Marvel Action Figures Are Great

By Patty Goff


Each and every year comic book people hold conventions that are held across the country. Many of the dealers at these conventions sell marvel action figures. They know that people are always willing to buy certain products that were made from the famous Mego company. Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Girl, The Thing, Hulk, Spider Man, The Human Torch, Conan and Thor are a few of the statues that have been made over time.

Thor is a handsome character who is stronger than many of the characters that were created by the Stan Lee comics franchise. Stan Lee really had a winner when he first drew this mighty looking God who could control the weather and other things with his hammer. Many villains would run away from this powerful male and his tools of destruction.

Thor was a blond character since this hair color was quite popular back in the 70's. The workers at Mego made him realistic looking since his hair was rooted and his clothing were made from cloth. The toy makers of today really do not put the same quality into this figure since his hair and everything else is made from one mold.

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.

His name is Reed Richards and he is part of the group known as the Fantastic Four. This man is also know as Mr. Fantastic and his name fits him very well. The original Reed Richards doll was introduced by Mego and it is a true classic. He is dressed in his blue outfit and has molded boots and gloves. Toy Biz used the same face of their Peter Parker doll when they created Mr. Fantastic.

A big green giant named the Incredible Hulk was also added to the Mego toy list. This statue was based upon the popular television series which aired within the United States. The figure wore a pair of ripped shorts and he had a very ugly grin across his face. Later productions of this toy came in a smaller version and they were also made through Toy Biz.

Young men really looked up to the character of Spider Man since he was a person who was actually weak during his civilian life. There were many cartoon shows based upon this character and all of them were very successful. The people with Mego made a figure that was identical to this television and comic book legend.

Mego made sure to produce two major characters who did not like Spiderman. The Lizard was a man who turned into a dangerous reptile at certain times and he was quite dangerous. The Green Goblin was another foe who murdered Peter Parker's girlfriend. Young people enjoyed playing with these dolls and creating their own comic book scenes.
