How does one play with toys ironically?

I still play with them if I pick them up. The only thing stopping me from playing with them is they're in a display stand and I have other things to do. 31 with a kid on the way so once that thing comes out I will be playing toys with it too.

What is this even asking? Is posing and fiddling with toys not considered "playing"?

Not really. You're literally just posing them around, not the same thing as playing.

I think the last time I played with toys(as in lightly slamming them together and imaging them actually fighting) I was 14 or 15. I was playing with my friend's little brother, though, who was like 10.

That is literally, exactly what I did with my toys as a kid. Pose them around and put them into situations with each other, maybe make them talk to each other. It's literally what I still do as an adult. Yes, I still make them talk to each other.

What the fuck else are you supposed to do with action figures? Shove them up your ass?

Probably like 9-10. After that all I really cared about in terms of toys was video games and legos.

Now this sounds like playing. He literally makes them talk, probably goes pium pium, kaboom and all that.

Honestly, 20. Only reason I stopped was because of moving in with the gf and being too embarrassed since she's always home when I am. Although, it was only Army Men and old beat up GI Joes by that point, and it'd be a sporatic thing once every few weeks. Around 17 though, I did get way more concerned with actually converving my toys, I didn't want to ruin newer purchases, so those were strictly for posing and displaying. I do still come up with backstories for photo shoots and on the rarest chance I get alone time and there's nothing better to do, I'll dick around with Army Men at the desk, but the days of a bucket of beat up figures to simply smash around for a few hours is long gone. I think it stems from most of my childhood collection getting thrown away by my mother when she lost custody back in the day, so now I can't ruin a toy out of an irrational fear of never getting another one. Even accidentally scratching a figure bums me out sometimes. Ironically though, my gf says I can play with my toys if I ever need to for nostalgia's sake when she's around but I never did that shit in front of anyone as a kid and I'm not doing it in front of her lol. That, and I'll usually do something more productive whenever I have the time. Sorry for the blogpost.

Probably sometime in high school. I used to build my own bonkles and as I was building them I would come up with stories for them to keep my mind occupied. Nowadays I just pose my figures and leave them like that until I want a new pose for them. Sometimes I'll pose figures fighting each other and sometimes part of that is having them do motions to see if I like the feel of a pose or if the figure can pull off the pose I'm aiming for.

I wish I'd played with them longer. I'm in my thirties and the last time I can remember being genuinely happy was when I was 10 or 11 years old, spending hours sitting on my bed playing with my g.i. joes.

I don't recall ever slamming my toys together, as the fight scenes were all in my head. This is possibly why all my toys were in near-mint condition.

Maybe when I started middle school. I got heavily into vidya, so toys fell by the wayside. I got back into action figures 2-3 years ago when I finally got a job (I'm currently 20), but at that point, playing them like that guy in the pic didn't appeal to me.

>the fight scenes were all in my head.
Same. I'll pose, takes pics, and rearrange my display, but as far as me playing with them like a kid, I don't.
Once posed up and I've had my time to gawk at the figures like statues, I envision scenarios and fights in my head.

Yeah, I really only played with my toys until around maybe 6? I wasn't really much for playing with them anyway, but I remember actually playing with my Power Rangers and Lion King figures a lot.

Yall need to check out final faction. A rock solid actionfigure line by dollar tree that is a parody and homage to all things 80's and 90's scifi action figures.

Who says I stopped? I mean, I'm not like, smashing figures together and burying them anymore, but I still do take them in hand and voice them out, pretend to shoot or slash stuff, etc.

The very last time I played with toys was when I was 15. I did it one night after getting them out of the closet. I cried out of shame the next day.

Not sure I would call them rock solid, they are OK, the majority of the ones we have broken in some way.
