What is the real problem is now they do their school work on computers and iPads. So much for limiting screen time

Scoob, the kids around here still play outside all the time. Inside they play sword fighting and nerf gun wars.

They still play on their devices, but even kids can only do that so long before they are bored and want physical activity.

They watch other kids play with action figures on YouTube now. Does that count?

I still buy my kids action figures. Keeping Todd McFarlane a rich man.

The only ones I had as a kid were GI Joe and toy soldiers.

The kids these days don't have the after school cartoons to sell the toys anymore.

Perhaps in less linear video games, there’s more room for creative thinking, but there’s got to be a wider range of creativity possible with action figures than what’s available on many games kids play.


I had this Batman fold out set and would take whatever action figures I had and have battles.

How do? It’s saved. It’s always there.

I’m not even on your lawn.
