Marvel Figurines

OK, I’ve been collecting these little Marvel figurines for a while. The characters come in a little plastic “egg,” are dispensed from a “Gum Machine,” and sell for a buck. Only I have duplicates.

I’ve been tapping machines located in my local comicbook shop, my local theater, and (just this past week), one located in Forbidden Planed in NYC.

Problem is (as stated) I have extras, and I’m still missing at least three that I know of (Doc Ock, “Backwards-leaning” Spidey and one as yet undermined figure from group #2 (I have all of the first set)



I understand that there is a new set coming out in December, so I really want to secure all of the figures from set #2 before the new set appears.



Anyone out there have one of these machines near you, and have figures that I don’t have?

Oh, as you can see, I have an extra Hulk from the first set, as well as extras from the current set (refer to the photos to see how many and of what figures). I’m willing to trade for rthe ones that I’m missing.

From a gum machine, these figurines do look like that is their source

Yep, that’s what I’ve been saying, only as there is no gum, I always feel a little bit silly saying it.
