If I had the cash I would own ALL the action figures. Even the realistic ones.

I don't know, I just think they look so cool. They aren't exact (which might be a good thing), but most the Hot Toys figures and statues are quite accurate and expertly made. I can see why people like them; they're very shiny.

(However, if I owned this thing I would probably wake up in the middle of the night in a cold sweat and steal a glance at it to make sure it hadn't moved in my sleep. Because seriously, that little shit looks evil.)

[sparklywalls]

Hah your comment in the brackets just made me think that when my fiance was putting Loki on our fireplace he said "he looks like he hates me,"

The thing is I am really freaked out by porcelain dolls and chickened out of buying one I had my eye on when I was younger, so I understand your fear!

[elaminator]

I'm sure your fiance had every right to feel like Loki hated him; he probably does. Or would. If he had a consciousness... (That shouldn't make your fiance feel bad though; it seems Loki hates most people.)

Anyway, yes, it does look menacing.

I actually love action figures and statues and own quite a few, but some of them are more cartoonish (like funko toys) and none of them are too realistic. However, again, I don't think I would have a problem with it; it's porcelain dolls that creep me out. (Probably because I've seen one too many scary movies/games/etc that involve them. They can be lovely though!)

[sparklywalls]

That's what I said "he hates all humans" and then I went into a bit of a rant about how ridiculous it was that we were trying to apply consciousness to a piece of plastic. It's pretty funny/weird!

I have a little bit of an action figure collection going on and he's definitely the most extravagant and realistic looking of the whole lot. If I could justify the money I'd probably buy more Hot Toys style figures but I'm not sure if a selection of too many realistic looking figures would start to unnerve me.

Oh porcelain dolls do look lovely, in fact that's why I wanted one. I'd come up to Scotland with my family on holiday years ago and been given so much spending money and that was going to be my main present. Until my sister pointed out the doll horror movie trope. I suddenly wanted a cuddly wolf instead!

[elaminator]

Again, the imagination is a powerful thing. :p

If you had that many Hot Toys then you'd probably adjust to it! Plus, it isn't TOO different than having posters and standees and that kind of thing, right? It all comes from the same kind of place.

D'aww, damn sister! However, cuddly wolves are just as good I'm SURE.

[sparklywalls]

Hmm you know, I think you're right. I coped with having a room full of posters of my favourite bands when I was a teenager and that was sort of a wall of unmoving eyes looking at you from strange angles.

The cuddly wolf was pretty cute and more me if I'm honest. I think I liked the idea of the doll because it was an unusual item more than I liked the idea of actually owning it. Turns out action figures are more my thing than dolls anyway!

Try sleeping in a very untidy room in an old mill because it's the only free bed and there is a broken, very old and dirty one-eyed porcelaine doll on a side table right in your line of sight.

That was a terrible night, let me tell you.

[sparklywalls]

Oh nooooo anon, I'm not sure if I would've slept AT ALL in your position! I don't really believe in the supernatural but that sort of scene would definitely get to me. Sorry you had a bad night!

[(Anonymous)]

It was definitely ... special. Not just the doll, though that definitely was the icing on the cake. But it basically was a room under the roof of a very big attic filled with boxes. The "room" was only seperated by a glass front from the rest of the floor because it was supposed to be turned into a library sometime. But yeah, glass wall, so no privacy either. It actually might have looked really cool as a library, but it was really dirty and cluttered. And of course, that damned doll.

[sparklywalls]

The only thing that comes close for me is I once had to sleep in an antic on a fold out bed underneath a train set. A train set that was one of those that covered almost every available space in the attic. But trains are cool rather than scary and this particular person didn't have any miniature people on the landscape. I think there were model cows at most.

In any other context the room you were in sounds sort of amazing, but I definitely wouldn't want to sleep in it!

[(Anonymous)]

It really was. But sleep was hard anyway, because the owner of the place (a friend's mother-in-law) was sleeping on the same floor and she was snoring so loudly aaaahhh

Big train set sounds kind of cool. At least if it's not too dusty haha.
