Action figures are small, poseable toys that often represent characters from movies, television shows, comic books, or video games. They are typically made of plastic and can range in size, with many standing around 3 to 12 inches tall. Action figures often come with accessories, such as weapons or vehicles, and are designed for imaginative play. These toys are popular among children and collectors alike. Many action figures are based on well-known franchises, such as Marvel, Star Wars, or Transformers. Collectors often seek rare or limited-edition figures, making them valuable over time.
