Action Figure

A doll for boys (and sometimes even grown men, no joke). Don't ever let anyone try to fool you that action figures aren't dolls. There's no real difference besides the title.

"I'm looking for a Han Solo Action Figure"
"Oh so you're an adult who plays with dolls huh?"
"I SAID ACTION FIGURE!!! IT'S NOT A DOLL!!!!!"
"Okay, would you also like a Princess Leia doll to go with Han?"
"STFU!!!!!!"

dynamic figure

Some say he's often seen scaling walls and crushing ice. He woos women with sensuous and godlike trombone playing. He cooks Thirty-Minute Brownies in twenty minutes. He knows the exact location of every item in the supermarket. The man, the myth, the legend.
A college application essay titled "I am a dynamic figure", by Hugh Gallagher, written in 1989.

Example: "Hugh Gallagher gave a completely factual account of his lived experience in his college application essay and should be known as a dynamic figure."
