Action figures—those poseable, plastic model figures depicting favorite characters from beloved films, books, TV shows, and comics that we all know and love. Their name comes from a successful marketing campaign for articulated soldier toys, and until then, similar toys held the distinction as “boys’ dolls.” From best friends and adventure buddies in childhood to cherished collectors’ items in adulthood, action figures and action figure sets enjoy a special place in people’s hearts. Hunt the galaxy-sized selection of shops on Etsy for your next favorite rare collectible action figure to keep or gift.
