This false shortage was designed to insure another frenzy once new Star Wars figures were released. The value of collections also collapsed, and speculators were hit hard, resulting in more of these toys being returned to stores. Wrestling action figures are hot, but GI Joe is not. Also not is Dennis Rodman action figures from Hoop Highlights, made by Mattel. Very hot right now are the Gundam Wing models of machine robots.
Pokemon figures are luke warm now and cooling.
Those Pokemon gold collector cards that Burger King was distributing a few months ago have also cooled in price on eBay, the online auction site. By the way, the girl action figures continue to edge out the boy action figures in these categories, mainly because there are fewer of them and collectors know that.
