Toys
|
The toy
collector has a vast array of toys that can and are
collected. A toy is usually an object for playing,
although in today's world some toys are made for
collecting, and are not for playing at all. Historical
many toy objects have been in archaeological finds. Toys
such as dolls or soldiers for playing, but also small
tools to teach the child how to perform grown-up
chores.
Today toy action figures marketed
during the 1960s have become extremely collectible,
especially in an unopened package in mint condition.
Included here are the soldiers and sailors, cowboys and
Indians, space men and the spies that populated the
action figure world from 1964 to 1969.All product lines
of all the major action figure toy manufacturers of the
day from Hasbro and Mattel to Marx and Ideal are heavily
collected
GI Joe, Captain Action, Johnny
West, Major Matt Mason, Johnny Hero, and James Bond, of
movie and TV characters, of fantasy figures, He-Man*t,
the Thunder Cats*t, super heroes, of those ever-popular
quick change artists of the robot world--the
Transformers*t, and even pro-wrestling fanatics will
find toy figures that were produced during the 1980s are
now very collectible.
Toy give -a-ways from
Arby's and Burger King to McDonald's, Wendy's and White
Castle have become highly collectible today. And we
can't forget the prize found in every box of Cracker
Jacks, which you can still find in the boxes today.
