From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An action figure is a posable character figurine, made of plastic or other materials, and often based upon characters from a movie, comic book, video game, or television program. These action figures are usually marketed towards boys and male collectors. 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.

In this case, the item may take on the statuesque properties of being intended solely for display. HistoryFrom Wikipedia under the
