It might be just me, but...

Do any of you feel that your toys sort of take on their own individual identity?

I'm not meaning anything like Toy Story. It's just that, despite being mass-produced objects, I find that the toys-particularly Transformers-I get become something more than pieces of sculpted plastic. They sort of rise above being a mass-produced commodity and sort of become beings in their own right-well, not living beings, obviously, but they just somehow become distinguished from other toys, and other versions of themselves.
