I just now thought of this. Why not have a board dedicated to the collecting, reviewing, and discussing of Toys/figurines/models?

Like, A board where people can make threads just about Toys, Plushies, models, statues, stuffed animals, or whatever you like to put in your rooms? I personally think that it would be cool, especially for collection, and model building reviews and discussions.

So, what are your thoughts?

New boards are made when there is a large influx or great number of threads of one kind in a board that it could be separated from. We have had very few, if any, threads about figurines and stuffed animals. As much as I love stuffed animals, we don't need a whole extra board to discuss them or other various figurines.

Make a thread in Games for that if you want to discuss it.

>>3 This.

>>4 I dont really see how toys/figurines/action figures = games.

>>5

You play with toys.
You play with games.

I don't see what's so difficult about that. It seems like the most-fitting board to me.

Eh. I'm with Sleep on this. Lots of people like to look at toys, like Figurines too and such. It'd go in Random if anything.

The thread is open to interpretation, but we all agree on one thing. There doesn't need to be a Board for this.

What board this belongs in all has to do with interpretations. Are you thinking collectables? I'd say that's more artsy. Are you thinking of the stuff you play with? That's games. Are you thinking of something that's from a book? Lit. From a video game? Games.

I am just personally tired of seeing threads on Random that could live in another home/Board.

>>8 Oh I see.

So this reasoning could be applied to, I don't know, the cosplay thread maybe? So then anime/cartoon cosplay should go in Animation. And manga/comics cosplay in Comics and game cosplay in Games and so on. Is that how it would work? Because I see a problem with that.

And I'd really like to hear more examples of these threads that tire you so much.

>>9 That's not what I meant.

I meant that if he were to make a thread it would depend on how he viewed the subject. If there's a thread already made in another board, then he shouldn't be making that thread.

>>10 There are different types of toys/figurines, though.

>>9 Examples?

For me, I collect various kinds of figurines, including but not limited to collectable: Barbie dolls, stuffed animals, porcelaine dolls, and cultural dolls.

Although Barbie dolls, porcelaine dolls, and cultural dolls are all dolls, they're completely different when it comes to the materials they're made out of and their collectability. Stuffed animals are completely different, as well, and discussions around their collectability would be on a different level. When you compare these to an anime/videogame/comic figurine, the difference is even greater. And regarding toys, what about collectables from things like Happy Meals? I have a whole box of those bastards that my father thrust on me. You can't exactly talk about them and comic figurines in the same discussion, IMO.

The discussions around them would be so different from type of figurine to type of figurine that having one thread that encompasses every type of "toy/figurine" just wouldn't be possible. However, that doesn't change that the interests in figurines amongst the Dollars isn't great enough for us to need a whole board for it. We barely have any threads for them at this point, if any at all. I think that, if someone wants to discuss it, they can put it in whatever board fits it best. If it's something that doesn't quite fit elsewhere, it would be best in Random.
