Plastic Action Figures
Action figures today are modeled after everything from real life characters to super heroes to mythical creatures to animals. But these figurines have come a long way since they were first created. The action figure was born in 1964. Hasbro developed a 12 inch representation of GI Joe geared toward boys. Hasbro thought that boys wouldn’t want to play with a doll so they coined the term “action figure” to make the figure more appealing and acceptable to boys.
