What type of PM collector are you?
« on: February 21, 2011, 22:49:47 »
Some of us use our Playmobil for more than 1 purpuse, so maybe the question should be 'What do you mostly use your Playmobil for?

I am mainly into displaying, that is the first thing that comes to my mind when I look for a set (even though I don't have much room left anymore :P). I just love to see my sets all set up and together by themes.
Followed by photo art and customizing.

I would love to hear what each and everyone of the PF members finds the most interesting about this hobby and see what's the most and least popular trend 8-)

I guess I would fall under displaying. The main thing I like is building dioramas, which I don't have the space to leave up, but they are temporarily on display, and that's when I'm happiest!  ;D i also have smaller sets and specials displayed on shelves in my living room.

well... I couldn't pick one... but if I had to it would have to be displaying just because I have more limited time for the other activites like photo art, story telling and customizing.
There was a poll a few months ago about this same theme. I wonder how it turned out.... can't find it sorry.

I think this is a really good topic, so I can see why it has come up more than once  ;) I primarily display, but playing is a big part of my collection. I often think about a klicky's love interest or possible niche for him or her our Playmoworld. Collin loves to play with me, too, so I think that helps  :love:

Playing, displaying, customising (just swapping parts actually or expanding castles), story telling (when time permits...) and keeping some misb sets! :)

So just one vote is not enough for me  ;D

I make custom. I like to make pictures of them, photostories when I have time. I also have  a few collector's figures, maybe six…

I selected photo art, but I'm as well a player, customiser and builder.
