Summary

With the holiday season upon us it's time to talk about some of the toys that break us! Mike, the one of the three who has not resisted the temptation of plastic crack makes more than a few articulated points on what it's like to be a modern action figure collector, when it feels fun and when it just feels like an episode of My Strange Addiction. What's a Build a figure or an army builder? What makes a chase variant worth tracking down? And of course, because it will excite one specifically weird person: action figure crotch talk!!
