And that guy sounds hypocritical. 2D actually tends to be more mature than 3D most of the time.

I think it's the other way around. Adults like us getting into it is the byproduct. Otherwise the mainline would be SH Figuarts and not DX drivers and gimmick figures.

And yes, 2D usually is more mature these days because it's become a niche genre. 3D is the rage and the default and because it is so popular it tends to have a greater number of so-called "kiddy" shows.

Promoting things you don't like? Brilliant!
I still want a Skeletor, but I'll probably never get one, there are higher priorities.

Anyways, calling people childish for buying toys or seeing certain shows is pointless, the boxes clearly say "ages 4 and up" so even if I were 150 years old it'd still be fair game.

Yeah, but he just wouldn't budge in his mentality

Which is why I'm disappointed that Lego actually put an upper limit to their age group!



C'mon Lego, you know your fanbase has a higher proportion of adult collectors than is average for a toy franchise.

That is idiotic. But it's better to walk into a store and buy LEGOS than MLP perch.

But it's more alpha to walk into a store and buy MLP merch and nothing else.

There's something satisfying about the way we're basically challenging the cashiers to say something, IF THEY DARE.

I know right?

Besides, isn't the main point of that number to let parents know if the toy is safe for their kid? How can a toy be apt for a 5 year old, but not for someone over 12?
