action toy

Toy with motion

A toy designed for active, physical play rather than passive display—typically action figures, vehicles, or playsets meant to be manipulated, posed, and incorporated into imaginative scenarios.

The term distinguishes toys children actually play with from collectibles or decorative items: The vintage Star Wars figures were action toys, not shelf pieces.
