Action figures are often based on a movie, comic book, and video game. Action figure was first introduced by Hasbro in 1964 to market G.I. Joe figures to boys. Although action figures were target to boys originally, now collecting action figures become a fun hobby of many adults. Another reason it becomes popular among adults is action figures can be great financial investment and many of them worth hundreds or even thousands of dollars.

 

There are a few places you can look for action figures. The first place will the toy store or toy sections of big retailers like Target. Another popular place is the web. You can find a lot of web sites that specialize in action figures and offer action figures that usually not easily are found in stores. You can also check out garage sales and flea markets. You might find very good deals at gargage sales and flea markets because often the sellers don’t have good idea what they have. But keep in mind shop carefully or you might end up with a huge collection but worth little.
