Here are some action figure links I've found over the years....

Manufacturers' Websites
Hasbro's Star Wars site.
The first group of action figures that I collected on a regular basis. 
The new series is quite a bit better than the ones I had as a kid.

Hasbro's G.I. Joe site.
The most well known 12" action figures on the market.  They have some nice
features but they aren't as posable as some of the other companies on the
market.

Dragon Action Figures site.
In my opinion these are probably the best action figures out there.  They are
very well detailed, you can put them in just about any pose and the weapons
look fairly realistic.

Dragon's US site.

DiD or Dragon in Dreams site.
I don't have any figures from them yet since they seem to be almost
exclusively Germans, but it looks like they are starting to do some
allies.  When they do, I will get one to compare.

Blue Box Toys site.
When I originally made this page, I didn't think BBI was as good as the Dragon
ones.  Alot of the guys had the same faces and I didn't particularly like their
sculpts.  The figures were pretty sparse on the gear and other things.
However, in the years since, BBI has done a great job in closing in the gap.
In some ways, they have better stuff than Dragon.  In other ways they don't.
 Often on the boards, there are discussions of which one is better.  This
highlights why competition is good.

Ignite Action Figures site.
Another company I don't have any figures from, but I've been tempted to get
some of their Romans.  Overall, they look like pretty nice figures with some
nice gear but their heads need some work.  Since they have a Teutonic Knight,
I would love to see them do Alexander Nevsky.

Sideshow Toys.
They produce cool Monty Python figures plus some figures from other eras not
normally covered by other companies.  They have Civil War figures and WWI
figures.

21st Century Toys site.
If these figures didn't have such stupid looking faces they could give GI Joe
a run for their money.  The uniforms are pretty well detailed, the weapons
look pretty good, they are as posable as the Blue Box and Dragon figures
and they are about the same price as G.I. Joes.  I don't like the sculpt
on most of the faces though.

Valor USA site.
Another company I don't have any figures from, but they like to tackle
some subjects that aren't addressed by the other companies.  Their
Battleship Row Sailor looks interesting, as do the women figures.

Dog Soldiers site.
I have one figure from this company.  I like their choice of subjects but
the figure bodies aren't much better than a GI Joe.  I would love to see them
do a few more figures.  I would really like to see a couple woodland Native
Americans.

Cotswold Collectibles
They make some really neat uniforms.  If they used different bodies, they would
be much cooler.  Haven't bought anything from them yet, but they have a really
nice review section as well.

James DeSimone
I received the Sherman tank that I ordered from him.  Pretty quick delivery
considering it went ground and the size of the package.  The tank itself
looks fairly nice out of the box, with a little work can look very nicer.

Shops

I don't know what their delivery times are like because they are within
driving range, but their store is really cool.  They sell more than just
action figures, they also have all sorts of miniature soldiers from all
eras.  The people at the store are pretty cool too.  Definately a keeper.


I ordered a figure from this website.  They have a pretty wide selection
although their site is pretty hard to find a specific figure.  They have some
loose stuff which is a bit easier to find.  Their prices are fairly reasonable
and shipping is pretty quick.  I generally get stuff I order from them in under a week.

Echo Base Toys
I've ordered a couple of figures from them, quick delivery.  I've also been to
their shop which is very cool.

The Monkey Depot
Quick service and delivery.  Heard lots of good stuff about them.  Sampled
them and it's true.

I will add other places as I sample them.


Miscellaneous
