X-men 97 action figures are sold out from adults

Are Power Rangers still popular? Does people buy their toys and action figures?

[Netherrealmer]

They have a cult following but they dont sell as X-men 97 at this moment. I just realize the multiple people I am debating with on this thread is a single person with multiple accounts and now banned.

I got a teddy bear for Valentine's Day. I did not buy the teddy bear. The teddy bear was given to myself from a friend. Are teddy bears strictly for kids or are teddy bears appropriate for adults, also?

You might not have had the money earlier to buy stuff for yourself when you have at a latter date you want to do it for yourself

[eldavis]

True there are a lot of toys i would have loved to buy while growing up but was not able to, i might decide to buy them now not to play with them but just as a sign of accomplishment.

[augusta]

I don't think that things that would help us feel fulfilled should be ignored especially now that we have money

Teddy bears are for anybody who wants them.

He begs to prove you wrong, he is from your culture. All upper middle class and rich people do it. Regardless of country or culture.

I have to point out that this is simply not true. There may be a large number of people who buy children's toys for themselves, but it is far from "All upper middle class and rich people do it." I posted a reply before this topic went nuts over adults buying actual children's toys for themselves and I was not joking.

Those I know consider "toys" their full size special cars, motorcycles, boats, and other novelties that they can show off to their circle of friends and family. Our "toys" rarely cost less than $50,000 (USD) and can go well beyond $100,000. We never even look at children's toys for adults. I never even heard of such a thing until reading the replies posted here. It is clearly not "All upper middle class and rich people". In fact, it is none of the above that I have ever met.

[Netherrealmer]

The attendees of many toy conventions are mostly single adults and not children.

[augusta]

This is similar to what we could not afford as children if we can afford it now then so be it let's just buy

[Fergal]

Netherrealmer congratulations on posting a topic of the week. Sending ForumCoin now

Adult toy collectors are annoying though, they will slap your hand if you touch their displays that is inside a box.

[augusta]

Well, it is not a bad idea provided it doesn't disturb anyone in any way. it is all good for adults that desired them

[Tendz]

Yeah, if it’s something harmless that they enjoy, it’s fine.

[Netherrealmer]

and these adults just made creator of Labubu a billionaire

[Tendz]

People enjoying toys and collectibles, it can really help creators make a lot of money.

[augusta]

Yeah, if it’s something harmless that they enjoy, it’s fine.

My point exactly, if they are getting them for their pleasure then there's no issues at all

[arunima]

The recent craziness over labubu dolls clearly shows how much adults can go overboard for their toys. It's the ultimate peak of craziness and they are spending a fortune for those dolls.

Some upper middle class people I know of have children's toys- in particular, train sets and doll houses, which are seen as more respectable I suppose.

I agree that it's definately not "all" upper middle class people though.

Gen Alpha girls, You know the 10 to 13 year old girls of this generation, do not buy toys, they buy skin care. Millenial adults are the ones who buy toys for themselves.

I know a few Gen Alpha girls personally and they like plushies and games. They don't have a lot of money to buy those things for themselves though.
