The characters - varied, powerful, yet all flawed

The puzzle - pick them up after years and work them out again. Some have the genius of elegant design.

The imagination - i look at released figures and dream of recolours or improvements and curse (imo) missteps and wasted opportunities. The epic battles and stories of childhood are now mostly 1 v 1 deady encounters.

The business - reading about the how and why things are done for toys and collectables is very interesting to me (though Fun Pub is just plain infuriate me )

The toys - at their best, the colours and shapes absolutely rock! When i see some collections and photography (thank T.B-L for the internet) i can be breathless.

The fiction - so many stories and interpretations of characters exist that i can use the cool moments to overshadow the lame ones. E.g. I love Wheelie because of The Story of Wheelie, the Wild Boy of Quintesson. Also have to mention the '86 TFTM is amazing
