A doll by another name, differing from a doll by being designed for tough,
aggressive, "masculine" situations. Used by males to disguise their
insecurity with being
associated with traditionally "feminine" things. Just like a kilt is not caled a "skirt".
"Action figure"?
What does that mean anyway? Is it an active thing? What does it mean? Call it what you like it, but any way that you
look at it, an "action figure" is a doll by another name; "That which we call a rose/By any other word would smell as sweet."-Juliet,
Romeo and Juliet
