Any young man around knows all about the lovely Susan Storm Richards. She is also one of the marvel action figures which can be found over the internet. People are also able to locate her husband, brother and best friend if they look hard enough.
A creative man called Stan Lee decided to invent a story about a family who takes a trip into outer space. After the four people are hit by cosmic rays they gain super hero powers. The female of this group is known as Sue Storm and she can now make herself transparent. A toy company called Mego liked the image of this woman and they decided to turn her into a lovely statue.
Little boys did not like the idea of playing with a female hero and they tried their best to avoid this particular toy. On today's market a brand new doll of Sue will cost a huge sum of money since she was so unpopular forty years ago. Mattel even tried to produce a likeness of this doll when the "Fantastic Four" movie came out.
Sue is married to Reed Richards who is known as "Mr. Fantastic." The Mego company was smart to create this certain item as well. Reed Richard's statue looks just like the comic book character and toy collectors everywhere try to bid on this item. He also sells for a high price if he is still new within his original package. Both Reed and Sue look exactly like the characters presented in the books.
Mego did not give the same care to their super hero women that were part of the DC line. Anyone around knows that all of their female characters look the same and only have different hair colors. In a way they were trying to save money when these statues were first produced and therefore they used the exact face over and over.
When Mego produced "The Fantastic Four" they did their best work on these items. "Conan" was lucky to be within this group since his doll is also a piece of glorious art. Some people like both versions of his statue. One version has long hair while the other one presents him with a shorter cut. The people working for "Classic TV Toys" are hoping that their Conan dolls will also sell well.
In the end Mego made sure that the fans were truly satisfied with their items and they even wanted to make "Isis" with a realistic face. Unfortunately this never happened. Aside from all of this drama fans are still happy with the way that "Thor" turned out. He stands tall with his shining helmet upon his golden hair. "The Avengers" movie has made the price of the Mego "Thor" go higher than usual.
"The Human Torch" is also a much sort after item produced by Mego. Johnny Storm brought comedy to "The Fantastic Four" and every fan loves this character dearly. Every person on the planet knows that if Mego had survived they would have made a Johnny Storm statue as well.
