Marvel Action Figures Are Great To Have

By Ruthie Calderon


Many people living in America and other places like to collect toys that are really unique and expensive. Marvel action figures have been around for such a long time and any true collector would like to have these statues within their homes. Movies like "The Avengers, " "Fantastic Four, " "X-Men" and others have made each and every one of these dolls very popular among the fans.

Thor and the rest of Avengers have been living in the same city for decades. None of these fictional characters ever seem to age and they also get younger looking as the years go by. One particular toy industry named Mego wanted to make a replica of Thor many years ago. Their plan proved to be successful since the doll was so great looking. His hair was long and wavy and all of his clothing was unique.

Thor has the ability to communicate with the other Gods through his faithful hammer which also controls his powers. The Mego doll came with a hammer and helmet within the box. Whenever someone places this doll up for option in mint condition they can expect to receive loads of money.

In order to obtain more customers Toy Biz decided to produce a newer version of Thor which was not as good looking. This new version had a painted head and was smaller in size. It also looked very cheap since many toy companies believe in quantity not quality. Younger people born after the 70's had to settle for this poor imitation.

Some people like to collect all of the villains which are also written inside of these unique comic books. Some of the villains included Dr. Doom, Green Goblin and the Sentinels who were quite large. Any fan would love to own their very own Dr. Doom doll since he was the greatest foe of the "Fantastic Four." Doom was driven to madness by a lab experiment which went horribly wrong.

No true fan could forget the time that the Green Goblin murdered Peter Parker's girlfriend in cold blood. This is one villain that any human being would stay away from during their lifetime. There are quite a few statues which resemble the Green Goblin at each and every toy store. If someone is very lucky they are able to purchase a Green Goblin which was made by Mego.

The Sentinels are a group of giants who are constantly trying to destroy Professor Charles Xavier and the X-Men. These daring robots are at least twenty feet tall and they are very strong and dangerous. Many individuals know that Toy Biz created excellent versions of these monstrous villains many years ago.

The true toy collector will search high and low in order to buy a Spider Woman doll which was released many years ago. Spider Woman is not as popular as the Invisible Girl but she does have her moments. Decades ago ABC television produced an animated series named "Spider Woman." The show was not a great hit but people still enjoyed the style and glamour of this particular character. Nowadays her doll is almost impossible to get from local dealers.
