Marvel’s diehard fan
Facilities manager shows off his superheroes collection.
BUKIT MERTAJAM: Ever since he was bitten by Marvel’s superheroes bug, facilities manager Muhammad Anis Fakhri’s collection has been growing each day.
The 34-year-old said he started collecting Marvel figurines as a hobby in 2010.
“Today, I have more than 140 in my collection,” he said during the Superheroes Collection Exhibition at Mydin Mall in Jalan Baru, which was held over the weekend.
He said superheroes inspire him to be stronger, to be a team player and to persevere.
“Some of my collection figurines are imported from the United States and Japan, and cost up to RM1,500 each.
“I have a room at home to store
them, but I decided to share it here to inspire others,” Muhammad Anis added.
Besides being an avid collector, Muhammad Anis also has an Iron Man suit which he wore to meet and greet fans at the event.
He was accompanied by other cosplayers donning the costumes of Spiderman and Star-Lord from the Guardians Of The Galaxy series.
Hundreds of visitors thronged the exhibition, which also saw 10 exhibitors selling various merchandise.
“Some of the collections here are rare, and having collectors showcasing their prized items makes the exhibition stand out from others,” said collector Mohd Anas Ali, 23.
