Justice League and Superhero action Figures

By Allan Goudling


Justice League hero figures! At first glimpse, you could sense that these are targetted as toys for the young, but if we take a closer review of the demographics of whose buying Superherofigures (and comics), we observe that a decidedly large # of buyers are in actual fact adults. Justice League Superhero figures in particular appear to attract a more worldly fan base. Why is this? Well collections normally have a tendency to be about creating importance in things, in particular anyplace where we have fond recollections. That is why the Justice League Superhero figures phenomenon makes sense as the heyday of this particular series was in the 70s & 80s, which means that the children who were brought up with Superhero figures & comic books, are now in a demographic that has significant expendable budget.

Justice League comic books were produced in the 1950s (it was established as the Justice Society) in 1960, the freshly appointed author (Gardiner Fox) altered the name to the Justice League (he was a supporter of the NFL & baseball leagues), basically creating franchises that still stand now. The earliest group consisted of 7 characters that have grown into iconic creations of today's pop culture (Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Martian Manhunter & Aqua Man)

The premise of the Justice League is that a fellowship of superheroes band together to resist enemies that they have the power to produce transnational catastrophe. Each individual member of the Justice League has insufficient strength to handle this opponent, & only by banding together, are they able to thrive & continue to safeguard the Planet. As with all sterling superhero series Justice League has a clandestine base, in fact, during the years they've had a # of secret bases, including a secret cave in Rhode Island, a moon base, an orbiting satellite base & notoriously (in 1984) a secret base in Detroit, Michigan.

Moving to Michigan was an bid on the part of DC Comics to perk up the series using the initial model. The endeavor failed, as all of the previous characters were replaced by newer, conceptually, more fast-moving characters, this ultimately cost the series much of its previous charisma. In 1996, a spin-off was launched, entitled Justice League America, which has proved to be the most popular incarnation of the franchise. JLA ran for about ten years before it was finally closed with a storey called infinite crisis. The storey is far too good for me to reveal here, please go check it out you will be glad that you did.

So where are we at present? & More significantly, when will the coming Justice League Superhero figures will be ready? Well there are traces, in 2008, Superman, Batman & Wonder Woman rehabilitated Justice League (this time with the Batcave as a secret base) & rumors flourish of a live-Superhero motion picture happening someday.
