With action figures, boxes are always better, as listings for more than $200 for Transformers Jetfire and a $300+ Optimus Prime show.

But when those toys finally hit, it was seismic. No one thought the movie would become the sensation that it has, so Kenner had to rush to get a proper toy line out the year after the movie's release.

Superheroes on pretty much every channel (and in every theater).
