Action toys open up worlds, perhaps I should say galaxies, of possibilities. Whether it is fighting the space villain, fighting the space hero, rescuing people in distress, or threatening the peace of the world, action toys cover it all. With today’s assortment, your child can choose to be the superhero or the super villain. Don’t read anything into the latter, psychologists say that choosing the villain is just as healthy as choosing the hero. In fact, most kids have a tendency to switch off between the positive and negative characters. How well rounded of them. Here are some of the best action toys out there.

We’ll start with The Iron Man Repulsor Power Figure by Hasbro (shown at left). This choice of action toys features two yellow missiles for its repulsor launcher.

The power Figure boasts upgraded armor and unbeatable battle technology loaded with missiles and repulsors. Iron Man comes with three AAA batteries. How’s that for power?

Our next action toy is by LEGO. It’s a thirty-inch Batman based on the Batman Begins character. It’s called the My Size Batman and it is an excellent reproduction of the smoldering anti-hero.
