Starwars Action Figures
Star Wars first took the world by storm back in 1977. More than 30 years later George Lucas’ Star Wars continues to captivate old and new audiences alike. Most of you can still even remember when you first watched Episode IV: A New Hope or how old you were when Episode I: The Phantom Menace showed in the cinema. Some of you even remember what your parents’ stories when the first trilogy went on screen. Simply put Star Wars is without doubt one of the greatest stories of our age, an enduring face of Science fiction in our time – hopefully in the years to come.
While most things science fiction tends to be considered geeky, Star Wars has moved Science fiction into the main stream. While most Science Fiction memorabilia are merely considered as toys, such is hardly the case for Star Wars action figures. Star Wars action figures are often considered to be very viable collector material whose value increases dramatically over time. the mere fact that the Star Wars franchise continue to expand the story and succeeding in capturing the imaginations of generation after generation of people – that means five, ten or even twenty years from now there would be people looking for authentic pieces of Star Wars history. Enter your Star Wars action Figure, your own piece of the grand story that happened a long time ago in a universe far far away.
Though action figures are generically considered as toys, they also serve as commanding desk designs or displays in your home. While placing an action figure of C-3PO on your work station might send a confusing message at best, most other figures would send a strong message saying you appreciate Star Wars and that you’re man enough that an action figure doesn’t look like a toy on your desk. You’d be surprised in the amount of interaction you can get over a mere action figure, most people have actually seen the film, most are fans of some degree or another. Don’t be surprised if your boss actually watched the original trilogy a long time ago in an era far, far away.
Star Wars action figures can be a solid investment especially for those into hardcore collecting. It is not uncommon for unopened action figure boxes to fetch a price far more than their original purchase price. For the rest of us these action figures could be just as cool or fun, nothing is more motivating than a figure of Yoda reminding us that do or do not, there is no try; or that classic Episode VI: Return of the Jedi Princess Leia figure (and no she is not wearing forest camouflage).
