Action figures are miniature models of characters from popular media such as movies, TV shows, comics, and video games. These figures are typically made of plastic and designed with multiple points of articulation, allowing for a wide range of poses and movements. They are highly sought after by collectors and enthusiasts, with rare or limited edition figures commanding high prices. Some of the most popular action figure brands include Hasbro's Marvel Legends and Star Wars lines, Mattel's DC Multiverse, and NECA's horror and sci-fi figures. Many action figures come with accessories such as weapons, interchangeable parts, and alternate heads or hands. Some collectors create custom displays for their figures, including dioramas and other environments to enhance the dynamic nature of the figures. In recent years, there has been a push for more diversity in action figures, with companies producing figures that represent characters of different races, genders, and body types.
