Knowing About Top Toys For Boys

By Rebecca Adams


The world is filled with males of all ages and so many of them are very curious about new gadgets and products which are currently sold on the market. The top toys for boys were created by some of the best toy industries around the globe. Luckily human beings can find great older products for a fair amount of money.

All of these toy companies have since gone out of business but their items can still be located over the internet. Fortunately many of the items can be found in perfect condition while others may have some wear and tear. In the 70's a toy company named Mego was the first industry to introduce eight inch figures which resembled the characters from DC and Marvel comic books.

Mego took it upon themselves to create female dolls of Farrah Fawcett and other pretty young women who were within the public eye during the 70's. Some of these women statues are now very valuable and hard to obtain since they are so rare. Males will usually collect these women characters more than females. Nowadays the Batman, Aquaman, Superman, Spiderman and Robin figures are much easier to buy.

Each item proved to be very popular for young men from the ages of eight years old and up. The products from Mego were very unique since they set a new style during the 1970's. No other toy company had dared to make statues of the good and bad characters from the comic book industry. Even in today's society people are still fascinated by these small dolls which represent the entire super hero universe.

Mego would have survived much longer if they would have taken the offer to create "Star Wars" products once this great movie came to America. After viewing the film many males wanted a Hans Solo or Luke Skywalker figure to place on their table at home. Instead Mego went after "The Black Hole" license and this was a big mistake on their behalf. These items eventually ended up within the discount bin at every retail store.

Fortunately Kenner was able to gain large amounts of cash after making a deal with the producers of "Star Wars." The actors from the film had their likeness placed upon the twelve inch statues which would be purchased by shoppers who visited their local hobby stores. This great twist of fate helped Kenner to remain successful for a few good years before they were sold to another company.

Radio Shack was another great company which managed to sell great items to males of all ages. They were good at retailing electronic items which could amuse someone for hours. Their remote control cars and trucks became very popular during the past twenty odd years.

The military has also come out with special gliders and other airplanes which are usually sold at aircraft shows which happen at certain locations. At Fort Benning Georgia the staff is always willing to put on an action show which will feature these flying products before the actual show begins.
