Marvel Action Figures Are Great

By Enid Hinton


Comic book fans go crazy whenever someone mentions "Thor, " "Captain America, " "The Invisible Woman, " "Spiderman, " "Mr. Fantastic, " "Storm, " "Conan" or the "Human Torch." They all know that these are some of the best marvel action figures that can be found around the entire globe.

Stan Lee knew he had a winner when he created "The Invisible Woman." Sue Storm is one of the members of the super team called "The Fantastic Four, " and the Mego toy company first introduced her likeness in a doll back in the 70's. This figure was eight inches tall and she came with removable cloth clothing. Many people did not purchase this statue when it was first created.

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.

Mego did not give the same care to their super hero women that were part of the DC line. Anyone around knows that all of their female characters look the same and only have different hair colors. In a way they were trying to save money when these statues were first produced and therefore they used the exact face over and over.

This same Mego team went on to produce "Conan" who is truly a collectors item. He has a stern look across his face and comes in two different versions. In the 70's Mego decided to produce him with both long and short hair. A company called "Classic TV Toys" is now making a new copy of this statue but the quality is not the same.

Decades ago Mego put more quality into their products since they thought very highly of their fans. The only dolls which failed the quality test were the super hero women from DC. Overall the bodies on these dolls are great since they seem to last for a lifetime. Anyone who has seen the movie "The Avengers" is already looking to purchase a "Thor" statue made by Mego.

Fortunately Mego also went ahead to produce "The Thing" and "The Human Torch" from the "Fantastic Four" series. The group would not be complete without these two unique characters. Many fans wish that they would have made the Torch's alter ego who is known as Johnny Storm. Some of the companies around today are making this particular item in order to please fans.
