A [[toy]] depicting a character from a [[video game]], a [[comic]], a live action movie, an anime, a cartoon or a live action TV show. 

Action figures are usually molded in plastic and some are quite detailed and highly articulated. However, since they are mostly aimed towards children, they are not as big, detailed or expensive as high quality collector [[figure]]s.
