The action figure came into being with Hasbro's GI Joe. Joe's success was followed by Action Jackson, Microman and more. As a category, action figures truly took off with the launch of Kenner's Star Wars action figures line, cementing action figures as a true collectible, and preceding the success of Transformers, Star Trek figures, X-Men and more.
If you're going to sell action figures, keep in mind that period (blister pack) and first (initial sales) packaging are the real keys to value for action figures. Most figures came with accessories, and the figure is not complete unless the accessories are present. In many cases support equipment, including vehicles, can be of equal or greater value to the action figure itself.
If you're interested in buying figures, beware of reproduced packaging, you simply do not want to pay a premium for a figure not in its period packaging.
