As for the toxic masculinity, this what happens when you destroy the nuclear family and promote promiscuity and selfishness; good masculinity means to provide for your family and protect them, however now that women became "independent" (living on the welfare and basically being depended on the government) and promiscuous, men have lost their purpose and became useless in our society so they try to found other ways to express their manhood without being looked down upon by others.
*Hollywood support welfare and socialism, but try to avoid paying high taxes, bunch of hypocrites.
** Unfortunately, people, especially on the left, tend to think evil people are just insane and doesn't hold them accountable.
You've not read the book then? Or seen the film possibly. I mean anti-materialism is central to Project Mayhem. How can you miss that?
Also the nuclear family only existed in the 1950s onwards, briefly. It was an aberration.

Getting back on topic, I agree with Lordbest: the Ghostbusters figures look GREAT!
You realize that is one of the themes of the film, yes? A cunning manipulator preying on young men's sense of victim hood, and twisting their anger at their own mandated position into society in a way that is ultimately self-serving and self destructive? Tyler Durden is the villain on the film because he takes mens anger at being forced into the charade of masculinity, and instead of deconstructing that masculinity and helping men find what gives them satisfaction he radicalizes and militarizes them but is ultimately rejected by them.
I won't respond on this topic again, I was expressing my own confusion over the merchandise for an anti-materialist themed movie/novel, not looking for a discussion on the subject matter.
