Like all Stan’s stories, this pop comes with a great one as well. This was purchased at Stan Lee’s LA Comic Con 2017 at his authorized booth. There are 12 custom red chrome pops, silver chrome, and blue chrome. This is #1 of 12 of the red one as you can see on the EXCELSIOR certificate of authenticity. I was the first one in line to buy this at the booth.
So here’s the background on this pop. In 2016 Stan had signed these pops, the ones in red. However, an artist took these pops and did a custom chrome job of red, silver, and blue ones. Look closely these pops are not chrome of the same color, like most recent chrome Batman’s or Marvel ones. Check out the glasses, the cape, and the rest of the body, each has a different color, which means each piece had to be carefully taken apart, chromed, then put back together. This is a true art piece and not just any “regular” autographed pop by Stan.
Let’s face it, Stan was a prolific signer throughout his legendary career. So a autographed Stan Lee item isn’t that rare. However, if you have been keeping up with his life’s story, then you will know that the last couple years of Stan’s life had been rough. He was put through these hours long signing sessions and people were telling him how to sign his name towards the end. It’s sad but the fact during the last couple of years his signature had been getting less and less legible.
This piece of art comes with a very nice red signature that’s clear and recognizable. If you are a true Funko pop collector and a Stan Lee fan, then this very limited and legendary piece could be the highlight of your collection.
Will ship in hard stack and double boxed with bubble wrap. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions.
Thank you for your consideration. A portion of proceeds from this will be donated to the Stan Lee Foundation, which promote diversity, national literacy, culture and the arts.
Thank you, Stan for bringing the magic of imagination and creating the world of Marvel for so many around the world. So happy that you’ve reunited with your wife.
