Action figure collecting isn’t only about what is already classic … it is those collectors who recognize modern classics, or 'classics in the making' that stand the best chance of profiting from their collecting hobby. Today we're looking at action figures from four modern films from Harry Potter to Avatar- all very reasonably priced now, and all with lots of appreciation and profit potential in the future!
This is a classic 3 ¾ inch scale model of Neytiri from James Cameron's Avatar. She is said to be graceful, fierce and intelligent, and she is a natural choice for collectors. She does have some articulation, at the knees, elbows, waist and head. She is also incredibly good value, at $12.99. The bow and arrow are removable so this isn't recommended for children 6 and under.
This is a classic Harry Potter figurine, one with plenty of resale potential down the track. It is hand painted and has great sculpting detail. Harry is in his Triwizard Tournament uniform, from the Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire book and film. He's articulated, and comes with a display base and wand and glasses as accessories.
This is an awesome toy at an awesome price! If you are the sort of collector who likes to actually enjoy your pieces by playing with them, the Omnitrix has plenty of added features for you. It makes lights and sounds, and comes with a set of 10 mini translucent figures that attach to the base. As far as toys go, this is quite a popular one - compared to old Harry Potter (despite his collectability value), who is ranked over 30,000 in Toys and Games, the Omnitrix from Ben 10 is ranked at 943 currently. Less resale value and rarity value, perhaps - great toy.
Of all the new characters that Star Wars Episode 1 introduced, Darth Maul is perhaps the most instantly recognizable. This is a full quarter scale figure, standing at around 22.5 inches tall. It has a voice chip, is fully articulated, and is sculpted 'hyper-realistically'. He has dozens of five star reviews - most people are amazed ta how tall it is, and one person wrote an entire essay on him! Best of all, it is currently half price.
