Skeletor Action Figure

It should come as no surprise to see Skeletor on this list – in fact, I’m amazed we haven’t seen more characters like him so far! A villain in the Masters of the Universe franchise, Skeletor is the main antagonist. You know, the one with He-Man and the Invisible Man? It turns out that Skeletor is actually He-uncle, Man’s, and the two of them have a tense relationship, to say the least. Skeletor is well recognized for the purple hood that he wears over his bone skull, as well as his intense desire to acquire control of Castle Greyskull’s abilities. Unfortunately – or luckily, depending on your point of view – he never receives the proper assistance and never quite makes it. Nowadays, a mint-condition 1982 Skeletor action figure may be found for around $1,500 on the secondary market.

Transformers

There’s more to it than meets the eye! Not only does the fact that they transform matter, but so does the fact that they generate income. After all, Transformers is a worldwide phenomenon, and it’s difficult to find a kid who doesn’t completely adore the series if they’ve ever seen it. In spite of the fact that Transformers toys are still being produced today, and you can probably walk into any toy store and get an Optimus Prime or Bumblebee automobile, there are plenty of people who are willing to pay top cash for the original item. A first edition toy in its original packaging might fetch upwards of $2,000 on the open market.
