<blockquote data-quote="Egg Embry" data-source="post: 8828762" data-attributes="member: 6808965"><p>Since 2019, several RPG action figure lines have launched or are about to arrive in stores. These toys focus on a few popular intellectual properties like <strong><em>Dungeons & Dragons, The Legend of Vox Machina, Cyberpunk 2077,</em></strong> and <strong><em>Warhammer 40,000</em></strong>. For the first part of this two part series, I’ll talk about aspects of an action figure as well as what’s available for two tabletop properties: <strong><em>Cyberpunk 2077</em></strong> and <strong><em>Warhammer 40,000</em></strong>.</p><h3>What Makes a Toy an Action Figure?</h3><p>As tabletop roleplayers, we live in an amazing time. RPGs are celebrated in mainstream media, streamers have dedicated audiences, a <strong><em>Dungeons & Dragons</em></strong> movie is leading the way for many more RPG movies and TV series coming from Hollywood, the number of RPG based video games is at a new high, comics based on <strong><em>Vampire: The Masquerade, Deadlands,</em></strong> and <strong><em>Cyberpunk</em></strong> are available in comic book stores, and getting into games has never been easier with online options across a variety of platforms as well as offerings at your friendly local game stores (FLGS). To compliment the pop culture explosion of tabletop roleplaying games, there are a variety of accessories from clothes to jewelry to posters and even action figures based on <strong><em>Dungeons & Dragons, Cyberpunk,</em></strong> and more. With the holiday season upon us, lets talk about the recent and upcoming waves of RPG action figures available as holiday gifts and beyond.</p><p></p><p>As a gift giving guide, I want to spend a few paragraphs breaking down what counts as an action figure. Action figures aren’t statues or miniatures, they’re toys that inspire play in the young and the young at heart. The division from statues or miniatures comes from an action figure’s size (scale), articulation, and the materials they’re molded from. If you’re using this as a gift guide, knowing your giftee’s preference on scale and POAs may make the difference between a beloved figure versus a returned-for-store-credit gift. If you’re a non-figure collector, let’s breakdown the physical points of collecting so the playing field is level.</p><ul> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>Scale</strong>: The different sizes of action figures are categorized in scales, but what does that mean? This number represents the reduction in size from a typical human down to an action figure representation. For instance, a 1:12 scale is one-twelfth average human height, which converts twelve inches of full size human or animal to an action figure height of one inch. An individual that is six feet tall would be six inches tall as an action figure using the 1:12 scale. Other common scales are 1:6 (one foot tall action figures) and 1:18 (four inch figures). Most of <strong>McFarlane Toys’</strong> figures are seven inches or so tall making them roughly 1:10 scale. If you’re an action figure collector, scale matters as many collectors (though not all) specialize in only one scale, likely 1:12 or 1:18. While some collectors buy a variety of scales, many choose a specific scale and focus only on that because the figures from multiple properties display together like they’re the same size. In this article, I don’t list the scale of every figure, but most of the modern offerings (2010s and beyond) are going to be 1:12 for <strong>Hasbro</strong> and 1:10 for <strong>McFarlane Toys</strong>.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>Points of Articulation</strong>: Articulation is another important aspect of action figures. Points of articulation (POA) refers to the rotational joints connecting limbs and how of those points can be adjusted to create realistic poses. For reference, 1970s and 1980s <strong>Star Wars</strong> figures have five POA (points of articulation). Most modern figures tend towards fourteen to over thirty POAs. If you’re gifting an action figure to a friend, check out their existing figure collection to determine their scale and POA preference. It’s a small matter, but it helps to identify their interests.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul"><strong>Property</strong>: Your giftee isn’t going to like all action figures, they’re going to like certain properties. As a fan of properties such as <strong>He-Man</strong> or <strong>Transformers</strong>, which started out as toylines, collecting those figures is an obvious component of action figure fandom. For RPG based figures, it might not be a gamer’s first instinct to collect <strong>D&D</strong> figures. Make sure that the individual you’re buying for is a fan of that property and those toys before stocking up.</li> </ul><h3>What Came Before & What's Available Now?</h3><p>The number of action figures based on RPGs has been growing since 2019.

The <strong>Cyberpunk 2077</strong> figures dropped when the video game released. However, due to the initial pushback against the video games’ bugs, this line only resulted in four figures.

[QUOTE="Egg Embry, post: 8828762, member: 6808965"] Since 2019, several RPG action figure lines have launched or are about to arrive in stores.

For the first part of this two part series, I’ll talk about aspects of an action figure as well as what’s available for two tabletop properties: [B][I]Cyberpunk 2077[/I][/B] and [B][I]Warhammer 40,000[/I][/B]. [HEADING=2]What Makes a Toy an Action Figure?[/HEADING] As tabletop roleplayers, we live in an amazing time.

With the holiday season upon us, lets talk about the recent and upcoming waves of RPG action figures available as holiday gifts and beyond. As a gift giving guide, I want to spend a few paragraphs breaking down what counts as an action figure. Action figures aren’t statues or miniatures, they’re toys that inspire play in the young and the young at heart. The division from statues or miniatures comes from an action figure’s size (scale), articulation, and the materials they’re molded from. If you’re using this as a gift guide, knowing your giftee’s preference on scale and POAs may make the difference between a beloved figure versus a returned-for-store-credit gift.

[LIST] [*][B]Scale[/B]: The different sizes of action figures are categorized in scales, but what does that mean?

An individual that is six feet tall would be six inches tall as an action figure using the 1:12 scale. Other common scales are 1:6 (one foot tall action figures) and 1:18 (four inch figures). Most of [B]McFarlane Toys’[/B] figures are seven inches or so tall making them roughly 1:10 scale.

While some collectors buy a variety of scales, many choose a specific scale and focus only on that because the figures from multiple properties display together like they’re the same size. In this article, I don’t list the scale of every figure, but most of the modern offerings (2010s and beyond) are going to be 1:12 for [B]Hasbro[/B] and 1:10 for [B]McFarlane Toys[/B].
