Marvel Action Figures Are All Very Special

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.

Dolls are much larger than either of them and will normally come with clothes that can be removed. Depending on the make of doll they are able to be posed and can usually reach twelve inches in height or even taller. They are able to have different accessories such as hand held gear, hats, handbags and weapons.

Seventeen years after first opening they produced the first nurse and doctor toy kits as well as modelling clay. Two years later after the first toys reached the shelves they were basically a toy company. When Hillel died, Henry became the Chief Executive Officer and his son Merrill was advanced into becoming the president.

Many collectors will argue that the G. I Joe figures can be classified as action or as a doll, as the first one stood about twelve inches in height and the clothes could be removed and interchanged. It was originally designed so that boys could also have a "doll" to play with. In the end if one wishes to collect any of the above it will all depend on which makes one feel the happiest.

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.

The Spider-man figure is over nine centimetres in size and can be moved to any position. He has a red and blue costume and depending on the make comes with translucent webbing. He can climb walls and cling to any surface for long periods of time. He also has super strength and is very popular with boys of all ages.

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.
