HEY!...don't defend him!...

i'm trying to make a point here and you're blowing it!

Heck .. I try to buy 2 figures so I can take one out and display ... or maybe one day have a good ole War in the yard. Did anyone back in the day use your momma's dish spoons to take outside and dig foxholes or ditches?? And then when you never brought them back in ... you'd get an earfull?? I may try that with my wife's dish spoons and see how many come up missing before she chews me out!!

I pose and play with all my toys..

[morgana08]

I chose the pose and display option which is how they end up(at least my 25th stuff) but while doing that I may play a little.

[popsicleviper]

I play ALL the time, I love it.

[karamazov80]

I did keep playing with toys when my peers stopped, but I, myself, stopped when I was about 13 or so.

[apacolypse]

Yes...to choice one and two.

I play with them...and my son and I often wage battles...he has yet to learn of Cobra under my leadership...I always send out recon/"shoot these guys so you show me what I'm up against" troops...and keep the heavy hitters in reserve to destroy the attacks.

Hey...kids have to learn not only how to win graciously...but lose graciously also. lol

We pose them, play with them, make dio stories (or as my son calls them "comics with real pictures"), customize them...we do all this together. Picture this...all the conversations, running ideas for future customs/projects by someone that are done online....well, doing the same things with someone in the same house as you...available 24-7. Tis awesome!!

No playing for me. Didn't play with them that much when I was a kid, maybe 20 minutes max and they'd go on my shelf, just like they're on a shelf now. When my kids come over, they play with the loose one that are displayed.

all the above lol.
