Scale Figures:
These are highly detailed and made to match a specific size ratio (like 1/8 or 1/7 scale) compared to the character's actual size in the anime or game.
They are usually static, meaning they are posed in a fixed position and cannot be moved or adjusted.
Made with a focus on accuracy and artistic quality, they often have more refined sculpting and paintwork.
Action Figures:
Action figures are designed to be poseable and playable. They come with movable joints, allowing you to change their poses.
While they still capture the look of a character, the focus is more on flexibility and playability rather than extreme detail.
They often come with accessories like weapons or interchangeable hands.
