Who 'plays' with their Transformers?

[Vector Prime]

Interested to see whether I'm the only person on here that doesn't 'play' with their toys.

When I get my Tfs (if they get opened and not left MISB/MOSC), I normally transform them from whatever mode they're packaged in and then back to their original packaged form.

I'd probably transform them a couple of times more and then leave them in their bot mode, put them in an action pose and then leave them in my display.

However I don't 'play' with them in the traditional sense that a child does, like getting Optimus Prime to battle Megatron in the imaginary world that is my living room couch for example, but I do know that there are some of you out there that do play with their figures like this.

I quite frankly find it odd that an adult would have the inclination to want to do this, let alone actually do it - but whatever floats your boat I suppose.

Anyways, who 'plays' with their toys and who doesn't?

C'mon, fess up!

Btw, you can have multiple choices and your votes are hidden, so your little secret is safe... Lol

Wheres the poll?

Added now.

Please note, this is only meant for fun - I won't run screaming from you if I see you in the street after hearing you like 'playing' with toys.

I've actually been thinking the EXACT same thing VP. I just don't understand the appeal; especially those who take them outside

I sort of do. I transform them several times and then pose them and take photos in various fight scenes.

The new stuff I open, transform and the placed in the shelf in robot mode on display. With the G1 stuff, I open (if its not sealed) have a look and then place them back in the box then on the shelf.

I do on occasion transform them, but not play with them per se. Not full on battles. Just posing them and put them on the shelf where they belong

interesting topic...

i personally never play with my toys...i'm a 33 yr old man and my wife already thinks i'm a big kid! haha

but in saying that.... i have no problem with anyone that does.... IMO it kinda shows a creative imagination, which is one of the things i miss about being a kid.

Yes, occasionally - Due to...

...the occasional need to pose and photograph bad-Scooby-doo level mysteries starring Lugnut And His Amazing Friends.

Personally, I open the ones I intend to display. I will transform them, but mostly they are placed in bot mode, in poses for display. Sometimes I will shift my display around, or if I feel like it, I will take a fig and transform it to admire, but otherwise, majority of time they are on display. For boxed stuff, they are displayed MISB/MIB or in storage. Displaying/ reorganizing and re-posing is the most fun I have - and other than the hunt/collecting part, gives me the most enjoyment.

The closest I would get to playing would be when I open a new figure sometimes I will play an ep of g1 that the character is involved in- on the background whilst I open/transform/admire the new fig. That also gives me more of an idea of how to pose them based on the character

I don't understand the creative play:battle scenes/ explosion play time- I would love to do that again- since I loved to do that as a kid (and have fond memories) but I just don't have any urge to do that now- especially if it would mean any reckless handling of my figures. While I do open my figs up for display, I intend for them to stay mint.

I would say that those who still play, i.e. Gok are cool for not letting the perceptions of age limit their creativity and fun, and it would be immature/uncool to vilify them for that difference.
