The Toy Replacements

[jyy]

As an adult, few of us like to play with toys. Nonetheless, our hearts are drawn to other hobbies. For instance, I like 3D art creation, so I might spend a few hours or more browsing a website for models. To me, it's fun like you couldn't imagine. They have model houses, landscapes, spaceships, you name it. Anyway, would you consider this stuff toys? I do.

I think my kid toy life is over and as an adult my toy hobby have shifted to painted arts. I keep a good collection of it and I enjoy looking at them and even touching them at times. I actually developed it as a new habit to buy one portrait painted art on every 3 months interval and none of my collection is below $50. I will upload a few pictures of my collection and I would love to have anyone's opinion on them. Does it serve as a good toy replacement?

Yes, in the general sense, they are toys made for the more mature people who are still kids at heart with an active imagination.

I like how you put this your point - mature people who are still kids at heart with an active imagination. It takes one with a high sense of creative imagination to really appreciate such works and derive joy in having them around. At this my age, I simply cannot do without such crafts because they add pleasure to my life and make me a very happy and fulfiled person.

It's not everyone that can get into 3D art creation. It took me 6 months before I got better at it and now, I can be able to print my own toys or anything that I want to print. I'm thinking about printing Deadpool sword.

Who's your Artist or dealer? Those work look very beautiful. I would be interested in buying if it's possible to have any of them shipped to the States.

The only activity that I use to replace playing with toys as an adult is watching movies and TV shows because it is something that I have found to be more entertaining getting into than playing with toys.

I used to play video games very well but it is no longer something that I have much time to do.

Video games is my biggest replacement for toys. It's in fact what pushed me away from using toys. I became so addicted to video games, so I pushed over toys.
