List of Action Figures

Posted on 2021-10-012022-01-31

This blog post is one that I will continue to update as I learn more. Below is an alphabetical list of characters who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (and a few white people) that I know have at least one action figure out there for sale. I am also including a few words on what I hope to teach with each one (unless I haven’t figured that out yet). For the ones that I have already written a blog post about, the name will be underlined with a hyperlink.

Also, if you know of characters that should be on this list, hit me up on Instagram @BlackToysMatterBlog
