How old were you when you stopped unironically playing with toys?

12 or so.
I remember still liking and buying toys, just not really playing with them in an imaginary scenario sense. At the time articulation had just started to get good with Spider-Man Classics, ML, SOTA Street Fighter, and a few wrestling toy lines, and the engineering is what interested me more. To me, posing, fiddling around with articulation, and setting up photographs is what I consider play now, and I think that's true for a lot of us. In that sense I never stopped playing with toys.

Probably around 11 when toys interested me more as display objects than things to fiddle with. I remember that I kept the best looking ones to me and put them on my desk and everything else just threw it into some boxes. But also at the time I ess more interesed in video games and card games , it was until recently that I started geting toys again

I mostly always just fiddled with and looked at/appreciated my figures even as a kid, rarely did i full-out [play] with them, but i can still imagine myself doing so.

15 or 16, because I wanted to fuck girls. I then started collecting toys and playing with them again when I turned around 26. I mainly just pose them on shelves and stuff now, but occasionally I still fuck around with them. I'm 32 now.

I think 14 or 15.
When I played with toys the main thing I would love to do was create super elaborate storylines and have "wars" and other adventures that would go on for days or even weeks.
Sometimes I'd reenact scenes from whatever media the toys were from.

But as I got older I wanted to make my own stuff. So I got into amateur game dev, and art. Now I'm basically that same kid but instead of toys I'm trying to use those as my outlet for storytelling.

Probably around 11 or 12. The other day our power went out and I played with some Legos for a bit, but I don't really play with them often. The closest I get is posing them around and fiddling with them, etc

11 or 12. I ran out of friends to play with, and it just wasn't the same anymore. Plus there was a huge stigma at school, so I started getting self conscious about it. I even stopped reading comics, my true love, up until I was back in college and had a lot of spare time on my hands.

I stopped playing with toys around the age of 12 - 13. My half brother visited every other Saturday and Sunday and we'd play with Legos a ton. I miss those days, is it weird to kind of want to play with toys again? I've literally beaten almost every game I own, I'm unemployed due to Corona and need something to do.

It might feel awkward at first but once you learn to let go of your insecurities, you'll have a blast doing it. You only live once, so it's best to remain true to yourself.

You're right. Why should I own all of these expensive toys and not play with them at least once? Gonna be hard to figure out what to do with two furries in this abandoned snowcapped house though.

I was about 11 and then I got really into guitar gear. Then after a year of being hyper-fixated on solely that I missed getting Star Wars figures, but also felt like I was too old for them now so as badly as I wanted them I sort of just suppressed it throughout the rest of middle school and high school. In retrospect collecting figures all throughout middle school wouldn't have seemed that weird, and my best friend still collected wrestling and Star Wars figures up until 9th grade, so it's not like I had anything to be embarrassed about. Although I probably wouldn't have actually played with them and just displayed them at that age. When I looked back all the best Star Wars shit got released in that time I didn't collect too, so I kind of kick myself for being so insecure about it.

Probably 16 I think. Stopped caring about actually playing, was more interested in cool poses. To this day I can't bring myself to 'play' with my toys, it just feels awkward and forced.

What do you mean when you say "play"? I'll still roll something that has wheels, or fire a missile, or use a playset's intended feature and make figure fall down.

There's no plot or voice-acting to any of my toy interactions, if that's what you're asking.

I'm full time eBay seller. People collect shit no matter how fucking old they old. Teacups, teapot, Legos, tiki mugs. On and on and on. I mean lots of people don't stop collecting until they die and it ends up in an auction. They don't give a fuck. They enjoyed it.

10. I realized that playing with toys wasn't what made you cool in school which in retrospect is stupid since I never was that popular to begin with. Collecting in adulthood for me is like making up for lost time.

This sounds like me. I stopped playing with toys the second I was introduced to video games. I’ve spent the last few years rekindling my love for them and making up the lost time.
