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.

Action figures must have a certain amount of attitude to them and these are generally referred to as points of communication. They can be moved into many different positions and have many interchangeable accessories. Many collectors argue that they must be able to move the head and both shoulders. Their sizes can range from three inches to eleven inches and are only made from moulded plastic. This includes their clothes and any other addition.

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.

Wolverine is also a super hero with keen animal senses and has healing powers. He has the unique ability to fight off any disease and toxins. Because of his powers he never seems to age and his body is always in good condition He is a member of the Alpha Flight as well as the X-men and the Avengers.

When buying any of them always ensure that they are in their original boxes if possible and that they are sculptured well and the paint job is very good and clear. Do some research on fan forums and different sites as they will be very helpful in letting one know what is hot or what is not. Many people on these forums will go out of their way to steer one in the right direction once it has been established which figures to start collecting.

To add to their popularity there are now cups, water bottles as well as watches that are based on each of these super heroes. Boys T-shirts are always a very popular gift to give as well as pyjamas. Nothing is more exciting than being able to go to bed at night knowing that the print on ones top will keep one safe during the night and keep nightmares away.
