Collector-ActionFigures.com Offers World's Best Action Figure Catalog, Simple Collection Inventory, and Astonishing, Original 360 Degree Photography

ATLANTA, Oct. 22 /PRNewswire/ -- Collector-ActionFigures.com launched today the first web application for action figure collectors which includes the world's largest and most accurate online action figure database. The application provides access to over 30,000 action figures and 700 different brands, and the application is stocked with over 40,000 original, high-resolution photographs. Action figure collectors can now harness the power of an internet application to better learn about figures, build a community resource, and better manage their own collections.

"I've been an action figure collector for over 20 years," said Kevin Stark, curator of the Action Figure Museum (www.actionfiguremuseum.com). "What these guys have done is the most significant application and resource for action figure collectors ever built. They have taken the best parts of a great collectors' book, put it online for everyone to use and contribute to and blended it with incredible, interactive photography and great collection management software. Action figure collectors are going to love it today, and even more when the Marketplace is launched later."

The proprietary DASH 360 photographic system is one way that Collector-ActionFigures.com makes collecting more fun and educational. Instead of small, poor quality pictures of items, the application features high-resolution photographs of thousands of action figures that enable members to turn the figure around, reading even the smallest print on the back of the package. The innovative full screen viewer brings the details out completely maximizing the value of today's large PC displays. 27 fields of information are provided per figure, and the Action Figure Universe maintains a meaningful structure, enabling collectors to interact and learn about whole series of figures they may have never even known about. Built as a Wiki-style, community-maintained database, collectors are encouraged to upload their own photos of figures and fill in information that may be missing.

With its simple "Got It" and "Want It" interface, Collector-ActionFigures.com has delivered the simplest and most accurate collection management system online. Collectors can record specific details about their items, and inventory their collection in the application. Collectors can also prepare themselves for the opening of the Collector-ActionFigures.com Marketplace. The Marketplace will offer members zero-transaction fee buying and selling, as well as an innovative system for pairing members' wanted lists with other members 'willing to trade' lists.

"We aren't action figure collectors. We are software professionals who saw that collectors' best tools were eBay and Excel - generic tools," said Bill Jones, CEO of CollectorDASH. "We built this application to deliver the power of a collaborative, modern software application for people to embrace their collecting passions. It represents a radical departure from dealer, manufacturer or fan sites, enabling real software functionality coupled with unparalleled action figure content."
