eFx Collectibles, responsible for various prop replicas from big franchises such as Star Wars, Star Trek, and Battlestar Galactica, recently acquired the rights to create replicas based on Marvel Comics' properties. With the anticipation of the May 4 release of Joss Whedon's The Avengers, the first line-up of their replicas will be based on the costumes, weapons, and other items from the movie. Thanks to Comic Book Resources, below is the first image featuring the replicas of Captain America's helmet and vibranium shield, Iron Man's helmet, and Thor's helmet; as well as the press release from eFx's president, Bryan Ono.
"The Marvel universe is extraordinary, diverse and exciting - just like Marvel’s fans around the world, and we are really eager for them to see what we are creating with guidance and input from the Marvel team. Marvel’s comics and movies offer virtually endless possibilities for absolutely incredible prop replicas."
The site also added that the company is going to display these replicas at the
WonderCon event that will be held from March 16-18 in Anaheim, California. With the replicas expected to range in price from $49 to $1500, eFx Collectibles will offer the items through their
website and select retail stores.
