I have a running obsession with vinyl toys. Kidrobot is the best site hands down when it comes to vinyl. (According to me of course) In my office, I have a ton of these silly, goofy, creepy, toys. Why? Good question. I ask myself that quite often.
The other day the CFO, from my company, came into my office and asked “What’s the significance of all those toys”. I didn’t have an answer at first. Then it dawned on me. I asked Phil, the CFO, why he collected baseball cards. I guess the answer is the same – because we like them. He asked me if I had the original boxes. The funny thing is I do. He commented that they would be worth more if I kept the boxes.
What do you call a person that collects items?
A collector
What do the items collect?
Dust
So yeah, the toys collect a ton of dust. It’s really a pain to dust around them. But I like ‘em. The good news is I don’t have much room for them so I haven’t purchased any in awhile.
Except for now. I gotta have the the drunk frog in a bear suit – It’s a classic!
