Bingo. There is nothing childlike about either format.

I beg to differ, If you don't think we're buying all this stuff to satiate our inner-childs I think you need to come to grips with what it is we all buy. It's all childlike, and I love every minute of it.

I didn't know collecting things intended for adults is considered childish.

Really, collecting giant statues and figures of Comic book and Movie characters...what because of the price? Is that why it's an adult thing to do?

Re: Black Widow Movie PF
How is collecting a statue/PF like this from a character I did not know until recently and only knew as an adult satiating my inner child?
Nevertheless, I admit I buy hot toys figures like Christopher Reeve Superman and Batman and Joker 89 to satiate my inner child but I do not consider this PF satiating my inner child because I just appreciate the artwork and the actress.

Re: Black Widow Movie PF
Maybe adult orientated is the wrong word to use. Maybe higher standards is a better word to use. Resin statues or PFs look more like works of art than plastic PVC hot toys do because they are sculpted out of the same material used make statues in fields outside the toy industry.
So it is not a price thing but people that appreciate true art, collect statues because they are not built like toys. By that I mean people that are not into this toy industry collect other statues from other artist and appreciate those works of art from fields other than the toy industry.
I don't know, statues do not look as childish to me as do 1/6 action figures so that is why I probably used that word adult orientated, guess I used the wrong word because like you said collecting comic book and movie characters items is not really an adult thing to do.

Just because you don't know of something until you're an adult doesn't mean it doesn't appeal to your inner child. As a matter of fact companies specifically market to appeal to the inner childs of the adult generation because we are the ones with money.
As you said you like The Reeve Superman and the Keaton Batman/Nicholson Joker, those appease your inner child so why wouldn't a PF of Black Widow from a movie you enjoyed on basic level appeal to your inner child?
It's not a bad thing, believe me I think if I found someone who didn't need to satiate their inner child I'd think that person had a 90% chance of snapping and killing someone.

Either way we collect these things because we think they are "cool", resin or plastic. I collect statues as well, but I have no delusions about where my need to buy $400 batman statue comes from.
I mean I also collect original pop art and Replica statues from the classic masters (Michelangelo especially), but as for sideshow, they fill a very specific need.

Re: Black Widow Movie PF
I know it is not a bad thing to have an inner child, but I am only buying black widow because I appreciate the artwork and think she is hot in real life, not to satiate my inner child. I have never seen Iron man 2 and I wanted this before I saw the avengers, so no I can not see how wanting this satiates my inner child on any level.
I think someone said on here they would buy a statue or PF on here of her if she was eating a bag of potato chips or something, I would do the same thing.
