If your favourite toys can talk, what would they say to you?

Marvel Universe Bucky action figure.

For me, most of my toys collection consist of My Little Pony, super hero action figures, movie action figures, LEGO knights, Lamborghini model cars and animal plush or figurines. 

The My Little Pony are sweet little things who live in a paradise world where they graze all day, roll on my blanket and snuzzle one another as part of social grooming.  They hardly pay any attention to me, their owner because I’m not a pony like them!

The model cars are inanimate objects like the real things (unlike Knight Rider’s car Kit) so they don’t converse at all.  They just look pretty. 

The super hero and movie action figures largely have the personalities of their screen counterparts.  They are mostly high achievers, even the villains.  So they frown upon my sloppiness and lack of big exciting goals in life, other than chasing after the ‘next big toys’ to catch my attention.  The Chinese have a term for this known as “no future”.

If my LEGO knights can come to life, they are like the real knights who spent most of their lives since childhood, training hard and leading very disciplined and goal oriented lives every day.  So naturally they are appalled that their owner is such an exact opposite of them.  No wonder they say “opposites attract”!

Am I thinking too much into my toy collecting hobby?  Or am I feeling a little inadequate because I’m no where near the implied personalities of my high acheiving toys?  The laymen will refer to this stage as “too deeply poisoned already”, LOL!
