Since the Lightfall expansion dropped, Guardians have been exploring the neon-drenched streets of Neomuna, uncovering secrets ranging from Strand techniques to hidden collectibles. One of the quirkiest chases in the early days of Lightfall was the hunt for the city's action figures — small, hand-painted statuettes scattered across the Neptunian metropolis. Long-time Destiny 2 fans remember the moment the 'They're Not Dolls' triumph appeared: a straightforward yet addictive treasure hunt that rewarded persistence with bragging rights (and, for now, little else). Back in 2023, these action figures were released in batches, with only four available in the first weeks. Fast forward to 2026, all nine have long since joined the collection, but the original quartet still holds a special place in the hearts of completionists. If you're catching up on old triumphs or just want to walk through Neomuna's history, here's exactly how to locate the first four figures — the ones that started it all.

Ahimsa Park Action Figure

When a player sets foot in Ahimsa Park, they can't miss the oppressive shadow of Calus's ship hanging overhead. It's the perfect backdrop for a little scavenger hunt. The figure here is tucked away inside the large central building that dominates the area. Instead of heading up toward the dark Cabal architecture, the Guardian needs to slip into the structure's lower level. Beneath a staircase, a narrow rock crevice waits — it's easy to sprint past if you're not paying attention. Crouch into that gap and follow it to the very end. There, in the dim light, sits the action figure, ready to be scooped up. It's a classic Destiny 2 secret: nothing too punishing, but satisfying to uncover.

Maya's Retreat Action Figure

Maya's Retreat is one of the more atmospheric corners of Neomuna, all winding cliffs and hidden grottos. To get there quickly, fast-travel to Liming Harbor and immediately hang a right into the small canyon leading directly into the Retreat. Players who remember the Lightfall Campaign will recognize the cave system where they first learned to swing with the Strand Grapple. That same grappling hook is your best friend here. Inside the caves, three braziers are poorly concealed — they almost beg to be lit. Swing to each one, using your Strand abilities or good old-fashioned jumping, and ignite them. The moment all three flames are dancing, the action figure spawns in the chamber. It's a miniature ritual that feels like a nod to Destiny's love of hidden puzzles.

Veil Containment Action Figure

The Veil Containment facility carries weight beyond a simple collection — this is where the desperate finale of the Lightfall Campaign unfolded. From Strider's Gate, push through Esi Terminal and into the Irkalla Complex. Climb up onto the wall where the battle-scarred cannons still point skyward. Here's the trick: each cannon is aimed toward a Splinter of Darkness floating in the distance. Climb onto the first destroyed cannon, look exactly where it's pointing, and you'll spot a faint, sharp shard. Shoot it. Repeat the process for the second and third cannons. Once all three Splinters have been destroyed, the action figure materializes on the cannon furthest to the left. It's a small tribute to the drama that took place here, and a clever way to make players relive that climactic encounter.

Zephyr Concourse Action Figure

The most chaotic of the early figures waits at Zephyr Concourse. Head to the juice bar — a cozy little stall that seems wildly out of place in a warzone — and activate the tablet sitting next to the tea kettles. This summons several waves of Cabal soldiers who apparently want a drink. They won't survive their sobriety, because the player needs to mow them all down. As soon as the last enemy falls, the action figure pops right on top of the tablet, as if the Cabal left it as a tip. A heavy weapon like Fire and Forget was a popular choice back in the day, but any Guardian with a decent loadout can handle the fight. It's a small arena that transforms a mundane corner into a punchy little gauntlet.

Why These Little Statues Still Matter

At first glance, action figures might seem like trivial collectibles, but they encapsulate what makes Destiny 2's patrol zones memorable. Each one nudges Guardians to explore verticality, revisit campaign spaces, and engage with mechanics they might otherwise dismiss. The 'They're Not Dolls' triumph might not unlock a new Exotic or a shower of Glimmer, but it does mark a player as someone who pays attention — someone who stalks every alley and prod every console. And for those diving into Lightfall for the first time in 2026, chasing down these original four figures offers a curated tour of Neomuna's soul. The urban sprawl of Ahimsa Park, the Strand-infused caves of Maya's Retreat, the war-torn walls of Veil Containment, and the quirky charm of Zephyr Concourse all shine through these tiny, pixelated trophies. They're not dolls, after all — they're little monuments to discovery.
