They also take up a ton of space, so it's hard to have more than three in front of you interacting with each other.
They're just not very fun and why i also stopped collecting 1/6 scale dolls.
And they are dolls.
The "doll" term only applies to action figures (before the 20s, they were just called figurines or just toys) for protecting domestically made products by putting a tariff on all imported figures.
They used an overly broad definition to make sure all human-like toys from anywhere outside of the US had to be taxed.
Toy Biz went to court to not pay these duty fees on their action figures and won, by arguing that their toys aren't human. Thus, their XMen and Fantastic Four figures aren't considered dolls for tax purposes.
