There are two things keeping the toy industry afloat right now: inflation and a consumer group known as “kidults.”
These kids at heart are responsible for one-fourth of all toy sales annually, around $9 billion worth, and are the biggest driver of growth throughout the industry, according to data from the NPD Group.

Yes. And you can weed out many more by the elimination people who can’t properly use its and it’s.

Badda Boom!
Adults treat those “toys” as collectibles. It’s all about nostalgia, and partly a hobby.
I figured they would be buying “adult toys.” Because they are adults.
You've got yourself a real treasure! His happy spirit is bouncing off the screen! 🙃
I might know something about that. We had our Boston Bronies Christmas party today at Dave and Busters in Braintree,Ma. I took a walk around the mall afterwards and there were a lot of places selling adult oriented toys.
I was always interested in all things miniature.
Boys didn’t change that :-)
My oldest enjoys Airsoft guns and also collects knives.
My younger son plays Minecraft when he’s not working.
My daughter doesn’t have a job yet, still on school, hasn’t found a hobby for herself...yet.
Omg, my older sister had one of those Kens! I always wondered what was wrong with him. BTW, I never had m6 own Barbies or Kens. Hand me downs everything!

Thank you! He is a good grandpa. He will sit and watch Peter Rabbit cartoon episodes and discuss the morale issues with the girls when he had planned to watch something totally different. He will take them to look for eggs in the hen house and guide them to where he knows the eggs will be, and then let them carry the egg bucket into the house (yes, occasionally,a few do not make it to the kitchen). Next, he will help them break the eggs into a bowl so he can cook each of the girls a special “fresh” egg. They get so excited!

I had to laugh. After you mentioned the hen house I read "girls" as chickens. 😂
Yes and men are always trying to get back where they came from.
