The "action" figures are most popular and para-normal is much in demand! </div><div><br /></div><div>Read a bunch of comic books and keep in mind inventing a hero -- someone really different who kids can ID with. If I were looking for a new type of hero I'd have a person with a handicap like in Avatar, to overcome their disability. The usual hero is bigger than life -- which kids are NOT, but would like to know how to be. Everyone can relate to someone with a flaw.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5987195376442403688-2113149431225257221?l=writebacksoonplease.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marci Stillermanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05322118864444984116noreply@blogger.com0
