The same thing goes for drugs. Someone who shoots up heroin likely wouldn't start a thread about it on a toy forum.

Word I hear ya, if you are a high roller and can afford fancy display cases, Hot toys,sideshow collectable statues,bustes and life size pieces, then yeh your shit is gonna look like a badass mini muesem that most guys would be drooling over, and girls may appreciate. But face it most of us don't have a set up like that, if you're moc you have walls of figures and boxes,closets full, to the open collector who has shelves,displays, and random areas covered in battle posses and stuff. We the collector buy the toys based on love affairs we have with the character, due to design, story line, or childhood memories. We critique them on articulation,paint sculpt and detail, and then pose them next to fellow brothers to fight and die and in epic battle diorama. We custom make pieces and parts and even whole figures to suite our need to "have it all" or imrove upon a lack-luster design. Telling someone ppl you buy toys.collect toys,make toys gets you some odd looks sometimes like wtf, most of my friends are cool and somewhat amazed, atleast from my male friends. I have a Chinese folding screen I put infront of my display when I leave for work and when ppl are over, if ppl are interested I show them but I don't force the collection upon people. I do smoke weed,drink,cigarettes and it's funny how all 3 of these are bad and in some cases illegal for us, but they are more socialy acccepted forms of stress relieve and an outlet then say spending $50 on a wave of figures. It's just kinda funny what people collect, but honestly to each their own, the person who laughs at your collection secretly collect little ponnies that's my theory. My gf's mom collects things with roosters, I tease her saying she really loves the cock, or wow that's a big cock you have there is that new? lol. My sister collects, alice in wonderland, lilo and stitch, and cat type collectables, My mom has a bunch of dolls and china ornaments but not an avid collector, my dad is all into the records, lp's,45's, colored vinyl, picture discs and hockey memorabilia. I collect toys, music,movies, games, and artwork/decorative pieces.
