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.
A creative man called Stan Lee decided to invent a story about a family who takes a trip into outer space. After the four people are hit by cosmic rays they gain super hero powers. The female of this group is known as Sue Storm and she can now make herself transparent. A toy company called Mego liked the image of this woman and they decided to turn her into a lovely statue.
Little boys did not like the idea of playing with a female hero and they tried their best to avoid this particular toy. On today's market a brand new doll of Sue will cost a huge sum of money since she was so unpopular forty years ago. Mattel even tried to produce a likeness of this doll when the "Fantastic Four" movie came out.
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.
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.
"Conan" came out around the same time as the "Fantastic Four" statues. Hollywood went on to produce several movies about this character but the latest one was a huge flop. When "Conan" was first introduced he had long hair and later on Mego decided to give him shorter locks. "Classic TV Toys" has decided to remake this doll for the people who cannot afford the original item that was produced years ago.
In the end Mego made sure that the fans were truly satisfied with their items and they even wanted to make "Isis" with a realistic face. Unfortunately this never happened. Aside from all of this drama fans are still happy with the way that "Thor" turned out. He stands tall with his shining helmet upon his golden hair. "The Avengers" movie has made the price of the Mego "Thor" go higher than usual.
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.
