Two of the most popular toy items for little
boys are action figures and toy trucks or cars. If they were
to see one of those items under a Christmas tree, they would
most likely freak out with excitement and start playing with
them immediately. It is true; action figures and toy trucks
are a hit with young boys. But which one is more popular than
the other?
An action figure is a plastic figurine of a character, often
from a movie, comic book, video game, or television program.
These action figures usually are marketed towards little
boys. One category of action figures that is always in high
demand is the superhero action figure.

Some superheroes such as Superman, Batman and Spiderman are perennial
favorites, while the popularity of others goes dormant until the
next major motion picture remake. With the latest installment of
the mega-popular Spiderman movies, Spiderman and his mixture of
villains appear to be in power over the superhero action figure
market for the moment.
With a popular animated series
and movie, Batman is also a favorite action figure. The oldest
superhero of the bunch, Superman, has been slowly but surely
making a comeback.
With a popular Superman-themed television series and a major
motion picture on the way, it is safe to say that Superman
action figures will never stray far from the top of the list.
Males seem to have a natural attraction to vehicles. With
that in mind, young boys love playing with toy cars.
They obviously can't drive a real car, but they can definitely
pretend they can if they had a toy truck they could ride on.

On the other hand, if the boy is a speedy one, he'll thoroughly
enjoy playing with a radio-controlled car. With that, they can go
as fast as they want! Though sometimes derided by users of more
expensive and sophisticated hobby-grade equipment, toy R/C is an
excellent way to teach a youngster basic vehicle control and to
hopefully spark his interest in the hobby.
Next time you are out shopping for a present for a boy who is age
8 or younger; do not hesitate to get him an action figure. Action
figures are a slightly better hit than toy vehicles. However, no
matter the popularity level, either or both of these toy items are
highly recommended for young boys. Now you know what to get them
for their next birthday or for Christmas.
