When action figures started to win the heart of children, it was thought that these would be limited to those kids only. with the passage of time, it has been found that adults also enjoy their time with these toys. People of all ages like to collect them and get pleasure playing with them.

If you think that children and adults have the same interest in action figures, you will be in the wrong. Children collect them as they love to play with them. whereas, adults may like to play with them sometimes but they usually treat them as collectibles.

Packaging is something that controls the money value of an action figure. Going for an open box type may save you some money. If you’re willing to spend more, choose some mint condition toy.

To a child the strengthened packaging may not be of real value. He may like to have it close without any plastic covering on the action figure. Enjoyment matters.

Some people purchase two copies of one action figure. Why? Children at home may break or damage one and the other, then, can be kept as a piece of collectible.

If I ask you to tell the names of most popular action figures, you will speak of Superman, Star Wars, batman and Ninja Turtle etc. these classic toys may cost you one to two hundred dollars at a resale value in some special cases.

The price of these toys goes up when they have many accessories attached with them and they can move automatically. Prices of new toys are between twenty to thirty dollars. to use them as play companion or as collectible, you can spend that money.

Any contemporary figurine may be lucrative as business products but they eventually die out. for example, a political figure for the present time. It may attract much attention today; but eventually people will not pass time with the figure in the long run.

CAMPAIGNERS against the proposed High Speed Two (HS2) rail line marched through the countryside at the weekend, along the route the track is set to devastate.

The eight-mile protest walk, organised by the Chiltern Society, took place on Saturday, with about 80 protesters starting at Amersham station and finishing at Great Missenden station.

Places were limited for the eight-mile walk for health and safety reasons, but a shorter, two-mile walk was also staged in Amersham, and about 80 more people took part.

Society member Carol Rainsford said: “The walk went very well. A lot of people on the walk were shocked at what would be lost and how much disruption it would cause to nearby houses if they go through with it, which at the moment everyone is saying they will.

“I think it really cemented in my mind exactly what will be lost. I think we achieved our aim, we wanted people to see what affect HS2 will have on our countryside and I think they did.”

The society has decided to fight for the preservation of the Chilterns and is preparing evidence to present to the public consultation. They do not oppose the principle of high-speed rail, they say they just do not want it to run directly through the Chilterns.

One of the key things walkers looked at was the site for the tunnel portal, where the footpaths from Mill Lane and School Lane meet in Old Amersham.

Organiser Jim Rodda said: “I believe this made as deep an impression on the walkers as some of the other beautiful countryside that we encountered and that HS2 will devastate.

The Chilterns was not recognised as an area of outstanding natural beauty (AONB) for nothing, but the political parties who seem oblivious to what this demands in terms of infrastructure and noise should have all areas shaking in their shoes after this proposal.

“Only by walking the route can you truly appreciate the utter devastation HS2 would bring, and realise not only the horrendous visual impact it will have but how the noise from these enormous trains would carry over the valley.”

Ms Rainsford said they hoped to organise another walk in the future.

She said: “We are just sorry we couldn’t take a larger number with us on the longer walk.

“A lot of people on the shorter walk expressed interest at taking part in the longer one next time, so we will try and arrange this.”
