While there are plenty of examples of people who do not have a healthy balance of adulthood and their interest in toys/stuffed animals/etc., the writer apparently doesn't get that grown adults (usually men) actually can be productive members of society that fully support their families and still enjoy a good "toy" or collectible on their desk or shelf.
I think the growing surge is related to the fact that we grew up in a better time, and highly enjoy the nostalgia of looking back to it. If it didn't suck so often to be a full time adult these days, maybe we wouldn't value toys and collectibles that harken back to the past with so much affection.![Man shrugging :man_shrugging: 🤷♂️](https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/6.0/png/unicode/64/1f937-2642.png)

Adults — grown adults — have surpassed preschoolers as the largest toy consumers
Okay, this is highly embarrassing.
