An action figure is similar to a [[doll]] but differs in several respects:Action figures are almost always plastic.Action figures usually do not have replaceable clothing. They they may have cloth capes or robes, the emphasis us usually not on dressing them.Action figures are generally marketed to boys and often represent military people, superheros, firefighters or other men (and occasionally women) of action.Action figures are designed for re-enactment play by children.Unlike a [[figurine]], and like a doll, action figures are generally poseable with at least three points of articulation: head and both arms.
