Just Who Is This Masked Marvel?
As I’ve often said, the Spotlight on Snoopy series was the one Hallmark series I’ve been collecting for much longer than I’ve officially been collection Hallmark ornaments. So I’m always looking forward to seeing what Snoopy and Woodstock are up to each year. And this year…wait a minute. We don’t have Snoopy. We have the Masked Marvel instead!
Okay, so the Masked Marvel is one of the personalities that Snoopy has taken on over the years. Usually, when he dons this mask, he’s going to do some feat of athletic prowess. Or at least pretend he can do one.
And that’s the persona we get for this year’s ornament. Snoopy is standing with his arms outstretched almost like he is flexing his muscles. His mask is on, and he’s wearing a red cape, something he doesn’t always wear as this character. I’m glad they included it here since it adds a bit more to the ornament and provides a fun splash of color. Naturally, Woodstock is similarly costumed, although his cape is green.
Honestly, I had forgotten about this character that Snoopy plays, but as soon as I started reading about him, his appearances came flooding back. I always prefer it when this ornament series highlights something from the comics, so I liked seeing that here. And seeing Snoopy in this pose is fun.
As usual, Snoopy is standing, so the ornament is solid enough to be set out to display. It helps that Woodstock is extending the base ever so slightly. Still, you’ll had to be careful since the ornament wants to tip back. It would take quite a bump to do that, but it could happen.
And you’ll find the series marker on Snoopy’s foot as always.
The ornament tips forward ever so slightly, but that’s not something you’ll notice when you hang it unless you are looking specifically for it.
This one might appeal most to die hard Peanuts fans, but they will love getting to add Masked Marvel to their collection. Even me, who forgot about this persona, thinks it is nice it was honored with an ornament.
Be sure to shine a spotlight on the rest of the Spotlight on Snoopy series.
