High-End Action Figure Collectibles - When Toys are No longer Toys

Action figures touch upon a lot of childhood interests. But every action figure is designed with the idea that a child might be playing with it. In recent years, however, action figure collectors have had more money to spend, and more companies have seen the potential for a new market of collectibles that aren't intended for children at all. Busts, statues, and scale figures bring high-quality versions of childhood heroes to life, while other collectibles have mature themes and are meant to be sold only to adults.

They also produce statues and maquettes that are meant to be displayed. All items are produced in limited numbers, adding to their desirability.
