In the spirit of being cringe, autistic, and combining my interests, here's my headcanons on whether TADC characters would collect toys, and if so, what kinds.
For the sake of this post, I'm not differentiating between their human and circus selves. In Caine's case, I'm pretending he has access to human world collectibles.
Would not collect toys, they just don't interest her. She doesn't judge anyone who likes them, but she lacks that kind of whimsy. At best she has a few Funko pops, like most millennials.
Mostly has an interest in toys that hold nostalgia for her. G1 My Little Ponies (doesn't care as much for G4), breyer horses, and maybe a few stuffed animals. Her collection would be a mix of her actual childhood toys, replacements for ones she had, but lost, and ones she had really wanted when she was little, but her mom wouldn't let her have. It's a small, but meaningful collection.
Pre-transition she wouldn't have had any, but post transition?
She would collect dolls. Her parents wouldn't let her have any as a child, boys don't get to have dolls. But she has been pinning for ages, and dammit, she always wanted an Ariel doll.
She'd also love Monster High. She couldn't afford to collect them when G1 came out, but she always snaps up any cheap ones second hand. Her favorite is Draculaura.
Would love building Legos in his spare time. He loves putting them together more than he cares about displaying the end product. His favorite sets are the ones he built with his daughters.
Like Pomni, they're not really into collecting toys. They collect vicariously though Gangle, and will happily listen to her talk about her figures.
Her collection is largely merch for various anime and other shows she enjoys. She has statues, Figurearts, proplicas, nendroids, and has even tried her hand at garage kits.
These can be expensive, do she's very choosey about what she'll buy, and has very strong opinions on the quality and aesthetics of different brands.
He fucking loves toys. And cartoons. And toys of cartoons.
Would absolutely have fidget and sensory toys all over the place. He's also a fan of any thing wacky and fun. Collects like Lakenzo or Grand Illusions.
Would also love G4 My Little Pony. He concedes to Ragatha G1 had better toys, but he just loves the cartoon so much. Luna is his favorite, and he's salty that so many of her toys are wildly inaccurate.
His collection is large and eclectic.
