Everyone living around the world knows all about "The Invisible Woman, " "Captain America, " "Thor, " "Mr. Fantastic, " "The Human Torch, " "The Thing, " "The Incredible Hulk, " "Spiderman, " "Conan, " "Storm, " and so many more. These are all marvel action figures that have been selling in local toy stores for decades. Fortunately there are so many people who love these characters and certain toy companies will continue to produce them.
Decades ago a great man named Stan Lee introduced a certain woman who was shy and could easily turn invisible. Her name was Susan Storm and she is a very pretty blonde who is the only female member in a team named "The Fantastic Four." This group had Saturday morning cartoon shows and a good comic book which sold well at local book stores. A company named Mego decided to make a statue of "The Invisible Woman" after negotiating with the comic company. This statue would remain true to the book and come with washable clothing.
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.
Sue is married to Reed Richards who is known as "Mr. Fantastic." The Mego company was smart to create this certain item as well. Reed Richard's statue looks just like the comic book character and toy collectors everywhere try to bid on this item. He also sells for a high price if he is still new within his original package. Both Reed and Sue look exactly like the characters presented in the books.
Unfortunately Mego really messed things up when they produced the super women who appeared within the DC comics. "Batgirl, " "Wonder Woman, " "Catwoman, " "Supergirl" and "Isis" all have the same baby doll look on their faces. Susan Storm is the only female figure that truly looks like an adult woman.
This same Mego team went on to produce "Conan" who is truly a collectors item. He has a stern look across his face and comes in two different versions. In the 70's Mego decided to produce him with both long and short hair. A company called "Classic TV Toys" is now making a new copy of this statue but the quality is not the same.
It is sad to say that forty years ago the toy companies which produced these toys thought about quality first. All of their products are very durable and the body type is better than the ones made today. "Thor" fans can purchase a variety of his statues since they are constantly being produced every year. Thanks to a movie called "The Avengers" a certain toy company continues to manufacture "Thor" products.
Mego went on to make "The Human Torch" and "Thing" since every fan wanted all of the members from the "Fantastic Four" team. This company would have made even more money if they had decided to produce a Johnny Storm statue from this quartet. He is a fan favorite and every person around tries to make a custom figure of Johnny.
