Comic book fans go crazy whenever someone mentions "Thor, " "Captain America, " "The Invisible Woman, " "Spiderman, " "Mr. Fantastic, " "Storm, " "Conan" or the "Human Torch." They all know that these are some of the best marvel action figures that can be found around the entire globe.
Stan Lee knew he had a winner when he created "The Invisible Woman." Sue Storm is one of the members of the super team called "The Fantastic Four, " and the Mego toy company first introduced her likeness in a doll back in the 70's. This figure was eight inches tall and she came with removable cloth clothing. Many people did not purchase this statue when it was first created.
Unfortunately all of the little boys only wanted the boy dolls that were available and little girl preferred Barbie dolls over super heroes. Susan Storm was left alone in the toy store and eventually she was discontinued. Nowadays those same little boys are now grown men who would kill to have this particular statue.
Everyone around knows that Mr. Richards is her fantastic husband who can stretch himself into all different shapes. Mego went ahead to produce a Reed statue and he is also a great item that fans really admire. People get into bidding wars over the internet whenever a Susan or Reed doll goes up for sale. They are truly collectors items.
Even though Mego hit it right on the mark with their "Thor, " "Invisible Woman" and "Mr. Fantastic" dolls they really fouled things up with the super gals from DC. Each and every one of these women look the same and they do not even have mature looking faces upon them. It is well known that a certain writer wanted Mego to make the Susan doll exactly like her character in the books.
When Mego produced "The Fantastic Four" they did their best work on these items. "Conan" was lucky to be within this group since his doll is also a piece of glorious art. Some people like both versions of his statue. One version has long hair while the other one presents him with a shorter cut. The people working for "Classic TV Toys" are hoping that their Conan dolls will also sell well.
Decades ago Mego put more quality into their products since they thought very highly of their fans. The only dolls which failed the quality test were the super hero women from DC. Overall the bodies on these dolls are great since they seem to last for a lifetime. Anyone who has seen the movie "The Avengers" is already looking to purchase a "Thor" statue made by Mego.
Fortunately Mego also went ahead to produce "The Thing" and "The Human Torch" from the "Fantastic Four" series. The group would not be complete without these two unique characters. Many fans wish that they would have made the Torch's alter ego who is known as Johnny Storm. Some of the companies around today are making this particular item in order to please fans.
