Over the years, people have made videos of all shapes and sizes of the vintage action figure.  Some are informative others are more artistic in nature.  I’ve listed as many as I can find under this section.

If you are looking for videos relating to repairing the figure, you will find them in a different section, Maintenance and Repair.
