Marvel Action Figures Are Great

By Alta Alexander


Adult males are not ashamed of their great toy collections which are displayed within their homes. They all know that marvel action figures are quite popular and they are also worth a great deal of cash. For years people have been trying to find super hero dolls which came dressed in cloth costumes. Fortunately these items can easily be found over the internet. Someone who loves Stan Lee will try to purchase all of his great characters from the past and present. Mr. Lee is a smart man who knew how to create great role models.

"The Invisible Girl" has been a part of the Stan Lee universe for quite a long time and she is very beautiful. Mego created an eight inch doll of this character back in the 70's and she is now worth a ton of money. Her face sculpture is very unique since her eyes seem to glow in the dark. Her blue outfit looks very similar to the one within the comic books.

Unfortunately Mego was the only company who could advertise her doll correctly. Other toy industries fail to capture her unique beauty and personality. These same companies enjoy using the same face for all of their female dolls since they do not like to create new head sculpts. The popular company named Mattel simply took a Barbie doll and dressed her in a Fantastic Four costume.

Luckily fans everywhere can now watch "Iron Man" in a live action movie which was created in Hollywood. These same fans may also have their very own Iron Man doll that was produced in the 70's by Mego. Even though the Mego creation of Iron Man is not that great he is still a collector's dream.

In order to please current fans Toy Biz created a new Iron Man doll which had a mask which could be taken off. Under the mask everyone could see the handsome face of the rich tycoon named Tony Stark. This particular doll was about nine inches tall and did not have the same style as the Mego creation.

"Mr. Fantastic" has to be one of the best looking male statues which Mego made during their best times. This is one character who is married to the wonderful Invisible Girl. Within the comic books these two characters share an infant son and they reside in New York City. People who collect these figures enjoy displaying the two characters together at all times.

In order to promote their products Mego produced several commercials which introduced all of their super heroes. Many fans will notice that the DC characters were very common and did not display the same style as their rival comic book characters.

Last but not least everyone who is a true collector tries to get every statue which resembled the great "Thor." This is one God who looks very handsome in every possible way. Fortunately Mego was smart enough to give him long rooted hair instead of a plastic head. The Invisible Girl, Thor and Conan were the only figures from Stan Lee which had realistic hair. The later versions of Thor were also created by Toy Biz and they do not have real hair. Many toy companies have now become cheaper when they create these popular figures. Nowadays retailers do not care about the quality of these dolls.
