Collectors can�t get enough of them. They�re a nightmare to dust but can they be art? Impact takes a look at the world of collectable action figures throughout the ages.

He made our front cover last month, but did the actual movie live up to the hype and publicity surrounding the leak of an early print onto the �net. John Bierly assesses the damage.
