I’m curious if anyone has ever done this before: per a report at Action Figure Insider, Cryptozoic Entertainment is showing off a cool miniature recreation of a vintage comic book spinner rack, complete with faux minicomics from DC Comics. Check out the image:
Now, in this case, it only holds the smaller “comics” it comes with and can be bought in blind bags — per the report, they’re just for display purposes and can’t actually be opened and read. It’s still pretty cool, but it kind of makes you wonder why no one* is making actual spinner racks that fans could buy and use to display their creations. I know you can buy the modern equivalent, which aren’t really aimed at the consumer market, and classic comic racks show up on eBay, but why isn’t someone making recreations of comic spinner racks that hold real comics? Someone should get on that, pronto.
*I could be wrong that no one has ever done this, and would actually be happy to be proven wrong if it means they’re available somewhere.
Apparently they were showing a prototype of this at the ’16 San Diego con. Any idea of the suggested retail on this?
According to the listing Cryptozoic put on Amazon, it’s $100:
