Depends on whether you want to collect vintage or whether you want new versions of classic characters. Most characters from the early days are still produced in new form at various price points.

Vintage has the benefit of being rarer but can be very expensive if you want boxed unopened versions.

New has the benefit that production quality and closeness to originals has really gone up. For example, NECA do some awesome movie figures based on older titles. Such as the very popular Aliens Series 1 figures.



Myself I like the newer models because they look closer to their original characters thanks to modern manufacturing techniques.

Take a look around and see what you like. Companies to check out include:

NECA - For all sorts of more specialist movie figures
DC Collectibles - For all things DC
Diamond Select Toys - For loads of range, including the very popular Marvel Select
Kotobukiya - For vinyl statues of many movie characters.

Hope that helps!
