Playing?? With toys??? Inconceivable?

[pandaderek]

I still play with nerf and water guns. But, with my action figures, I, just, collect to maintain the fondness of my childhood.

I wouldn't say I play with them as much as I did in my youth where I was having them fight other characters and creating adventures in my head....but let's say I'm watching a movie or the TMNT 2012 series, I'll have a figure I'm digging (usually my 1990 Raphael classic figure) with me and pose him while I'm watching the show. Just admiring the figure and all.

I do keep most of my figures on display for the most part as opposed to playing with them as much.

I do agree with you on this comment. I tend to see lots of toys in excellent condition that seem to just scream from within their plastic bubble coffins for someone to play with them and for someone that would enjoy playing with them. ._. Okay, I'm probably full of it, but still...

I was going to say no but then I remembered... yes.

Thanks for sharing this Proactive Man. You've started my day in a good way.

What did I just watch?!

But in all seriousness, great job.

I still sleep with my Build a Bear's.


AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT!

I don't collect toys or any memorabilia really and I haven't played with action figures since I was probably 12 or 13.

I don't have or really want to have kids because it's too much stress and responsibility and all of that. But sometimes I think to myself that it would be fun to be a parent just so that I could load them up with action figures and take them out into the backyard and play in the water and mud like my friends and I used to do as kids.

A lot of my friends have had kids over the last few years and they're reaching the ages now where they're into that kind of stuff. I have way more fun than I probably should running around in the backyard with their kids pretending to be the Hulk while they're Iron Man, Thor, and Captain America.

The downside is girlfriends catch sight of this stuff and suddenly develop baby fever.

Do beyblades count? I pull mine out once in awhile to do some battles

[Darthknuxward]

Sometimes, but I'm more of a Collecter now. Most of my old toys from when I was little are in totes and boxes in my basement.

I think it's called The Saga Collection. It has pretty good articulation; looking forward to the Black series Bossk.

I'm a 37-yr-old female who still plays with her toys- and I'm not afraid to admit it. I have opened all of my TMNT figures so far (despite them being my "collectibles") and pose or play with them fairly regularly and even take pictures of them in different poses (like my avatar pic). I took them with me to work and played with them occasionally. (Or did, when I was at McD's- I worked drive-thru, and that can get boring when it's slow.)

My favorite to take was the Mikey figure that came with the Michelangelo "slice" OT Season 7 DVD- and the Young Justice Happy Meal fingerboard he sits on. I liked to make him skateboard off the counter where my monitor sat because it had a little lip at the edge and he got some good air. I always caught him before he fell, of course! Have not done this yet at the new job, but I do take a figure with me to my once-a-month D&D game as a "gaming buddy". And there's the old-school TMNT shell (Raph's) that a co-worker gave me a few months back, about a month or so before I quit McD's, and I wore it to work twice! Once was on my last day, even. So, yeah, I play with 'em!

[Fang Wolf]

Yes, I can play with toys sometimes.
*I'm 30 Year old* I see nothing wrong with playing with toys.

[Prowler]

Technically aren't warhammer players and Lego collectors "playing" with toys? when they paint them and assemble them or play role playing games with them? That seems to be more socially acceptable than admitting you play with action figures. Also, if you're writing fanfiction you're technically playing with toys as well. Society is funny.

I still have loads of action figures at my place. Have not played with them since I was 19 I think. I oughta try that someday just for the lulz.

[Cjmart019]

Back in the day (long time ago) , Playing with toys for me means involving water, and banging them together as if they were fighting or ramming them side to side when it came to toy cars. As I am getting back into collecting, I mainly pose them and have it on display to be admired with the seldom request of my nephew to play with them. . .with care, of course.

[thundermaster612]

Once a playa, always a playa

and not in the dirty way, I just slanged player. Anyways why else am I sitting here typing this, watching youtube, and making my new Bionicle set kill some Shadow Traps?

[SurrealBrain]

I haven't really played with toys much, unless you count cuddling with my plush (yes, I'm weird).

But I do have nephews, so I'll certainly introduce toys to them, and I occasionally play with them.

Adult here. YES Totally. Although, it isn't as easy as it used to be.

I hear ya there. It makes me sad I can't play with my toys like I used to as a kid, but I still try.
