The toy soldiers, action figures and puppets are made since ancient times. They have become top toys for kids. There were then polychrome clay soldiers that lead to wood and even silver.
There has been a huge evolution in terms of toys. This rapid movement involves action figures. Finally, early this century, coinciding with the manufacture of motor vehicles are high-tech toys, arriving first in Germany, then Japan and more recently the United States. (Currently, many of these modern toys are manufactured in Mexico under foreign patents.) Also at that time, artisans offer their own version of carriages, trucks, buses and planes, tin and wood, which continue to occur until our days.
As we have seen, in parallel with the action figures that have arrived from abroad, which always was and will remain, there has also been extensive local production, inspired sometimes imported parts, to meet the needs of Mexican children. Many of these toys are linked to local some of the most ancient traditions and customs of the people.
For this reason, the toys do not generally change their physical characteristics or not change the materials they are made, not to lose the attractiveness and utility originally had, and become something other than a toy. That's why popular toys, to retain their traditional characteristics, become authentic popular art samples. These action figures features are basically: its shape, which shows, as already stated, the various influences that converge on art, especially folk art, its strong colors, the ingenuity and variety of its forms, and ingenuity denotes its simple but effective mechanisms that allow them whistling, ringing, buzzing, rattling or moving, jumping or jumping in many different ways.
One of the more ingenious is that of clowns. The craftsman improvises a small bellows made of paper and two small panels, 82 x 43 x 9 mm and 82 x 43 x 7 mm. The front small panel, the thicker, has a central bore of 13 mm in diameter, covered on both sides with another piece of paper.
With the tip of the cigarette, the artisan makes a small hole in the center of this piece of paper, through which air escapes. The bellows is at the same time, the body of the figure, he wears colorful pieces of fabric and attached with glue to a stick of 18.5 cm long, which serves as an axis to the toy. The weight of the action figures is huge!
Other ingenious toys are made with cardboard, bristle, tar and wood, and airplanes, an extraordinary simplicity, which are hardly, they hum to rotate them, by rubbing it produces the tip of a pin on the inside of a scorched top of bottle of soda. The best part is, these action figures are created in many colors like: purple, red, green and yellow, which mixes with various elements to accentuate parts.

Pocket Watch History
Early clocks were driven by hanging weights. Since they depended on gravity to work properly, they had to be firmly mounted on the wall or in a case. But by the 1400s, it had been discovered that a clockwork mechanism could be powered by a coiled spring instead. This led to the development of the first portable clock by Peter Henlein, a German metalworker, in the early 16th century (some sources credit Henlein with inventing spring-powered clocks, but this is disputed).
