Where can I get some comic book action figures and models?
I am looking for some comic book action figures. Also I am interested in getting the comic book models that you have to assemble and paint yourself. Does anyone know of a website where you can get these from?
I have to agree with retmil that “Entertainment Earth” is one of the best sites out there for toy collectables, simply becuase they offer items from many different manufactuers.
As for models, that’s getting harder. Ten to twelve years ago, one could walk into a comics / hobby shop (or even Toys R Us) and find models based on superhero or sci-fi subjects. Now it’s tough to find models anywhere other than a hobby shop and when you do, they are traditional cars, planes, and ships.
Many companies that used to make superhero kits have gone out of business or stoped making models. You might want to check ebay and try companies like Horizon, Toy Biz, Halycon, Polar Lights or Aurora. You might also want to check various hobby sites on the web and see what they still have from these companies…it may be cheaper.
There’s several sites out there that offer kits produced on a limited basis or that remake older kits from the past. “Monsters in Motion” is a site I check into from time to time for such items. (Beware, some of these get pricey)
“Cult TV Man” is another good one.
If you’re at a bookstore, “Amazing Figure Modeler” is a great magazine that is entirely about figure kit building. Hope this helps!.
