   Random "Hot Take": Any action figure that uses 'soft goods' is not an action figure but a doll. The old 8" Mego figures? Dolls. Any figure from Kenner's Super Powers line with a cape? Dolls. Super Powers figures with no capes? Action figures. The original Kenner Yoda figure? Doll. The Kenner Darth Vader figure with a VINYL cape? Action figure.

     @multiverseofbadness "Soft goods" in the toy industry basically means cloth. So regardless of the Armes head's material, it's still got cloth pants and a sweater. The Mego figures qualify as dolls because they've got cloth costumes, not because their heads are rubbery.
