In a heartwarming twist of irony, Carl, an avid action figure collector, is counting down the days to
Christmas, and not for new action figures or toys, but for the ultimate adult essentials:
new socks and underwear!
ToyFarce investigated...
"
I never thought I’d see the day when I would be excited to get socks for Christmas!" Carl confessed to ToyFarce. "
When I was a kid, opening a pack of socks was the ultimate betrayal. It was like unwrapping disappointment in cotton form. But now? Oh man, I can’t wait to restock the sock drawer. My feet are ready for some fresh reinforcements."
As a collector who spends most of his disposable income on action figures, statues, and
must-have limited edition convention exclusive pre-orders, Carl admits that practical necessities tend to fall by the wayside: "
I mean, I could spend $20-30 on a pack of underwear and socks at Walmart, but why do that when there's a new Walmart Exclusive NECA figure dropping the same day? Priorities, man!"
According to Carl, the realization hit him last Christmas when his mom handed him a gift bag stuffed with
boxer briefs and
thermal socks. "
It was like she knew! I was down to my last pair of socks that didn’t have a hole. I actually teared up a little."
This year, Carl has made his Christmas wish list crystal clear. While other collectors are clamoring for the latest
Mezco,
NECA, or
Hot Toys release, Carl has sent subtle hints to his family. "
I’m hoping for some black socks and maybe those fancy moisture-wicking undies! I bet those make you feel special!"
