Compared to the sleek action figures of Superman that we see out now in preparation for the next Justice League movie, this original Superman figurine might seem a little pase. However, it still managed to sell for $25,000 at auction. Superman has been an American icon since 1938 when he first appeared in Action Comics #1.

This action figure of the Man of Steel was made in 1939. Fans of Pawn Stars will recognize it, as it was featured on the season twelve episode, “Fender Bender.” This 1939 action figure, a wood and composition jointed figure, is reportedly the first Superman toy ever made.
