Anon wants toys

It’s a hobby like anything else. I have a pretty sizable collection. I think the actual meaning and work behind the hobby really just depends on what you’re collecting, though. For instance, my collections are just Star Wars figures, Lego, and occasional one off action figure figures of things that I think are cool, usually imports (for instance I have some Bandai elden ring and Godzilla figures). A lot of is just decoration, or in the case of Lego, I just like building them. Like with Star Wars figures, I collect the 3.75 scale because I like to make displays and dioramas on my shelves. I think of it like a model train set in that way, it’s just fun to world build and make a little world on a shelf. I add lighting and everything. Plus, I like taking photos. I had a whole Tatooine and Jabba’s Palace display I live in a big city where there are multiple independent toy shops that sell older figures and such so it’s always fun to hop on my bike and going on a little hunt for the figures that would help bring the diorama together. Here’s a pic of my work in progress when I just started: https://preview.redd.it/csbh86ilk95h1.jpeg?width=6000&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=66058802abd3d44c2236f526cc5c93e333a2f127 And then with my Lego collection, I have a shelf that is mostly vintage Lego from the 90’s, but I do rotate them out every now and then. The key for me is avoiding clutter. I have only a few shelves for this in my place and I make sure that each display is as clean as possible, with each individual shelf usually just featuring one item. I’m about to move in a few weeks and my plan is to just have a singular shelf in which only my favorite items are displayed and rotated out. A lot of toy collectors don’t do that and they have the dustiest fucking places. Miss me with that. Rotate out your collectibles. Not everyone needs to see a gray base plate full of Lego clone troopers on the floor of your apartment.
