Finding The Best Marvel Action Figures

By Enid Hinton


Everyone living around the world knows all about "The Invisible Woman, " "Captain America, " "Thor, " "Mr. Fantastic, " "The Human Torch, " "The Thing, " "The Incredible Hulk, " "Spiderman, " "Conan, " "Storm, " and so many more. These are all marvel action figures that have been selling in local toy stores for decades. Fortunately there are so many people who love these characters and certain toy companies will continue to produce them.

A creative man called Stan Lee decided to invent a story about a family who takes a trip into outer space. After the four people are hit by cosmic rays they gain super hero powers. The female of this group is known as Sue Storm and she can now make herself transparent. A toy company called Mego liked the image of this woman and they decided to turn her into a lovely statue.

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.

Everyone around knows that Mr. Richards is her fantastic husband who can stretch himself into all different shapes. Mego went ahead to produce a Reed statue and he is also a great item that fans really admire. People get into bidding wars over the internet whenever a Susan or Reed doll goes up for sale. They are truly collectors items.

Even though Mego hit it right on the mark with their "Thor, " "Invisible Woman" and "Mr. Fantastic" dolls they really fouled things up with the super gals from DC. Each and every one of these women look the same and they do not even have mature looking faces upon them. It is well known that a certain writer wanted Mego to make the Susan doll exactly like her character in the books.

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.

It is sad to say that forty years ago the toy companies which produced these toys thought about quality first. All of their products are very durable and the body type is better than the ones made today. "Thor" fans can purchase a variety of his statues since they are constantly being produced every year. Thanks to a movie called "The Avengers" a certain toy company continues to manufacture "Thor" products.

"The Human Torch" is also a much sort after item produced by Mego. Johnny Storm brought comedy to "The Fantastic Four" and every fan loves this character dearly. Every person on the planet knows that if Mego had survived they would have made a Johnny Storm statue as well.
