Dolls vs. Action Figures

[PopCultKid]

So I'm seriously wondering what the thoughts on Mezco's ONE:12 stuff is. Figures or dolls?

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. (A similar toy named Johnny Hero was introduced by Rosko Industries for Sears in 1965, but was known as a "Boy's Doll" since the term action figure had not gained widespread usage at that point). 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.

If you have a naked plastic figure and you have to dress it like the way you dress a human baby, you have a doll.
I don't care if it has a beard or metal claws or is bald or is a soldier.

If you have to dress and undress your figure you have a doll

I don't really keep count but what I can tell you is it's a hell of a lot easier after you give her a nice wash and blow out.
