Knowing All About Marvel Action Figures

By Patty Goff


Each and every year comic book people hold conventions that are held across the country. Many of the dealers at these conventions sell marvel action figures. They know that people are always willing to buy certain products that were made from the famous Mego company. Mr. Fantastic, Invisible Girl, The Thing, Hulk, Spider Man, The Human Torch, Conan and Thor are a few of the statues that have been made over time.

A great man named Stan Lee had the good sense to create a strong good looking chap called Thor. Thor was totally against all evil people and he tried his best to bring good into the world. He wears a unique costume which includes a long cape and helmet.

Thor was a blond character since this hair color was quite popular back in the 70's. The workers at Mego made him realistic looking since his hair was rooted and his clothing were made from cloth. The toy makers of today really do not put the same quality into this figure since his hair and everything else is made from one mold.

Another marvelous toy made by Mego is the beautiful and unique Invisible Girl. She is dressed in her blue costume which can also be seen in the Fantastic Four books. Her hair is also rooted and has a flip at the end of it. A version made by Mattel is similar to the other Barbie dolls and it is very generic looking. A business called Toy Biz made a statue of her which is very unrealistic in appearance. Whenever people see the Mego Invisible Girl doll they immediately think about her comic book husband.

Sue had a husband named Reed Richards and he was the leader of this fantastic group of individuals. Everyone at Mego knew that a Mr. Fantastic doll should be added to their list of super hero statues. Their version of Reed was also realistic looking and he is very valuable on the current toy market. Toy Biz tried to make their own image of Mr. Fantastic but it does not have the same quality as the Mego brand doll.

The Incredible Hulk is another legendary character who has been around for decades and people still enjoy buying his image. There are many versions of this creature which are made from different toy industries. Once again Mego introduced the best version of the Hulk since he had removable clothing. His clothes were molded onto his body whenever other toy people created this figure.

Young men really looked up to the character of Spider Man since he was a person who was actually weak during his civilian life. There were many cartoon shows based upon this character and all of them were very successful. The people with Mego made a figure that was identical to this television and comic book legend.

People who lived during the 1970's were happy since they could take Spiderman's clothes off and throw them into the washing machine. Spiderman could also interact with two of his enemies that were sure to do damage to everything around. Mego created The Lizard and Green Goblin during the same time period as Spiderman.
