Action figure

In last Posting about Transformers Movie 2 Deluxe Bumblebee Figure. An action figure is a posable character figurine, made of plastic or other materials, and often based upon a movie, comic book, video game, or television program.

These action figures are usually marketed towards boys. Redressable action figures are sometimes referred to as action dolls as a distinction from those which have all or most of their clothes molded on.

Action figures are particularly popular with boys because they represent traditional masculine traits and are closely associated with the public sphere.

While most commonly marketed as a children's toy, the action figure has grown wide acceptance as an adult collector item and has been produced specifically with this in mind. In this case, the item may take on the statuesque properties of being intended solely for display.
