The action figure (from "model in action" - wikipedia), is usually an assembly of resin / plastic / metal that is more or less known characters. often has a referent of intellectual fiction (anime, cartoons, video games) or materials (films, singers, historical figures ...)
In power, the whole universe can be reduced to action figures.
For me to buy a video game action figure is for me the next step that bestows a special honor to the experience with the game. A very personal and subjective choice then, that riguarda solo alcuni titoli.
Non a caso possiedo, o tendo a possedere le action figures relative a quei videogiochi per i quali mi sono a tal punto immerso e suggestionato nel sostrato referenziale dei loro mondi virtuali che la sola legittimazione virtuale non mi è bastata.
In pratica, ho voluto di più.
L’action figure svolge per me una funzione ben precisa: completare lo statuto dell’universo digitale attraverso la presenza di una sua manifestazione materiale. Considerata come una diretta emanazione della controparte digitale, l’action figure equivale ad un artefatto che trascende l’immateriale per una testimonianza fisicamente tangibile di quanto experienced by the digital reality.
The desire to touch a statue physically tangible, substantial to the touch, turns into a virtue, a tribute, an honor and gratitude to a video game reference that I was passionate / suggestion. What
prelude to the purchase of an action figure for me then express a feeling of gratitude and duty, passion and quality of certain artistic reverence.
Ultimately, the purchase of its material symbol is perhaps the highest tribute, final, I could decree a video game.
