York Comic Con 2013 next week. The Marvel Zombies Magneto Mini Bust will cost $99 and be available at the Marvel Shop Booth (Booth #1354) while supplies last. With just 300 pieces available at the event, I have a hunch that this particular Gentle Giant Marvel Bust will actually sell out at the event.
Who out there is excited for the grisly goodness that is the exclusive Marvel Zombies Magneto bust?
