Any a child from the '90s would have killed for half the superhero, villain, and anime character toys on this list. A toy collection was nothing without all four of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles or the latest Pokémon figurines. But just because you're an adult doesn't mean you can't appreciate a dope action figure when you see one. Here are 25 Grown-Up Toys We Want This Holiday Season. These are much better than anything on your typical "must-have" list, and they completely destroy the plastic playthings that come in Happy Meals. Now you know just what to add to your Christmas list.
