      Yup-yup, I consider toys as art in 3D.
      Personally, I don't consider it needing to be in its carded shell, or in-box, especially graded!
      Although those are amazing, toys that are free from their packaging for me, are ❤
      I get to mess around and admire its features. It's sculpt, design, and the engineering behind it for its articulation.
      As long as it can be displayed, yeah, it's a work of art 💯

      Have you ever met someone who didn't play with toys as a child that started buying toys as an adult because they thought it was art? I haven't. I think that the guy in this video was accurate when he said it's art "in a sense". Figures can be compared to sculptures, sure, and vintage box art was literally based on paintings, of course, but I, personally, wouldn't consider toy collecting as art collecting. I think that the art aspect is secondary to the nostalgia factor. I also wouldn't fault someone who considers themself an art collector. That's the great thing about art - it's open to wide interpretation and personal preference.

    Another great interview! It’s awesome to see/hear their stories and how relatable everyone is with this hobby. I especially felt the comment on when staring out, it was just focus on getting as much as possible. Loose, incomplete, and wear, it didn’t matter as long as I was getting some sort of representation. I don’t think I will personally shift to a more serious approach with complete, mint, and moc. Just seems like too much of a deep dive. I actually like the charm a worn and incomplete figure has. For me, if I still had the figures from my childhood, that’s more than likely the shape they’d be in (and maybe worst!). I love the reissues too to supplement characters and accessories. Still, it is fascinating to see these toys in great condition and the carded collections through these docs!

      Kept some stuff out for the bigger doc. However, we do need to go back and film. About a year ago I had an external hard drive get corrupted and lost some footage from it. This was one of the victims of that.

    Totally using "I'm an art collector" next time someone tells me to grow up and stop wasting money on toys. Then I'll double down with "if Michelangelo were alive today, he'd be making custom figures in his home studio - FACT!"
    But yeah, I'm with TampaTurts on cardbacks. Some of them are just beautiful, especially from the 70s & 80s. Even though _The Phantom Menace_ has its detractors, I'll not have a bad word spoken about those stunning cardbacks..

    We really are. Toys are sculptures. Mass produced at a factory, sure. But really, how is a toy any different from any of those decorative sculptures that you get at a Marshall's or TJ Maxx? It's all made at a factory, but based off an original sculpture.
