When action figures started to win the heart of children, it was thought that these would be limited to those kids only. With the passage of time, it has been found that adults also enjoy their time with these toys. People of all ages like to collect them and get pleasure playing with them.
Though both children and adults collect the figures, they may not have same inspiration and interest. Adults may collect them as collectibles. Children may want to play with them and so they need them. So, we should not be confused about this.
If you are not prepared to spend a lot of money on figures, you can choose an open box type. Otherwise you may go for pristine packaged action figures. You can buy a mint condition one.
To a child the strengthened packaging may not be of real value. He may like to have it close without any plastic covering on the figure. Enjoyment matters.
In case of breakages, some people take more precaution. They buy two copies of one figure. Expensive, isn't it? Still, to preserve one piece, some people spend some more money.
If I ask you to tell the names of most popular action figures, you will speak of Superman, Star Wars, batman and Ninja Turtle etc. These classic toys may cost you one to two hundred dollars at a resale value in some special cases.
A new toy can be purchased at the price range between twenty and thirty dollars. A toy which moves and more accessories attract people more whether it is being collected for keeping it as collectible or for playing with it. Cost also varies accordingly.
There is one psychology about the action figures. Any contemporary figurine, for example, Barak Obama figure, may become very popular and even expensive for the time being but in the long run it does not attract much attention.
