Top Toys For Boys Around The Globe

By Rebecca Adams


Fortunately in this society there are many crafts which can hold a young man's interest for hours and hours. Every person around the planet has heard about the top toys for boys. Even though many men have gone past the age of twenty one years old they still enjoy products from Mego, Kenner and Hasbro.

During the 70's and early 80's everyone around knew about the remarkable superhero statues which were made by a company named Mego. Mego tried their best to keep up with the latest standards of doll making and this was really great. No other statue around resembled the truly awesome character known as Superman. This little fellow had nice removable clothing and he even had red boots.

Mego took it upon themselves to create female dolls of Farrah Fawcett and other pretty young women who were within the public eye during the 70's. Some of these women statues are now very valuable and hard to obtain since they are so rare. Males will usually collect these women characters more than females. Nowadays the Batman, Aquaman, Superman, Spiderman and Robin figures are much easier to buy.

The superhero line proved to be very lucrative for Mego since they represented the eight inch style of doll which was easier to carry. Hasbro had the twelve inch G. I. Joe figures which were very large. Young men could not easily place many of these items within a toy chest after playtime. As time went on the 80's witnessed statue industries making smaller and smaller doll like figures for children to enjoy.

Mego would have survived much longer if they would have taken the offer to create "Star Wars" products once this great movie came to America. After viewing the film many males wanted a Hans Solo or Luke Skywalker figure to place on their table at home. Instead Mego went after "The Black Hole" license and this was a big mistake on their behalf. These items eventually ended up within the discount bin at every retail store.

Kenner on the other hand had huge sales from these "Star Wars" dolls and spaceships which were flooding the toy stores each and every day. Human beings of all ages could not get enough of this particular product and even grown men wanted to add a Princess Leia doll to their collection. Fortunately Kenner was able to survive for a few more years because of these great sales which were happening.

Tonka dump trucks have always been a favorite item for young males everywhere. These are very durable items which products which can bring fun and enjoyment to every male child. The good people at Radio Shack were always willing to introduce new electric products to fine young men.

The military has also come out with special gliders and other airplanes which are usually sold at aircraft shows which happen at certain locations. At Fort Benning Georgia the staff is always willing to put on an action show which will feature these flying products before the actual show begins.
