My life with action figures - an interview with dieastra by dieastra

[dieastra]

I want to take part in selenic76's Fandom Fest!

So, I basically interviewed myself. This is what happened:

If you don’t mind me asking - how old are you exactly?

I turned 40 last year - why do you ask?

And you are still playing with dolls?!?Well, yeah. Guess I have kept my inner child, and I love it. I don’t intend to grow up anytime soon, I have way

Haven't read it all yet! But I will.

And that's a cool way to do this. Very clever!

And you should talk forever about it. It's cool and it's you.

Thank you. I enjoy cosplaying. But you are correct. It is either a lot of time or a lot of money in many cases (though it doesn't have to be either if you play your cards right). As for buying original, that's cheating in my opinion. At least for wearing them. You buy a set costume, that's a display piece/for a collection. It's not for wearing.

I'm with you. In enjoy the making of the things more than the wearing, though the wearing is its own reward sometimes. And it makes for fun pictures! But the figuring things out is the best part. The learning.

I'm with you on setting up toys. I used to set up huge battles with my G.I. Joes, then just take them down and set them up again. The actual playing? Not so much. But figuring out the best place to put the sniper so he'd have the best shot? Yeah, I liked that. But as for me personally? I live my life in fantasyland. I pretend all the time, and I'd love to act in any way. I likely won't, but I love the idea of it.

Oh, and yes, set making would be fun, too!
