How about taking on doll photography ? It can be nice.
On Monday, I finally found a toy store offering affordable boxes of Lego (and Mega Bloks) — I had been looking for a while, in order to make a photographed webcomic. I hovered around the displays for a while before I finally realized why it wouldn’t work: none of the packages contained any furniture. When I was young, you didn’t have all the Harry Potter, Spider-Man or Star Wars franchises, but there was furniture, at least chairs. (I think.) If I made a webcomic with Barbie dolls, not only I could find all the furniture I can imagine, but the pictures would look much nicer, wouldn’t they? Yeah, I know, Barbie’s out, Lego’s in, on the Internet. Besides, a Barbie doll-house must cost a fortune. So much for my soap opera.
I have to try out a real, large toy store. (If they hadn’t closed every other Toys’r Us in Paris, it would be more convenient.) See if there’s more choice. And the Mega Bloks figurines seem more interesting — a bit more lively than Lego’s. (And they even have dragons!)

Oui, et j'ai même linké il n'y a pas longtemps un article qui expliquaient qu'ils allaient arrêter de faire de la merde :)

Sinon, Playmobil est ton ami, mais ça s'emboîte tout de suite vachement moins bien. ;-)
Il semblerait que le plus grand magasin de jouets de paris, ce soit le Joué Club du boulevard des Italiens. Mais franchement, pour y être allée à Noël, ils ont dû compter les couloirs dans leurs 2000m²...

Qu'est ce qu'ils ont été cons de faire dans la franchise. Quand je pense à toutes ces histoires que je me suis inventé avec les vaisseaux spatiaux que l'on pouvait assembler suivant les plans fournis ou remodeler selon ses désirs...
(C'était avant l'ère starwars dans les légo, inutile de persifler sur l'âge :) )

J'y ai pensé, aux Playmobil, mais j'ai toujours trouvé ça très moche.
