An action figure is a posable character figurine, made of plastic or other materials, and often based upon characters from a film, comic book, video game, or television program. These action figures are usually marketed towards boys and male collectors. Redressable action figures are sometimes called action dolls to distinguish them from those with all or most of the clothes molded on.
It is argued that action figures are particularly popular with boys because they represent traditional masculine traits and are closely associated with the public sphere. While most commonly marketed as a children's toy, the action figure has gained wide acceptance as an adult collector item. In such a case, the item may be produced and designed on the assumption it will be bought solely for display.
The term "action figure" was first coined by Hasbro in 1964, to market their G.I. Joe figure to boys who wouldn't play with dolls. G.I. Joe was initially a military-themed 11.5-inch figure proposed by marketing and toy idea-man Stan Weston. It featured changeable clothes with various uniforms to suit different purposes. In a move that would create global popularity for this type of toy, Hasbro also licensed the product to companies in other markets.

Plot: Roddy is a decidedly upper-crust "society mouse" who lives the life of a beloved pet in a posh Kensington flat. When a sewer rat named Sid comes spewing out of the sink and decides he's hit the jackpot, Roddy schemes to rid himself of the pest by luring him into the "whirlpool." Sid may be an ignorant slob, but he's no fool, so it is Roddy who winds up being flushed away into the bustling sewer world of Ratropolis. There Roddy meets Rita, an enterprising scavenger who works the sewers in her faithful boat, the Jammy Dodger. Roddy immediately wants out, or rather, up; Rita wants to be paid for her trouble; and, speaking of trouble, the villainous Toad - who royally despises all rodents equally, making no distinction between mice and rats--wants them iced... literally. The Toad dispatches his two hapless hench-rats, Spike and Whitey, to get the job done. When they fail, the Toad has no choice but to send to France for his cousin - that dreaded mercenary, Le Frog.

Or at least that I feel bad
Whoever said that doesn't know
I'm pretty sure that I don't know
And if a case was made for this
Could it be something that we missed
Let's let the cat out of the bag
Let's let the neighborhood go bad
It take some time but there you go
It takes a lot of guts to show
The silly side of who we are
As if we'd ever go that far
So we can put the watch away
And we can throw away the cane
And we can walk through God's own will
Because he's crying, crying still today
What are the odds that you are right?
What will we have to eat tonight?
What if I told you it's okay
To be my action figure?
I've swatted bugs all afternoon
I've swallowed beer like a cartoon
And if old Waylon hung the moon
Will we be singing with him soon?
And I will learn to look away
When there are thing I cannot bear
Perhaps you'll sing a different tune
Perhaps we'll learn to tell the difference
And there are people that I know
Who learn to live within their limits
And we are lucky to be so
