Marvel Action Figures Are Always Very Sought After

By Olivia Cross


Receiving toys is very common when growing up; it helps children of all ages to exercise their muscles as well as improve their coordination and balance. It is also vital when it comes to using their imagination and they tend to gain self-confidence as well. Marvel action figures have been around for many years and both boys and girls alike have spent endless hours acting out different scenes from their favourite television show or comic.

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.

The beginnings of this company started in 1923 with two brothers who were selling textile bits and pieces. As the years progressed they extended to making different school supplies as well as pencil cases. Three years after the founding of the company one brother left for another material company and the other, Henry took over. As the prices of producing pencils and pencil cases grew it was decided to make their own pencils and this became their source for future financial support.

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.

When World War 2 began they started making their plastic creations. Their first major hit was with the invention of Mr Potato Head and because of them two years later in 1954 they became a Disney licensee. The inventor of Mr Potato Head, George Lerner created this plastic face where one could use push pins to attach fruit pieced or vegetables changing the way kids thought of eating these foods into playmates.

Every collector will tell one that it is a very rewarding and extremely fun hobby. It makes one feel like a child again and will bring back great memories of favourite movies, comic books and even television shows. One must however buy very carefully as they can become an investment over time and they can be worth hundreds of dollars on the collectable market.

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.
