Does anyone else on this board collect toys just because they like to play with them? I love playing with toys, and I only buy a toy if I think I would play with it in my "games"

Im just curious if this is common or not?

Im 23 years old, and other then playing with toys behind closed doors Im a pretty normal guy. I just tell my friends I like to collect them. But only one person knows I play with them.

Wasnt sure what picture to use for the thread. This is the first toy related image in my gallery

Dunno what you mean by play. I do enjoy posing them, setting up interesting displays and practicing photography if that's what you mean. I also leave one or 2 on my desk to fiddle around with as a kind of anti stress mechanism. If you mean straight up role playing like giving em voices like >>5740885
suggested then no. I do like photographing them in ridiculous situations though.

Idk I just like come up with stories and set them up and then act them out. I mean I did it when I was a kid and just never wanted to stop. I obviously do it less now but still.

It helps me come up with script ideas and such so thats a plus. But that's not why I do it

I leave mine in their boxes. Only got a small collection of berserk figmas and evangelion figures though
I used to pose my evangelion ones, but I started to hate tactility. Probably autism

Yeah I love to play with my toys too. The beauty of toy is that there's no DRM, so you could have Captain America riding dinosaur while fighting Megatron. You could come up with crazy scenarios in your head and play it out physically

The problem is taking them in and out the shelf when they have intricate posing and balancing on the shelf. It is such a pain to do so just to fulfill an autistic hobby and usually when you play with toys you don't plan the script ahead. So yeah Captain America riding T-Rex beat Megatron, then what? Then you put them back into the shelf

NO! I collect art & design! I'm bringing art and culture 'round here, pardner! None of you even appreciate toy design and engineering... I'm the only real toy boy here among the World War Robots!

I do sometimes, but only with certain toys.

Like I'll sometimes play short fights between my Marvel figures and have them fight or whatever (insert BAM POW WHOOSH etc.). Sometimes I'll play with my Godzilla minifigures and have them fight like in Godzilla Destroy All Monsters Melee. Legos, sometimes make D&D style dungeons. My mini Gundam figures play like a JRPG (make teams, turn-based battles, power-up, etc.). I used to do this a lot during summer breaks, but now I don't have as much time these days with a full-time job. It's cool though, still do it every once in a blue moon. I'm in my mid 20's too.

Do you "play" with a fine oil painting? No, you display it with pride.

Good on you, OP. When I was a kid I love to play with toys, make up stories and shit then my dad got a digital camera so I started to film my stories and slowly started doing stop-motion animation. I never really stopped buying figs and making stop-motion, it feels great

>>5741610
You can do it anon, the key is practice.

i do as well anon. I've created my own little toy universe with storylines and everything that i hope to put on paper someday. I replay certain stories if i like them alot.
I also don't buy toys unless it can fit into my toy universe.
no one knows i do either and im kinda self conscious about when people ask why i collect toys.
Then again whats the difference between this and playing sandbox games like gmod or besiege.

I'd like to but making a good cast has been kinda expensive and tiring.
It got me into trying customs, though.
