If you’re a Marvel collector of refined tastes, there’s a new website just for you. Today Marvel announced a new platform called Marvel Made, one aimed at offering high-end collectibles directly to fans.
Built through a collaboration with ReedPOP, Marvel Made will offer collectibles through a combination of timed exclusives, limited run items and flash sales. Think of it as Marvel’s answer to the Mondo Shop.
The Marvel Made website is now live, with the first exclusive item being the Marvel Made Skottie Young Premier Bundle. Spotlighting Young’s iconic Marvel Babies artwork, this set includes 15 enamel pins of various pint-sized Marvel heroes and villains and a hardcover notebook with facsimile sketch art pages. The first 1000 orders will also include an exclusive variant of Excalibur #1 featuring a new Young cover. You can get a closer look at this set in the slideshow gallery below:

The Marvel Made Skottie Young Premier Bundle is priced at $199.99 plus tax and shipping. The set is limited to 2500 copies and will be available to purchase until August 7 (unless it sells out sooner). The Marvel Made site is also offering blind box sets for $30, which contain two random pins chosen from the 10-pin base set.
“Ever since we started the pin sets five years ago, it’s been so rewarding to see how excited fans get to see their Marvel Super Heroes come to life. I never expected these pins to take off like they did, and I’m floored each time they run out at a convention.” said Young in a statement. “As a comic book writer and artist, I love sharing my passion for comics anywhere I can, and I hope fans will feel the same when they get the chance to show off these new pins from Marvel Made!”
“Over the years, Marvel fans have gotten more and more excited to collect the high-end exclusive merchandise we offer at conventions, festivals, and other special events, and we’ve received more requests than ever from our diehard fans for more ways to celebrate the Marvel Universe,” said Mike Pasciullo, VP, Marvel Marketing & Communications. “Marvel Made is the next step in the evolution of our convention merchandise, which will expand that sense of community and deepen our relationship with fans – all while offering the same level of quality and exclusivity our fans know and love. We can’t wait to unveil the rest of these items in the coming months.”
