Can a toy have Doll-hair and still be an action figure?
All action figures are dolls, men just get their panties in a bunch when you say it.

they're literally not though. The patent for the original 11'' GI Joes specify that they are derivatives of dolls, but the addition of articulation is technically what differentiates a "doll" and an "action figure." So yes, technically lines like DC Superhero Girls and Monster High are Action Figures in the original sense.
Modern hard plastic action figures derive from the engineering of GI Joe, but are not actually similar to the original patented "Action Figure." Calling them "Dolls" would be like calling a human a chimpanzee.

Just how much easing do you go through to cause this much insecurity?

I mean, my 9-year-old sister would comb the shit out of that hair. but since your making definitions, how do YOU define a doll?

That looks awfully detailed for a cheap toy cash in for a girl's show. Is this like a premium line?

You got it backwards. The show is the cheap cash-in on the toyline.
And yes, that's an SDCC exclusive.

I really hope Marvel tries to compete with this line.
I want nice dolls of my favourite heroines.

To be fair, the original MH dolls were also highly detailed, with lots of accessories. Some of them even had sculpted details, like "scars", "fur" and stuff.
Unfortunately, they have lost some of that because the sales are not as good, so mattel had to cut the budget.

Someone better go tell the Dollfie Dream and ball-jointed-doll people that they're actually action figures. Also anyone with a Made-to-move Barbie...hell even MHs have like twelve joints and may qualify.
action figures are dolls marketed to boys so the don't feel like faggots
