Demolition Man 1993 Action Figure Line
 Hopefully everyone has seen the 1993 Sylvester Stallone film Demolition Man and enjoyed it thoroughly. Some may not know of the action figure line that was released to coincide with the film. This line is not an expensive line to complete and is small enough that tracking all of them down will not take a lot of time. It also had the luxury of being able to re-use the molds from the New Adventures of He-Man figures within its own line. read more

As I walked in with her, I looked up and there it was, the Mego Elastic Hulk, an entire row of them for 12.99 each!! read more

No figures had such "collectability" as Star Wars, we could write a complete book on them alone, so instead lets take a look at the less known lines of 3 ¾ figures that started in the late 70s. read more
Remco - Knock Offs Done Right!
 Remco was best known for their AWA All Star Wrestlers, Crystar, Karate Kid, Mantech and Universal Monsters action figure lines, but throughout the 1980s had released many other action figure lines not as widely known, which are becoming more popular with collectors today.
