Dollies and such

What exactly is "playing" in this context?
I have quite the little collection of Monster High dolls and some MLPs and Transformers. The MLPs get their hair styled and the TFs get posed. I wouldn't consider this "playing", more like making them look good on the shelf.

With my Monster Highs I style them, dress them, pose them, take pics of them and sometimes I just like to have them in my hands and look at all their beautiful details and just admire them. I also like to have some of them change places once in a while. I move them around in my apartment.
This could be considered "playing" wth them.

But I'm not making them move and narrate over them like most kids do.

However, I would never judge someone who would do something like this. A lot of people write fanfic or draw fanart and to me that isn't very different from acting out stories with pre-existing characters in toy form.
I have yet to meet such a person, though. I'm active in doll fandom and yet I haven't seen anyone "playing" with their dolls for real.
starphotographs: ...I'm not that bad, though. And I don't even light things on fire! Well, not regularly... (Izaya (devious))

If it helps, what I do when I "play" with toys involves a lot of moving them around to make different amusing scenes while laughing quietly to myself. Sometimes I'll tell someone else in the room what the toys are "doing" so they can come look at them and laugh along with me. :P
