So I can explain some of the things like what are vinyl toys or designer toys but basically they are pieces of art that you can buy that are mostly very limited for example the Juan Muniz Felipe rex figure is a vinyl toy and there is only 600 in the worlds made or here in this community we refer it as “pieces” like pieces of art and funko are vinyl figures but they are not designer because they are easily found at a local Walmart meanwhile designer toys or vinyl toys are harder to find like you can find some kidrobot at Walmart but those aren’t rare because of that so if you go on their website you can find their designer toys that sometimes can be found at stores full of collectibles and vinyl figures (Now I’m just gonna refer designer toys and vinyl toys as art toys now because it’s easier to spell) . Now people say that it’s for adults no stuff but I agree it’s not really for kids but it’s says at the bottom of some figures like superplastic that they are 13+ or 15+ for other brands but they are mostly 15+ so yeah they are for more mature people . The point of collecting is the same as buying pieces of art for your wall and like to admire them. And finally I’m a superplastic nerd so I can explain a lot of guggimon on so...... guggimon is one of the mascots from superplastic that is a social media in flunecer and has some friends like janky and dayzee and Staxx (I probably misspelled the last 2 names) and guggimon and janky got over 1 million followers and they are famous enough that guggimon is in Fortnite and these characters are basically the mascots and there are figures of janky and guggimon and each one is made bu a different artist and they are limited figures and once they sell out they can be worth hundreds. That’s it finally now here is some advice

Advice :

I recommend kidrobot.com to get some art toys and I recommend superplastic.com

If you want cheaper vinyl figures I recommend 100% soft because of their cute dumpster fire figure or tokidoki

Never buy nfts because they are bad to the environment because they use a lot of electricity and that makes smoke that pollutes the air and wastes a lot of power and they cost thousands of dollars and they are just crypto pieces of art and they are just like pngs on your computers that could be worth hundred of thousands of dollars and you might ask “can’t you just like take a picture of the png and sell it? “but here is where the electricity wasting comes in places so what happens is that to make sure it’s real it uses the amount of power that the average household uses in one day and it pollutes the air

And finally buy art toys when they first realease for example I got a gorillaz superplastic noodle figure for 70 and the official superplastic website but now it’s sold out and can cost up to 200 so you better buy them before they sell out or else it will cost yo a mini fortune

And that’s it! Those are some of my answers for your questions and sorry for the horrible grammar and spelling because I suck at grammar and spelling
