The Collector-ActionFigures Community is Headed for the Stars
Yakfacers are well aware that there are a lot of great online communities for action figure collectors, but none are as unique as the group of fervent toy lovers making up Collector-ActionFigures. Our members are dedicated to creating and maintaining the world’s most expansive catalog of action figures. Whether you only collect vintage figures, cling to Power of the Force, or just like your Star Wars in 12-inch form, DASH has something to offer you. p>
DASH and its community may be unmatched around the web, but things are about to get even better. My name is Corey Tincher, and I’ve been brought on to make DASH reach for the Stars and stay there. Simply put, it’s my job to keep DASH the absolute best place for collectors to gather, share, buy, and sell their figures with one another.
And I’m honored to join the vibrant community that makes Collector-ActionFigures so great. DASH members maintain the catalog regularly, contribute to an ever-growing number of various action figures for sale, and they help to expand the humongous action figure value guide available to our Collector’s Club members.
The DASH community truly makes collecting better, and you’re more than welcome to join CollectorDASH for action figures with me today.
