Action figures based on fictional characters from popular movies, video games, and television shows have become one of the biggest selling items among memorabilia collectors with some of the top sellers being female action figures.

Among the most popular of these action figures are "Laura Croft" from the ever popular video game series "Tomb Raiders", "Buffy Summers" from the television series "Buffy the Vampire Slayer", "Princess Leia" from the movie "Star Wars", and "Catwoman" from the "DC Comics" series.

Some of the most popular and preferred manufactures among collectors of female action figures are "McFarlane", "Sideshow Toys", "NECA", and "Bandai" due to their high quality and detailed likeness of the characters.

These figures are designed with many points of articulation for movement and can be played with as toys however; most avid collectors only purchase them as collectible items to be displayed or kept in the manufacturers sealed box or blister pack as this greatly increases the monetary value of the figure over time. All of these female action figures including those which were made in limited editions can be found online through merchants at Amazon.com and make an awesome gift for any action figure collector.
