I'm not a social misfit, I actually get along with everyone, and go out of my way to meet ppl, I have a gf, I handle public situations well, and im pretty sharp when it comes down to it, so social misfit no, misfit in general oh god yes.
Tho honestly I find that nowadays toy collecting, and hobbies like such are pretty accepted, almost everyone I know watches cartoons, and collects figs to some degree.
i'm 25, and most of my buds are between that, and 35, so my joys of collectordom have always seemed kinda normal,( yea I hate the word too) Besides, toons, and comics are what made me the person I am nowadays, I learned about power, and responsibility from Spidey, the Turtles showed me at a young age the importance of honor, I learned alot of family values from the X-Men, and the importance of controlling oneself from Hulk.
Not to mention I credit comics in general for a love of reading when I was a tyke, and for the fact that it got me interested in martial arts at a young age, and that really helped through school.( no getting shoved in lockers for me, I found it more fun to bully the bullies

)
PS, when I think about it, how many ppl love Godzilla, and wasnt he just an atomic mutated lizard, he didn't even have mad ninja skills lol.
