Custom shadow box for 3.75 Marvel Legends

Thanks to there being so many $5 3.75 Marvel Legends figures at Dollarama, I decided to make a shadow box for the Avengers members for my son. I found an old frame at a thrift store, painted it and changed the backing so that the figures would fit inside and show off the artwork from their packaging. Hopefully he likes it.

Nice work! Hope he loves it!

How did you end up fastening the cards in place?

Thanks. I used double sided tape. It’s called Alien Tape I picked up from Walmart a while ago

Re: Custom shadow box for 3.75 Marvel Legends

I’m hoping to find a mint carded Ice Man so I can make a smaller version for Spider-man and his Amazing Friends since I was lucky enough to find both Spidey and Firestar at Dollarama.

I like the artwork on the cards, so doing something like this with the Avengers related characters for my son has been something I wanted to do once the figures started appearing at Dollaramas so frequently. Certainly much easier to accomplish when the bulk of the figures were only $5 a piece
