Action Figures

An action figure does not hold one fixed pose. Joints at the neck, shoulders, hips and knees let it sit, fight or kneel; swappable hands and faces change expression and stance; a stand holds it in mid-air.

For anime and game characters, three lines lead the field: figma by Max Factory and S.H. Figuarts by Bandai, both since 2008, and Play Arts Kai by Square Enix, larger and mostly with characters from Final Fantasy, NieR and Kingdom Hearts.
