To the OP: there's really nothing much else I can add that hasn't already been said here. Think it over before jumping head-first into the deep end of the pool. While the water may be warm and inviting, it might be more shallow than it looks.

Star Wars says hi.

Also, the term Action Figure came from G.I.Joe advertisements in 1964, when it debuted (as DHeezy81 pointed out). It was a way to get boys to want to buy what was essentially military-themed dress-up dolls. Sort of the boys' version of Barbie (which debuted in 1959, btw).
