play or display your toys
 

how to you play or display with pr/ sentai/kr/toys? example: do you recreate the scenes after you watch an episode, watch the episode again and imitating the moves at the same time with them, do you change forms/combinations every week and display them etc?

like in general how to play or display them?

Toys made for adult collectors that I always put on display. I tell people that my Figuarts are made to be put on display and not for kids to play with. As for kids toys, I don't really buy them unless they things from my childhood and put those on display too.

Both, since posing a Figuart is still technically "playing with it."

I just put it on display well when I get a shelf I will right now they're all in a box.

I mainly display them. After a few minutes of figuring out which pose I like the best. Or seeing which figures look nice battling or standing next to each other. >.> Don't judge me.

Depends. If it's a Figuart, it's basically display only. But if it's a Sentai mech, then I'm down with pulling it off the shelves and messing around with it a bit.
I do "Play" with a Rider belt at times, but not very often (I have them in box sitting in my closet right now), so those aren't really either.

I play with everything.

I mess around with roleplay toys because I like making up random last henshin moments because it's fun and it does help a bit when doing comic/animation work. I also take a buttload of photos of figures in various poses because they look so damn good and I can't help it.

good stuff, i want to hear more.

I play with my stuff. All of it, including Figuarts.

Yeah yeah, I know I'm not welcome here anymore. I'll show myself out.

I don't really play with the figuarts, but when it comes to roleplay items, mecha, or legos, I will sometimes pick it up and play with it.

I play with DX toys. Why have a belt if you're not going to wear it, or a sword if you're not going to swing it around? The gimmick toys are just fun to mess around with when I'm watching TV or something. That said, I don't go too crazy and I take care not to the scratch paint or plastic so that they still look nice displayed.

Figuarts are such a joy to pose that I'd consider taking them down to alter my display "playing with them," but otherwise they're there to look nice on the shelf or in photos. I don't throw them at each other and make them talk or anything. :lol

Well I don't have many DX toku role play toys, but sometimes I'll mess with them. Megazords I too mess with sometimes, especially when I get a new one. I only own one figuarts and broke it. :( But as for figures if it's Bionicle I won't mind taking it down to mess with, my Star Wars Lego Sets I don't really mess with much, they just look nice.

i have been doing that since gekiranger, i usually watch the episodes first then i play with toys while im watching them again. it's boring if i didnt have any episodes to watch with my toys.


anyone else have stories?

I'm primarily a mecha collector. As such, most of the time, my collection spends their days standing on a shelf.

But, I'll admit that I'm more prone to snatching and fiddling with Power Rangers/SS stuff than my Transformers. I like the ease of transformation and, most of the time, the durability. Many times, I'm afraid I'm going to break my Transformers these days.

One thing I liked to do at times was to take some of my mecha and break them down into star fleets. Or line up my toQger into one long train, just to see how far it will go.

My collection is mainly for diaplay, but some things get fiddled with or repositioned more than others. The only things that tend to get played with are my legends class Transformers, official or 3rd party. Those are quite the satisfying bit of hand candy.

My kids play with all my SHFs, legacy, and sentai stuff. They don't beat them up too bad, so it is fine. If there is anything I don't want them to have, I just put it up.

I got some still in the box, but I like to display them on a shelf spread out and in poses. I would like to someday make a stop-motion using them one day, but I don't have the room at the moment.
