Marvel Action Figures Are All Very Special

By Olivia Cross


Many people of all ages have grown up with a favourite toy, one that will never be forgotten. Whether one is a boy or girl the marvel action figures were always sitting on the shelves in bedrooms. There have even been movies made about these characters that everyone both young and old thoroughly enjoys watching.

One will need to place one of these next to a doll or figurine and see them all together. All figurines are normally small and sculpted with painted faces of certain characters. These have no moving parts at all. They cannot be posed and are generally moulded onto a base to keep them upright. Their sizes can range from six millimetres to six inches and if they are any larger are usually classified as statues.

Dolls are much larger than either of them and will normally come with clothes that can be removed. Depending on the make of doll they are able to be posed and can usually reach twelve inches in height or even taller. They are able to have different accessories such as hand held gear, hats, handbags and weapons.

Iron Man also has strength on his side as well as an arsenal of weapons. He will keep all the bad guys at bay and has the equipment to attach from above. He is made with signature armour and stands at thirty centimetres in height. Unfortunately this item cannot be bought on line but only in selected toy stores.

Many collectors will argue that the G. I Joe figures can be classified as action or as a doll, as the first one stood about twelve inches in height and the clothes could be removed and interchanged. It was originally designed so that boys could also have a "doll" to play with. In the end if one wishes to collect any of the above it will all depend on which makes one feel the happiest.

He eventually sold these figures for five thousand dollars to a cereal company where they were going to be inserted into breakfast boxes as giveaways. However the Hassenfeld Brothers, now known as Hasbro, offered him a better deal. Lerner together with the manufacturers bought the rights back for two thousand dollars more.

When Henry died in 1960 Merrill took over while his older brother carried on running the pencil making division. It was to become known as the Empire Pencils. One year later they opened up a branch in Canada where they were asked to license a toy base for a television series. They decided that it was in their best interest to turn them down as they did not want to be tied down to something that had a potential to be short lived.

One can start by looking in the toy isles of toy stores but always keep in mind what your goal is. Websites that specialize in them will definitely only offer those in excellent condition and if any problem is found they will be willing to refund or exchange. Flea markets and thrift stores could also be a good place to pick them up but there is a chance the condition will not be of the best.
