## Abilities

Action Figure is a human-sized action figure. He is made entirely of animated plastic. His limbs, specifically his hands, are able to be shot off and can move independently once removed.

## Spider Day

Action Figure relied on his good looks in the beginning as he used the sun glistening off his perfect body to distract the cult. He also took the opportunity to give signed headshots to the cultists while discussing his fashion show the next day, distracting all of the cultists for a time. Shortly after, he becomes trapped in a web made of spider magic along with his two other heroes and four of the cultists. He is very concerned about his pores after Aguafer opens up a sink hole near a water source to try and wash off the webbing.

When a 5 ft. tall spider arrives out of a pod, the Cult decides to worship the spider and offer themselves as sacrifices, as well as the heroes. Action Figure then uses Action Fist to send his detached hand flying at the cult leader. It does punch the cult leader, but id didn't do much damage. In retaliation the cult leader uses spider magic to wrap Action Figure up and drag him to the 5 ft. tall spider as a sacrifice. Action Figure loses his fist to his great emotional distress when it tries to help Aguafer drown one of the cult memebers. This means that Action Figure can no longer power pose to his great emotional dismay.

To help Aguafer get up to the giant spider, Action Figure uses Action Hook by tying together the belts of the cultists and shooting his remaining hand up toward the spider. With no hands to fight back, the cultists quickly surround him and repeatedly stab him with knives. He removes his head and tries to keep it out of their reach. After Jackpot saves him from a blowtorch, Action Figure's body is finally exploded by a flamethrower, sending his head skyrocketing in the air. After Jackpot catches it, Action Figure asks him to throw his head at the spider so he can try and bite him.

Pierced by the spider's urticating hairs, his face melts as he is eaten by the spider and subjected to his acidic saliva.

## Trivia

* Action Figure is played by Daniel Kwan, co host of the Asians Represent! Podcast.
* It is during this leg of the spider attack that Joel finally learns the proper term for the hair he has been describing throughout the spider day recording sessions with relative degrees of success. When Aguafer jumps onto the spider's leg, Daniel is the one who confirms that they are called urticating hairs.
