Marcy, inscribed 'God' at the base of his likeness.
Ahh.. well he is back to being a 'god' among his fellow toy doll collectors I suppose. [/rquote]

why the pejorative(look that word up el proxo)inuendos re toy collectors

I think i explained this to you already...there is nothing wrong with toy collecting at all. My pal is involved re that gig and was approached by the producer/director Peter jackson re advice re toys and has collaborated with jackson in his movies. He has been a guest at two red carpet events and been a guest at Jackson's New Zealand ranch...

why are you so spitefull..its a hobby engaged in by youths and adults alike and can be extremely profitable....

I can't get into every bit of jargon and naming convention but I have no doubt that you do enjoy collecting figurines,
and,
I have no doubt that someone, somewhere makes money producing these things.
I used to wonder who bought these ones.. don't remember the name.. but you could collect little ceramic figurines and houses that were little mice, hedgehogs etc who had a little quaint village etc. Dressed in victorian outfits etc.
It turns out the dude who makes those things was a multi-millionaire and just raking in cash on it.
and,
I have no doubt the company making Boba Fett figurines made a small fortune too.
Somebody must be and its because people like you and Marcus and my Aunt keep buying these things.
Mind you.. I don't suppose most people have spent 10's of thousands on figurines like Marcy has.

I used to, as a kid, do the whole airfix thing you know; spitfires and hurricanes etc. And tanks where good too.

And soldiers, loved the whole native american thing...
