Finding Out About Marvel Action Figures

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.

Years ago it was very unlikely that comic books would feature a female with great strength and power. Everyone knew about the DC creation named Wonder Woman but they had never heard about the "Invisible Girl." As time went on this particular female has become quite popular and she is well loved by everyone. A toy group called Mego was brave enough to produce a doll which looked exactly like the Invisible Girl.

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.

Stan Lee was quite disappointed when the movie "Thor" came out several years ago. The producers failed to include the super hero's alter ego who was named Dr. Donald Blake. Fortunately many fans from the past remember Dr. Blake and they were glad when Mego produced a Thor doll. He is one of the most expensive Mego products on the market.
