There seems to be a dislike for the figures that are in static poses, since they don't have a high "play factor". So my question is, who plays with the figures, and who just has them for display? I'm curious since I don't know anybody who actually plays with them.

Well, being 25, I dont play with them (although the kid in me sure finds it hard sometimes) I look at them as works of art really.

Again with this thread?
I do... I play with the figures. Sorry- I can't help it. It's far too much fun and a great stress reliever. It helps let the mind wander and the imagination grow!

I play with them as much as I can.
I just remembered though, when I was little and I would get stuff like Batman figs and they'd have gimmicks in them like pop-up arm action or something similar to some of gimmicks on the AOTC figures after awhile I got bored of the figures cause I wanted to play with the figure, not the gimmick.

I do not play with my figures as I did when I was a child, like making stories, giving the figures dialogue etc., but I do like to sometimes have the figures in my hand, probably pose it, look at it, and change their accesories.
You just remember what old jack burton says at a time like this. Have you paid your dues? yes sir the check is in the mail.

That's the best part though! Lightsaber noises, blaster shots, ricochets, yells, ship fly-bys, etc.

I recalled having posted in that one... But yes, I once played with my Star Wars figures for five and a half hours...NO BREAKS AT ALL. Not even to the bathroom... I was wound up, I guess.
But it had a movie-quality storyline, and it lasted long enough to be a whole new trilogy of Star Wars movies. Trouble is, I can barely remember what it was about...
