What is an "action figure"?
An action figure is a small, movable toy designed to represent a character, often from movies, TV shows, comics, or video games. These figures are typically made of plastic and have joints that allow them to be posed in different positions. Action figures are usually sold with accessories, such as weapons or equipment, and are often part of a larger collection. They are popular for both play and display, as children and collectors create stories or scenes using the figures. Action figures encourage imaginative play and help develop creativity and storytelling skills.
