Memorabilia: 2002

• One of the biggest new games to hit the market this year was WizKids' HeroClix, a miniatures-based role-playing game. While the initial release didn't have any FF-related figures, the first expansion set was entitled "Clobberin' Time" and featured a number of Fantastic Four heroes and villains. Interestingly, FFPlaza.com's own Fantasti-Font was used heavily through-out the promotions and packaging.
• Maisto produced a series of Marvel die-cast vehicles. Included in the initial line-up were a Dr. Doom ambulance, a Human Torch Trailblazer, a Silver Surfer Panel Cruiser, a Thing Hummer H2 SUV, and a Mr. Fantastic DeVille DTS.
• Toy Biz began a series of "Marvel Legends" action figures that were characterized with excellent sculpting, as well as a high degree of poseability. Most figures had over 30 points of articulation! The second series of figures including the Human Torch, the Thing, Dr. Doom and the Sub-Mariner.
  
• Bowen Designs released, late in the year, a set of three mini-busts featuring the Human Torch, the Invisible Girl, and Mr. Fantastic. The set was created to accompany the previous year's Thing bust.
