In My Brain While Sleeping… Tweaking Existing Toylines
Those that claim to know me might say that I’m a child at heart. Those that really know me would call me an overgrown child. According to my subconscious, I have the mind of a child. I prefer to say I’m living the 13 year-old me’s dream…
This set of dreams involved a pair of toy collections that I’ve previously mentioned on this post, but were sort of blended together. It was the Lego Batman video game, and though I haven’t played it in a while, that did not prevent me from dreaming that there was a Batman toy collection that was kind of like a model train town set (Exhibit A) and a bit like Playmobil (Exhibit B).
Tiny figurines representing each of the characters could be purchased, as well as scenery components, and you could assemble a miniature Gotham City similar to Exhibit C. I guess there’s a toy line called Imaginext that’s kind of like what I envisioned (Exhibit D), but I still imagine(xt) something much darker…
Where the other half of the Lego Batman connection ends up has nothing to do with a Lego town (Exhibit E). It’s more like the Marvel Legends action figure collection (Exhibit F). Every Lego set you purchased could be put together (or should I say combined because of course Lego sets are put together) with other Lego sets to make bigger predisposed items. Again, not like Exhibit E, but like how Galactus is assembled in Exhibit F.
You see, Galactus’ head comes with Professor X, and other pieces of him are packaged along with five other figures in that series. So if you buy all six figures, you can make Galactus. That’s how the Lego sets worked…
Never mind.
You’re adults… you don’t understand.
