Max Steel: Overview
The History of Max Steel Action Figures
The Max Steel action figure has had some success since first being released back in 1999; it was the number one action figure for 2000. It is based around the animated TV series of the same name and the character has also been used for a number of movies. The TV series was made between 2000 and 2002 in the form of three seasons and a total of 35 different episodes. After the TV series there has been a number of made-for-TV movies that have continued up to the present. The show has found most success outside of the US.
Max Steel actually has two identities as he is also the extreme sports star Josh McGrath. During a fight against Cyborgs the nineteen your old was infected by microscopic nano-machines; luckily these nano-machines could be used to give him super-powers. Max Steel was born and so was the twelve inch action figure; although in the beginning there was little resemblance between the action figure and the character in the series.
Since first being released back in 1999 there has been two new waves of Max Steel action figures each year. Each of these packages comes with a newly themed Max, a couple of enemies, his vehicle and some accessories for his missions. There are also lots of other accessory packs available to buy. There is now always a crossover between the new movies and the next line of toys; if something new is in the movie chances are it will show up in the toy theme.
The 2000 line of Max Steel action figures was referred to as the Urban Siege line. The urban siege series introduced a new villain know as Vitirol; who was later recalled after September 11th because the packaging mentioned blasting urban buildings to pieces. This more or less signaled the end of the Urban Siege and it has never been released since. The next series of toys was the Endangered Species collection and this was released in 2004; this was based on the movie of the same name and signaled the addition of forms of transport and the removal of others.
Each new movie brings a new collection of accessories to buy so it is likely that so long as the films are made there will be more Max Steel action toys. In 2010 there is due to be a Max Steel motion picture released by Paramount. This is likely to cause a huge leap in interest in the toys once again and there is almost certain to be a new collection put on the market to feed this interest.
