starting in 2002, leavitt's "art army" series is considered fine art, though these sculptures are also described as action figures. "these are art toys with a capital 'a'." (jason atomic, pimp magazine) leavitt is "interested mainly in the figure as sculpture, and less as a pure platform." (dot dot dash, die gestalten verlag) the "toy" definition describes the figures' engineering. leavitt says, " 'action figures' are ours, (they are) particular to the early '80's boom in mainstream toy business that predated the anti-social video game boom' and i like the connotations of the words 'action' and 'figure'- movement and motion, and figurative realism." the mixed media and wood figures range from 6 cm to 1 meter tall with moving body parts and accessories.
