1961 was a testy time. The Cold War, Bay of Pigs, and JFK’s encouragement for families to build bomb shelters made for an unsettling year. It was the perfect opportunity for a hero. A new hero. One with rock-like skin to deflect missiles, a great sense of humor to put others at ease, and a great battle cry to be remembered by…… The Thing (aka Benjamin Jacob “Ben” Grimm) was introduced in

In homage to this worthy cause, we’ve bookmarked a selection of facial hair laden figures on DASH who we

What happened in 1941?The Germans attacked Pearl Harbor (No wait, that was John Belushi's version). Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, Joe DiMaggio hit in 56 consecutive games (a record that still stands today by the way), AND Captain America was introduced to the world.Captain America was the alter ego of Steve Rogers, a sickly man who underwent an experimental treatment by the United States Military.

Do you have a Steve Jobs Action Figure? Many people have tried. Few have succeeded. The figure, manufactured by M.I.C. Gadget out of China (Made In China), is already a classic. Only 300 figures were originally manufactured late last year and those quickly sold out. Apparently, there was another run of some number before Apple lawyers earned their pay for the day.

"What's that figure worth?" We all know the answer..."what someone will pay me for it." While that is true, it really doesn't answer the question. A better answer will be a dollar amount that is most likely to be actually what someone would pay you for that figure, if you were selling it. Coming up with that dollar amount is a big exercise of educated estimation, but having a trusted "action

Published this Sunday (10/31) in the Apple Store, the free podcast explores the world of Star Wars action figure collecting. Bill talks about DASH, our strategy, and in particular shares a number of interesting statistics about the

Hasbro and Discovery have teamed up to launch a new series of animated TV shows around the epic battle between good and evil and control of the Earth. Mark your calendars and set your DVRs! The 60 million subscribers of The Hub cable channel can tune in for these new shows:“Hubworld” – Transformers-themed episode (Friday, November 26, 3 p.m. – 3:30 p.m.) “Hubworld” is a weekly, live-action pop

Are you prepping for this weekend's "Tree House of Horror" festivities like I am? Then make sure you check out the newly listed classic Simpsons figures (and playsets) that showed up today in the Marketplace. Check them all out at http://www.collector-actionfigures.com/dash/marketplace/listings/brand/The%20Simpsons/ .My favorite will probably always be Homer in the "theoretical" third dimension.

We are working hard to improve your experience in using DASH. You can preview our latest work by clicking on the "NEW - Shop by Brand - Alphabetical Listings" link in the current DASH Marketplace. It's a radically different way to look through the 7,500+ items for sale in the DASH Marketplace. We've been told (and we agree) that it is better for a number of reasons, but we'd LOVE to hear from

About a week ago, we made a change so that a collector with several thousand figures in his collection would sync more reliably using the DASH Action Figure iPhone app. That improvement caused a weird behavior for all our users. We've since fixed that in the iPhone app itself. It's now live in the Apple App Store as a free download for existing iPhone app users. Please download this update

We publish a number of our key growth metrics on our home page for everyone to see. We do this to let you all know "IT'S WORKING!" This week, we'll pass the 4,500 member mark and the 90,000 figures-under-management mark. All of our stats are rising steadily, and the feedback we are getting about the site is awesome and our scores are great (and improving even still.) We're seeing a continuous

We've recently gone through the Video Games genre in the DASH Universe, updating the action figure value ranges for packaged and loose figures. This is painstaking work, but we know that it is valued (pun intended!) by our members. We now have more than 75% of the total Universe of figures covered with both packaged and loose value ranges. We believe we are the world's largest online action

We're excited to have a super selection of AFA-graded Star Wars figures for sale on DASH. To check these great figures out, click here. You can also just search for "midwestjedi" in the Marketplace too. Just passed 4,000 members yesterday...onward and upward!

Hasbro's HAMMER Files figures dominate the latest DASH Top 20 Wanted list of figures. After reviewing the more than 7,700 figures marked as wanted, the DASH team reports that the "Most Wanted" figure by DASH members is ARCHANGEL, in Series 2 (Wave 3) of the HAMMER Files. Comic Book & Superheroes Figures, though not the most collected (Star Wars leads in that race), are the most wanted by DASH

We just deployed a MUCH IMPROVED search feature on DASH. To do this, we analyzed the thousands of search strings our members have tried over the months. Our new search nails the right answers 95% of the time. Check your spelling, but go for it! (Sorry, searching for "Princess Leah" still won't find Princess Leia!) You can now search for things like "Mego Star Trek Kirk" to find the 7 Kirk

We've tabulated the results of our most recent Customer Satisfaction Survey and we're happy to say the results brought a smile to our faces. 80% of our members give us a score of 8+ overall, and more than half of our members enthusiastically recommend us to their friends.

We just went live today with our new "Rate-A-Figure" feature. You can rate every figure in the Universe on a 5-star system. 5-Star figures are really awesome, and 1-Star figures suck. Over time, as your fellow collectors weigh in, you'll get to see the consensus favorites by sorting the grid by the collective ratings score. As you see, just like the really valuable Collection Report we just

Action figure collectors manage almost 70,000 action figures on DASH. In our new Monthly Collection Report, collectors will see: 1) a summary of your collection's overall value, (essential for insuring your collection!) 2) a summary of your collection's overall cost, 3) a summary of the figures you are selling, 4) the number of other collectors that want each of your figures, 5) a feel for

Our good friends at the national Action Figure Museum are opening a new exhibit on Saturday, August 21. It is featuring the director of a really fun stop-motion video now on YouTube. You should check it out! While you are there, be sure to check out the little video we put together about Collector-ActionFigures. It's not nearly in the same league, but it might make you chuckle.

Yesterday, we added our 3,000th action figure collector member to DASH. The time it took us to add our last 1,000 members was roughly half the time it took us to add the previous 1,000 members. That means OUR GROWTH RATE HAS ALMOST DOUBLED recently. Another indicator of our growth is the number of action figures our members are managing in their collections. Over the period of time our

To help automate the process of listing, DASH has developed a tool for sellers wishing to put hundreds or thousands of figures for sale in the DASH Marketplace. If you are interested in using this tool, contact DASH through the “Talk To Us” button at the bottom of any screen.

Since its launch, DASH's innovative 24-For-24 daily specials has beaten eBay's lowest-priced comparable Buy-It-Now figure by an average of 58%! In fact, fully 60% of the figures featured were the BEST PRICE compared against eBay. Response from collectors has been great, with many finding the randomly selected figures to be a fun daily routine to check out. By taking advantage of the 24-For-24

A few days ago, one of our members posted a rare Ultimate Warrior 1998 WCW Nitro Returns figure in the DASH Marketplace. Only 20 copies of this figure were made. Knowing how good the DASH photo viewing was, our member posted some high-resolution photos and put a link to his posting on a popular Wrestling Figure collector forum. Based on the traffic from this simple listing, it has been an
