All right, so just to put a little bow on the action figure thing before we get into how they're made.
This was just totally different.
And it was really simple.
Transformers came along, was huge.
It was really sleek.
Everything was laid out just right.
Throughout the 90s, then you saw Marvel and DC really come on the market.
And it was just so perfectly made out of the gate that, like you're saying, it just laid the groundwork for all of the console controllers to come, even today still.
Every movie you could think of had action figures.
TV shows started having action figures.
Older popular movies started having action figures.
It's based on those.
Yeah, it didn't start there.
Like for nostalgia's sake, I literally had a Scarface doll.
They had it initially on this handheld game called a Game & Watch, which if you look at this, it looks like it's sort of the predecessor to the Game Boy.
Oh yeah, I've seen that.
The Scarface Al Pacino that I used to have in the office.
Did it come with a mound of cocaine?
And it's called a Game & Watch because it had a clock on it.
It did.
