On this episode of Our American Stories, what began as one boy's love of action figures grew into a career designing toys for some of the world's biggest brands, and eventually into the world's first museum dedicated entirely to action figures. Today, more than 13,000 figures fill the shelves, from superheroes and movie icons to historic military displays, each one telling a story of imagination and craftsmanship.

Museum founder Kevin Stark shares how a lifetime of collecting became a place where visitors don't just rediscover old toys, but reconnect with the memories and wonder of childhood.
