McFarlane Toys is just one of the many toy makers that produce these great gems. Mezco Toyz also follows suit with some very populartelevision programs including: Family Guy, South Park, Heroes, and more. The list grows as the interest grows and boy, is it growing. The extreme popularity of action figures in tvshows has risen to 300% over the last 3 years. That accounts for a nice percentage of the toy industry. Some toy experts predict that action figures could account for 45% of all toys in the next 5 years.
If you have some family, friends, or co-workers that are big fans of a particular tv show, what more could be an excellent gift idea than an action figure from their favorite hit show?
