"The amount of lead in the blood and tissues, as well as the time course of exposure, determine toxicity. Diagnosis and treatment of lead exposure are based on blood lead level (the amount of lead in the blood), measured in micrograms of lead per deciliter of blood (μg/dL). The US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization has set the upper limit for blood lead for adults at 10 µg/dl (10 µg/100 g) and for children at 5 µg/dl. A blood lead level of 10 μg/dL or above is a cause for concern. Authorities such as the American Academy of Pediatrics define lead poisoning as blood lead levels higher than 10 μg/dL."
You get levels such as that from either a large, sudden exposure, say a leaded fuel spill, or working in an area stripping lead paint without a respirator/filter, OR prolonged exposure to smaller amounts, IE, eating with utensils that contain lead over a period of years, or cooking with pots that contain lead, again, over a long period of time.
The amount, if any, contained in the paint found on an action figure that will be used by an adult, and not a child who will suck the paint off of it, is minuscule enough to be harmless. And with that, it would take many figures over a long time to actually affect a child who would suck off the paint.
