Knowing All About Marvel Action Figures

By Patty Goff


Toy collectors everywhere are always anxious to get their hands on a new product that has become available within the stores. This is one reason that marvel action figures are so popular with many males. Some of these items have been around for decades since Mego first introduced them to the public. Everyone was able to purchase Thor, Invisible Girl, Mr. Fantastic, The Thing, The Human Torch, Hulk, Iron Man, Spiderman, Conan and many others from this particular company.

Everyone who reads comic books really enjoy the great looking character named Thor. He was first created by Stan Lee and is a fan favorite to many collectors throughout the world. Thor wears an unusual costume which comes equipped with a helmet and hammer.

Thor lets his blond locks flow freely across his broad shoulders and the women really go crazy over this image. Mego took great care to make Thor look as if he stepped right out of the comic book. Anyone can place a comb through the dolls long hair and they can even undress him if necessary.

The Invisible Girl has been around since the 60's and Mego was the first company to introduce her in doll form. This eight inch figure also had hair that was rooted and she was dressed in her usual Fantastic Four costume. Mattel made an image of this character in the late 90's after "The Fantastic Four" movie came out at movie theatres. There are many small versions of this figure made by a company called Toy Biz. When Mego created this figure they made her very similar to the character within the books.

Mr. Fantastic is the leader of the Fantastic Four group and he is a person that has the ability to stretch his body. Back in the early 70's people enjoyed purchasing his image through the Mego toy company. People today can always buy this small doll through Toy Biz. The arms on this particular smaller figure are able to stretch which is very unique. Whenever the movies are successful the toy companies will always produce more doll images for everyone to enjoy.

The Incredible Hulk is another legendary character who has been around for decades and people still enjoy buying his image. There are many versions of this creature which are made from different toy industries. Once again Mego introduced the best version of the Hulk since he had removable clothing. His clothes were molded onto his body whenever other toy people created this figure.

Spiderman is an iconic hero who has had his own television series and several movies throughout the years. Older people remember how excited they were when Mego came out with their version of this character. His face was carefully molded with a unique spider's mask but his clothes are removable.

Lucky children everywhere were very delighted to know that these particular clothes could be placed into the washer machine whenever possible. People should realize that this company also made eight inch versions of Spiderman's arch enemies The Green Goblin and The Lizard.
