Comic book fans go crazy whenever someone mentions "Thor, " "Captain America, " "The Invisible Woman, " "Spiderman, " "Mr. Fantastic, " "Storm, " "Conan" or the "Human Torch." They all know that these are some of the best marvel action figures that can be found around the entire globe.
Decades ago a great man named Stan Lee introduced a certain woman who was shy and could easily turn invisible. Her name was Susan Storm and she is a very pretty blonde who is the only female member in a team named "The Fantastic Four." This group had Saturday morning cartoon shows and a good comic book which sold well at local book stores. A company named Mego decided to make a statue of "The Invisible Woman" after negotiating with the comic company. This statue would remain true to the book and come with washable clothing.
Little boys did not like the idea of playing with a female hero and they tried their best to avoid this particular toy. On today's market a brand new doll of Sue will cost a huge sum of money since she was so unpopular forty years ago. Mattel even tried to produce a likeness of this doll when the "Fantastic Four" movie came out.
Sue is married to Reed Richards who is known as "Mr. Fantastic." The Mego company was smart to create this certain item as well. Reed Richard's statue looks just like the comic book character and toy collectors everywhere try to bid on this item. He also sells for a high price if he is still new within his original package. Both Reed and Sue look exactly like the characters presented in the books.
Mego did not give the same care to their super hero women that were part of the DC line. Anyone around knows that all of their female characters look the same and only have different hair colors. In a way they were trying to save money when these statues were first produced and therefore they used the exact face over and over.
When Mego produced "The Fantastic Four" they did their best work on these items. "Conan" was lucky to be within this group since his doll is also a piece of glorious art. Some people like both versions of his statue. One version has long hair while the other one presents him with a shorter cut. The people working for "Classic TV Toys" are hoping that their Conan dolls will also sell well.
Decades ago Mego put more quality into their products since they thought very highly of their fans. The only dolls which failed the quality test were the super hero women from DC. Overall the bodies on these dolls are great since they seem to last for a lifetime. Anyone who has seen the movie "The Avengers" is already looking to purchase a "Thor" statue made by Mego.
Mego went on to make "The Human Torch" and "Thing" since every fan wanted all of the members from the "Fantastic Four" team. This company would have made even more money if they had decided to produce a Johnny Storm statue from this quartet. He is a fan favorite and every person around tries to make a custom figure of Johnny.
