HISTORY OF THE ACTION FIGURE

Room 2502 (Lower Level)

Sunday May 22, 2016 - 2:30 pm to 3:30 pm


Join the hosts of the Toy Department Podcast as we take a journey through the history of action figures, from the dawn of time (roughly) through the modern day. We'll discuss heavy hitters such as Star Wars, Transformers, GI Joe, Ninja Turtles, a plethora of Super Heroes, and many more, as well as some of the more esoteric playthings of the past. It's more than a history lesson though, as we'll also delve into what motivates kids (and adults) to collect and play with articulated bits of plastic.
