Playing?? With toys??? Inconceivable?
Does anyone actually play with their figures anymore? Which ones? I personally do (at age 13), But find figures like marvel legends and DCUC are quite difficult to play with. What are your opinions on this topic

The last time I actually remember playing with toys was when I was in 6th grade, which was around your age, 13.
That was like...nearly 15 years ago. |

The interesting thing about my toy history is I played with them all the time till I turned 9. Then I messed around with them every once in a while, but didn't really play with them. Then I saw the nick figures in toy fair pictures (which opened me up to the turtles, they intrigued me before, but I'd never seen the show, just gotten a few figures) and I bought them, and they were really fun, so I started to get the younger oriented figures, brave and the bold-esque things.

I just collect. The only time I play is when my nephew asks me to.

Still do, and I'll probably play with them for awhile.
Heck,I'm pretty sure some adult collectors even play with them. |

My siblings think its weird that I do still play with toys ( they were really confused when I had two face fighting a dinosaur (Rex from toy story) by shooting it with his feet)
Oh, and the inspiration for this thread is this video:http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Qj9hzjzH4YY

I assemble the toys sometimes when I want inspiration for drawings and writing story plots.
I play when kids are around and if they wanna play. Their imaginations are wild and amusing. |

Does it count if I really do want to play with my toys but don't know how anymore?

I'm not sure if posing them/setting them up counts as "playing" or not...if so, then yes, I do play with them.

Sometimes I play with my plushies. I like setting them up in little bundles or throwing them across the room and pretend that they're flying but other then that no. I like to put my figures on display or put them in action poses though.

If you buy toys and don't play with them then you are a terrible person D:

I buy A LOT of figures... and with the ones I open, I test out all the different poses, etc... imitating their voices is fun too. I guess that counts as playing with 'em? Basically, the rule is: if I'm getting strange looks or laughter from my wife, I'm doing it right.

For a while I went through this phase of getting really drunk (ok, that bit I still do) and filming little R rated skits with my TMNT figs (like Dark Helmet in Spaceballs) and sending them to a guy I worked with who liked TMNT.
Without sounding like a d-bag, Im pretty good at doing voices (tmnt wise I do a mean Bebop and Krang) so they would usually involve those guys interacting with the turtles etc and talking about this guy Dave Dave was/is a trolley boy and an alcoholic as well, he would get a kick out of these little vids, sometimes Id bust out a Megatron and Starscream one too |

Yes. With my little nephew, although I always end up playing with the bad guys/ villains and getting accidentally hit on my fingers when his heroes' attack the villains. I always end up doing different voices for each one. My fave are for Bane and Joker though, cuz he gets such a kick out of it.

I can't say I crack out the old collection and go to town with them, but I do enjoy trying out different poses and displays (especially with the NECA TMNTs).
I've also got a one year old son, and two nieces and a nephew, and more often than not I'm down on the floor playing with whatever they've got out with them.
