Blaction- Black Action Figures

I have been collecting black action figures for the past 15 years, or so---all because there were so few growing up. One can only "be" Lando so many times. It started out as a joke, then became a challenging thing that friends would purchase for holidays....now, I am proud of the collection, and frequently seek out the most ridiculous, most obscure, or funniest figures which will enhance the collection. I welcome suggestions or leads. Thanks to my ole lady Kristy, Sharon, Marc, Sis, Mom, Adam, Eugene, Pete, Jo, and everyone else who has gifted my fancy ass over the years.

I didn't see this in your collection. York action figure - http://www.historynetshop.com/ayfs.htm Amazon also has a number of black GI Joe 12' action figures. I recommend the Tuskegee Pilots. I'm so jealous of you Alvin Ailey Barbie. That is wonderful piece.

Darryl First off great collection. I have beeen collecting AA action figures for about 15 years as well and have amassed quite a large collection. Because my career has me moving often I have not had a serious display for over 10 years, but seeing you collection has inspired me to start taking photos of mine with the hopes of some day displaying again. It has been a fwe years looking forward to updates to your collection.

Great collection. I knew someone out there other than myself collected AA figures. I have about 275 AA figures 85 % are 12 inch GI Joe. I Where do you find your figures? There are 2 stores in Atlanta I like for figures other than GI Joes, they are Criminal Records in Little Five Points and Oxford Comics in Buckhead section in Atlanta.

I was searching for african-american or black action figures to accompany the fire truck I purchased for my grandson. Iwas surprised to see your learn of your collection but It was great to see your collection. I would love to have african american or black figures for my grandsons truck cars, etc. Thank very much.

Impressive collection. Thanks for sharing it online! Some others that might interest you - Dr. J and O.J. Simpson by Shindana circa 1970+; Toy Biz 12" Storm; and there were at least two versions of Will Smith in his Men in Black persona, one tiny and the other 12". I noticed you had other sports figures so I mention those two in case they'd interest you. Also, there are 3 versions of a 12" Snoop Dogg by Vital Toys. Enterbay has a spot-on 12" President David Palmer from the tv show "24." Hot Toys offers a 12" Samuel L. Jackson figure as the Octopus from "The Spirit" movie and a promisingly flexible Michael Jackson 12" figure. Happy Collecting! D7ana aka Dana http://phillycollector.blogspot.com/
