Activision Action Figures

November 23, 2013 By ausretrogamer

Imagine a time before social media. I shudder at the thought. If you are asking yourself why, it will become evident in a second.

During a conversation with my retro gaming friend from Wales, Dan Bridge, he brought to my attention some exceptionally cool custom made Atari-era Activision action figures. It would be a gross understatement to say that I was excited by Dan passing on the information. That is the power of social media.

I was so beside myself with these action figures, I was trying to devise a way to convince the creator, Dan Polydoris (aka: Chicago Toy Collector) to mass produce his masterful work (legalities aside) and sell it to us video game and action figure lovers. What do you say Dan?

This is not the first time Dan Polydoris has created custom action figures based on video games. This toy-making wiz also produced these awesome Mega Man and Super Mario action figures. You should stop drooling now!
