Dolls vs. Action Figures

Help Support Collector Freaks Forum:
Despite the similarities (mainly being real clothes and sometimes hair), there's seriously no way I view these as dolls. The way these are handled and treated, and who they're predominantly handled by are two of the main things that set figures apart from dolls. If you're a 4 year old girl with your Ariel in the bath tub, you got a doll. If you're a 15-70 year old man who has a $150, $200, $400+ piece displayed like an adult, you have a high end figure.
The lines may sometimes be thin or blurred, but I think there are clear differences of what a doll is and what a figure is.

With that compelling evidence/ argument you have me convinced! Close thread, contact administration to change the "action figure" header to "doll."
Yea I'm not sure what Fosing was getting at but if a dude at any age has Frozen ANYTHING, that's a bigger issue for a completely different thread
So is Mezco's ONE:12 line dolls?

Those are high end Frozen figures. Little girls aren't going to just play with those either.
Anyway, IMO, some people who only collect statues are the ones who mostly call 1/6 figures dolls because, as has been stated in threads for years, some statue collectors think 1/6 figures are stupid and beneath them. I collect both and like both.

Guys in here seem to be taking a kind of pride in calling what they collect 'dolls', like men wearing bright pink T-shirts. 'Toys' is as far as I'll go and I occasionally wear a red T-shirt.

It's funny how dolls is actually winning in the poll . Doesn't matter though, at the end of the day, they're all dollies.
Also, must rep Devil_666 when my rep count refreshes

Such a logical assessment

You don't even have to go that far. Just look at Hot Toys figures like Selina Kyle and Black Widow. Both have rooted hair, too .

when i googled high end doll the first search item was the Baby doll hot toys figure
but i wanted to see what else was out there.what do high end female collectors like to get.
thats why I also added two male toys
you could argue that a toy becomes a doll when it is a female toy, a male toy is an action figure
(which would count for Selina Kyle Black widow and Baby doll)
But then what do you call these ones?
