Learning About The Marvel Action Figures

By Alta Alexander


Every young man who grew up during the 70's will more than likely have some small male dolls in their attic. Many of these statues were called marvel action figures and they are great to look at. A man named Stan Lee took the time to create all of these good characters which are well known throughout the entire world. During Halloween many young children will dress up like these characters while they are hunting for candy and other goods.

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.

Later on many other toy companies tried to copy this particular female hero but their statues were not as good. Mattel even tried to make one of their Barbie dolls look like the Invisible Girl. Unfortunately the doll was not unique in any way at all since she was just another Barbie doll dressed in a blue outfit. Luckily true toy collectors avoided this doll.

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.

Sales really went through the roof when Mego was smart enough to market their products within a television advertisement. This company also took the time to show their super hero collection in every comic book that was sold at the local book stores. They also displayed DC characters in many of these commercials.

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.
