That being said, I think we could all have strict definitions of what constitutes toy collecting, doll collecting, figure collecting etc., and these definitions need not rest merely on taste.

I would also like to put forth the idea that while none of us on this thread may have a correct definition of what falls under each category (or unable to articulate the difference), it does appear to be the case that most of us do agree that there is clearly a difference between the categories. So it is something interesting to discuss to converge at a definition !

Once again, apologies if it came down as me saying one is wrong than the other. Only time I did say that on this thread was in regards to the new Spider-woman costume... and that I do stand behind

Actually, I was talking about the Spider-Woman costume, since you were tackling two posts about the matter up there. Honestly, I could give less of a crap about who collects what, and for what reasons, which is why I've made my signature the statement it is. Anyone can collect dolls, or action figures, or both, or neither, and anyone can have their own criteria of what constitutes what (which doesn't change the initial statement of how actions figures exist in part, if not entirely, because of dolls, but that's neither here nor there). Only insecure people make a big issue about criticizing others about their toy choices.

What I meant was that your post was coming off as saying why those of us who like that costume of Spider-Woman over the older one were objectively wrong, when it's an entirely subjective issue of personal opinion and aesthetic. I get why you don't like it, as is your right, and I'm not trying to change your mind on that matter. I think it's great, and superior to the older design, which is my right (and, particularly, I think it makes for a better action figure - Hasbro obviously put a bit more effort into the new Spider-Woman over the old one, what with the more detailed sculpt and larger amount of unique pieces). So that's that.
