For years I've been accumulating Hallmark, pop-cultural ornaments (leapin' right in on those Christmas in July events each year at Diana's Hallmark in Hamilton, NJ), but have never done a review on any until now. There are just so many entries that my entire blog would be otherwise dedicated to them.
However, there are a couple 2018 submissions that seemed right for review, if only due to their ideal scale and the timeliness of their release. I'm referring to Ant-Man (aka Scott Lang), and the Wasp (aka Hope van Dyne).
Each Marvel figure is a smidgen under 5". Though Ant-man and the Wasp can surely shrink far smaller than that, their represented sizes are still tiny enough to hit a reasonable spot and yet big enough to convey their costumed detail.
The poses are ideal, too, with Ant-man running and the Wasp in ascending flight.
The Hallmark pop-cultural series started in '91 with the classic "Star Trek" Enterprise (now a coveted item among fans). From there, the company expanded into many other swell subjects, including the personalities of Marvel, DC and Filmation.
For those with a penchant for such colorful characters, Paul Rudd and Evangeline Lilly's alter egos are an excellent way to begin collecting--and a great way to commemorate the latest Marvel blockbuster.
