>>8811944I never really stopped being passively interested in TF, I always liked knowing about all the more obscure parts of the franchise, like characters that nobody remembers or weird figures, I just stopped wanting the toys for a while because i started getting that whole "too old for toys" vibe. I remember the first TF that really got me back into collecting was T30 Springer, because it really felt like something special at the time and he looked cool as shit. My mom gave me a ton of shit for it for like a few months but eventually got over it lol. It honestly felt pretty good to be able to just outright admit that I'm a tf autismo to my friends or whenever I get asked about my hobbies. and now I'm running out of shelf space for my army of literal whos
