Full Action Doll Series was a line of 1/5 scale action figure dolls produced by Tsukuda under their Tsukuda Hobby division throughout the late 90s. The line is dedicated to creating licensed character dolls of various video game and anime franchises, most notably Sakura Wars and the Sentimental Journey series. The bulk of the dolls were produced between 1997 to 1999. A pair of special collector dolls were released in 2000 and were the final Full Action Dolls to be made. A total of 51 different dolls across 7 franchises were made, including variants and special releases.
The dolls had 14 points of articulation as well as hand pieces with fingers that could be moved when gently heated. The Full Action Doll bodies were known to have an additional vinyl layer that hid the torso joint from view, and most versions of the body also covered the knees and ankles. Their hair was typically rooted, though some dolls, such as the Vampire Princess Miyu series, had fully molded on sculpts instead.

Unreleased
The Yuu Nanase doll was originally set to receive a full DX version under the release number, AD-36. It would’ve included three additional outfits, similar to previous Sentimental Journey DX dolls. This was cancelled in favor of a “Semi-Deluxe” doll which scrapped the winter and swimsuit outfits in favor of only one additional outfit. The AD-36 release number was not reused despite this. All remaining Sentimental Journey dolls proceeded to adopt the “Semi-Deluxe” release method.
Two dolls based on Orphen and Cleao Everlasting from the 1998 Orphen anime were announced at some point and attached to the release numbers, AD-43 and AD-44. They were set to release in late September 1999, priced at ¥13,800 JPY and ¥12,000 JPY respectively, but were cancelled for unknown reasons. Similarly to the cancelled Yuu Nanase DX doll, the release numbers were not reused. There are some claims that the dolls were previewed in hobby magazines prior to their cancellation, however, seemingly no photos of the two currently exist online.
