Whether you're into them for the artistry, because you're a superfan of a franchise, or you just have too much money in your wallet, collectible statues and action figures are synonymous with geek culture and the video game industry is no exception. Game series' big and small have produced their own action figures, statues, busts, and other assorted toys, each with the detail and care you'd expect from humanity's most obsessive culture. Even if you haven't touched them in years or think they're kids' stuff, odds are at least a few of these are going to have you downright impressed.
A handful of these are accessibly priced, but most of them ain't cheap or particularly easy to find anymore. However, (in no particular order) each of these 50 awesome action figures would make a welcome addition to any avid collector's display case.
