These Funko figures are working hard to draw me back into the collecting hobby. I bought Superman and an Elvis several years ago and then swore off of the line. This past Christmas I went to a local hobby store to locate a Captain America for a gift for someone. Didn’t find Cap but found Dark Phoenix and She-Hulk were both on sale at 50%. That’s all it took.

The X-Men, FF, and FF foes are strongly pulling me in even harder.

I'm not a fan of the character -- but I do find this figure's design appealing...

The picture of HERBIE on the back of Doom’s box has “him” more accurately proportioned.

I've seen that HERBIE in person and the itty-bitty body kept me from buying him. Disappointing.

The Funko Collector's Corp for this month is an FF box. Alternate pose for Reed and glow-in-the-dark Torch.

A history of Aurora, Monogram and Revell models. Informative, and actually brought a tear to my eye a couple of times.

To followup on Andrew's post... for those interested in the States, this one appears to be a Barnes & Noble exclusive, saw it in the store yesterday.

These still aren't my cup of tea, but obviously plenty of people love these things!  (No pun intended...)

A few more and I’ll be able to make an “Everyone verses Galactus” diorama!

I originally intended to only buy Captain America figures, but with the recent release of Funko's 80th Anniversary First Appearance lines I felt a wave of nostalgia and decided to buy the Original Human Torch, Namor and Marvel's first characters from the 60s (except for Dr. Strange who I don't have a real connection to).  The empty spot is waiting for my ordered Spider-Man first appearance design.  I also bought Nova because I have always liked his uniform design since he was first introduced.  , especially the helmet.
