An action figure is a posable plastic figurine of a character, often from a movie, video game, or television program. These action figures usually are marketed as dolls intended for boys.
Action figures are useful in making stop motion movies which are gaining popularity among children due to the availability of easy to use computer software for making animated movies.
History
The term "action figure" was first used by Hasbro in 1964, to market their G.I. Joe figure to boys who wouldn't play with "dolls". G.I. Joe was initially a military-themed 11.5-inch action figure proposed by marketing and toy idea man Stan Weston. The action figure featured changeable clothes, with various uniforms to suit different purposes. In a move that would create global popularity for this type of toy, Hasbro also licensed the product to companies in other markets: More on [ Action figure ]
