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