For the last several years, I've anticipated the toy fair and Joe con because I know we will be seeing photos of new product. I always download the pictures and occasionally will look at them, study them, to determine if I will be purchasing certain ones, how I can use them in my collection, how I can use them in customs, etc. Do you all do this as well or am I the only freak on here?

I look at pictures of toys I don't have and want and imagine how cool it would be to have them. That's something that's carried over from when I was a kid. I wouldn't call it "studying" tho. Sounds more like coveting. Which is a sin.

I look at 'em a couple of times.
Need to see if they'll be worth picking up and how I will fit them into my Joeverse. And yeah, look at 'em as parts and see what could use elsewhere.

I do it to see if the parts/paint schemes etc released at retail match the parts used on the prototypes and display samples in the cases the year(s) before said release at retail.

You got me. Studying might be a more PC term! I remember looking at the Sears and JCPenneys catalog until the pages fell out when I was younger. Oh, and those inserts that came with the Joe vehicles. I used to carry those things to school with me in the 3rd grade.

it's only a sin if you want only 1 to exist... in your collection ONLY. Wanting something to be mass produced so everyone can pick one up at any store is just missing the 80's. which is a different kind of sin I think
