WWE Randy Orton Series 16 Action Figure

Yes, Spring is in the air and graduation parties will occupy your weekends. You need to give the graduate a gift, right? A great gift option and possibly some of the coolest action figures ever made are WWE Action Figures. The WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) is entertaining for people of all ages. There are many different wrestling characters in both men and women. Fortunately, a toy company named Jakks Pacific, has created 100’s of action figures based on WWE wrestling characters. These characters not only come dressed in their character’s wrestling uniform, but each comes loaded with accessories. Some accessories may include: folding chair, step ladder, microphone, wrestling belt, briefcase, breakaway bench, barbell, fire extinguisher, and even a safe.

Although, they are sold separately, Jakks releases their action figures in a Series. Usually about 6-7 figures are included in that particular series, so you can collect the entire series, if you wish. Each action figure stands approximately 6-7 inches tall and comes with many different points of articulation. Some of the many series that Jakks has released has included: Ruthless Agression, Deluxe Aggression, Adrenaline, Superstars, Maximum Aggression (12 inch figures), Buildn’Brawlers (3 3/4 inch figures), Ring Rage, Unmatched Fury, and Micro Aggression (2 inch figures).

Another point to consider is the value these figures hold in time. As with many action figure manufacturers, these figures are made for a short while, then retired and never made again. This increases the value of the items during the course of time. Collector’s info and proper care for collecting action figures can be found at Super Action Figures (informative site on action figures).

These wrestling action figures are a great hit with children in the early teens, as well as adults. The child could be the envy of the block by receiving their favorite WWE wrestler. So, as the Summer season gets busy with graduation parties and typical Summer activities, a quick fix for your gift-giving needs are WWE wrestling action figures.

24 Jack Bauer Action Figure Boxed Set Series 1

We knew the hit TV show 24 was extremely popular, but if the network licensed action figures and other dolls from the show, would they be just as popular? In 2007, McFarlane Toys introduced the 24 Jack Bauer Action Figure Boxed Set Series 1. This action figure boxed set was the first to come along from the hit show and came with Jack in full detail. Right out from a gripping action scene, this figure includes a custom base, prop fencing, and background image. Jack aslo articulates at several points and was designed on a 6″ scale basis. Did it meet expectations? Well, Mr. Bauer was a hit! These figures apparently, were the exact items that 24 fans and collectors were looking for. So much, indeed, that a Series 2 had to be made.

Later on in November of that same year, McFarlane Toys released the 24 Jack Bauer Action Figure Boxed Set Series 2. McFarlane follows through in a big way with this detailed piece. Jack is featured kicking in a door, ready to defeat the enemy. Once again, this incredible action figure piece is based on a 6″ scale and comes with several points of articulation.

With both of these action figure deluxe boxed sets being released in 2007, McFarlane Toys has since discontinued manufacturing these collectibles. As with many action figure and toy manufacturers, these pieces are only available for a short amount of time. Once they have sold out, they are gone forever. If you haven’t had a chance to pick these two up yet, you better hurry as stock quantities won’t last very long. Collectors are sure to gobble them up. A hero unlike any other deserves an action figure unlike any other!
