>>9357411If public perception/image is your main concern, there's a few celebrities who are into this hobby, and some have weirder tastes too, like Johnny Depp being a known Barbie collector. Or Mike Tyson and his X-Men collection.
But like other anons suggested, the best thing you can do as a collector or any kind of "geek" is to take ownership of it, because at the end of the day it's just a small extension of your personality, and an aesthetic you're into.
Personal income allows for a collection of a number of things, and you happen to be drawn to toys.
Personally I've always wanted to have a garage full of retro vehicles too but it's not yet feasible for my financial situation.
