You mean idols? They are forbidden by The Good Lord.

Re: In some cultures action figures are sacred

Idols & totems can't be considered action figures. They don't have enough points of articulation ithe joints, which is the key thing that makes boy-collectors feel secure that they aren't playing with dolls.

Re: In some cultures action figures are sacred

I would love to create a website about action figures. Anyone know of anyone in the Somerset area that can help.

If its sacred then its not an action figure.  Perhaps YOU should watch it with the jokes.

I'm not sure sure about that, since you seem awfully defensive about the whole doll thing. I mean, I'm an anthropology major, so I know a lot about culture, and I've certainly never heard of any action figure worshippers.

I'm an action figure major.  I've sprawled out on the floor with action figures for nearly forty years.  I know a lot about action figures.  Trust me.

Doesn't matter.  You think reading about it or getting a credited lecture from a guy with elbow patches on his sweater (Who wasn't there) has more value than having an actual experience.
