- TOYS! AMAZING STORIES BEHIND SOME GREAT INVENTIONS
- "CAN YOU BELIEVE BUBBLES MADE THE TOY HALL OF FAME?"
- Toy soldiers have been used by kings and czars for years; in 1962 G.I. Joe captured the toy soldier world, followed by other action figures and Star Wars characters.
- "The tiny green army pieces have been around since 1938. Their popularity waned during the Vietnam War. But they became big-screen stars with the 1995 Pixar movie 'Toy Story'."
- "Kids usually collect action figures for only a few months. And then along comes the next action figure who for a time, becomes the 'latest and greatest'."
- These toys remain popular because they are lightweight, cheap, "But most of all because they inspire open-ended play."
